Directions Website

I graduated the Massage Therapy Program at Grant MacEwan University with 2200 hours of training. I come to you and bring my own table, sheets, and lotions.

I have also completed courses in Craniosacral therapy and Visceral manipulation. I am a fully licensed and registered Massage therapist and I practice Craniosacral therapy as a specialty. I work at Back Be Nimble on the south side of Edmonton the following hours:
Mondays 2:00-8:00
Tuesdays 10:00-3:00
Thursdays 1:00-7:00
Saturdays 1:00-7:00

I also offer mobile massage for friends, family, and clients that cannot come to the clinic (reasons such as transportation difficulties). All the individual desiring a massage has to provide is a space for me to set up. I work Edmonton and area, prices varying on distance from where I live. I do home visits the following days:
Wednesday mornings and evenings
Friday mornings and evenings
Sundays occasionally

Back be Nimble pricing and booking can be found at backbenimble.ca or you can contact me directly to schedule. Home Visit pricing varies from $60-$100 depending on age and distance. Family $50
Children 12 or under are $60
Edmonton within the Henday $80
Spruce Grove/Stony Plain/St.Albert/Sherwood Park/Leduc $90
Further than the cities listed above starting at $100

I offer $10 off per household I visit that I do more than one treatment at. (Not applicable for family or children)

I look forward to rehabilitating and educating the world through massage,and hopefully helping you personally in your healing process. Please feel free to message me or email me to ask questions or schedule appointments.

Three reasons you SHOULDN'T choose me as your RMT:
⛔ Even if you're verbally telling me to go deeper and "just do what you have to do to fix it", I'm going to listen to your body first. If the tissues are pushing me out, I'm not going any deeper, friend. Sorry 🤷
⛔ I will not direct bill your appointment under a spouse or dependant's name "because they won't use their benefits anyway". Sorry. That's fraud. I'm out.
⛔ Even if you roll in exactly on time and are eager to get on the table, I'm going to ask you to sit down at the start of EVERY treatment and check in with your body. We are going to review your complaints from the last session, assess what's changed, and plan the massage based on how your body is presenting today. Even if it eats into your table time a bit. (So come 2-5 minutes early!)

Three reasons I might be the perfect massage therapist for you:
✅ I will always listen to what your body needs and do my best not to over work the tissues.
✅ I have excellent time management, and our appointments will always start and end as they're scheduled.
✅ I direct bill to all the major insurance providers, included but not limited to: Blue Cross, Sunlife, Canada Life, Manulife, Equitable Life, and and all the other "life" insurances haha.

✨ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS✨
Book at Unwind With Ashley in Stony Plain online or direct message me for availability. I am located within KARE Collective and work Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 11:00-5:00. Tuesdays will be added to the schedule come December! Read more about my specialties on my website:

The next phase of my schedule change starts this week! I am now down to one day a week at Back Be Nimble, working Tuesdays until the end of November. These next two months at BBN are already fully booked, but clients are welcome to join the online waitlist to try and get in on any cancellations before my last day on November 24th.

This means I am now adding Thursdays to my Stony Plain schedule! I am still constantly amazed by how many new clients find Unwind With Ashley, and whenever I ask, they all say they found me on Google. Typically massage referrals are almost exclusively word of mouth, so this experience is unexpected but greatly appreciated. It definitely validates the six weeks I spent working on my website and SEOs 😅

With that said, I'm almost positive the main reason my business is ranking so high when people search for massage therapy in Stony Plain or Spruce Grove is because of how many of my Edmonton clients reviewed my new business as a parting gift to me starting over in a new town 😭 I will forever be grateful for the generous send-off and all the new clients it's helped send my way!

If you've been massaged by me and haven't left a review on my Google page, it would be incredibly helpful if you did in these last three months of the year. Eventually my reviews will naturally slow and my ranking will likely fall, but if I can keep it up there for just a couple more months while I rebuild my clientele through the fall, that would be spectacular ✨

New business cards have arrived! 🎉 Because the clinic I work within changed names this month I used the opportunity to redesign my cards. I made the fonts bigger and easier to read, and I gave them a bit more design dimension so they weren't as simple (still questioning this choice, but I think it turned out cute?)

I also strongly prioritized distinguishing the text at the very top of my cards because when it's stacked on the rack with all the other practitioners at Kare Collective Wellness, that's the only part you can see.

Overall I'm pretty happy with them!

Note about the comparison photo: the top row shows the front and back of the old cards, then the second row shows the front and back of the new cards 🥰

✨ My secret weapon when tissues are resisting release. ✨

Visceral Manipulation is a gentle hands-on technique focused on supporting the mobility and health of the organs. The treatment focuses on the abdomen, chest, and throat, and is often done skin-to-skin but can be done over the sheets as well. Soft intentionally placed compressions and twists are done to help organs unwind and release any ligaments holding them too tight.

If booking VM separate from your massge please wear comfortable, loose fitting clothing that can expose your abdomen. Avoid jeans, belts, and thick waist bands, bras with wires, one-piece outfits such as rompers, or anything else overly restrictive.

If treatment is needed closer to sensitive areas such as breasts or bladder, practitioner will communicate with client to ensure comfort, and contact is done over sheets or clothes to maintain client modesty and safety.

Please note: pelvic work such as bladder and reproductive support is only offered to clients with female anatomy. Clients with male anatomy are encouraged to seek other providers for these specific services. Thank you for respecting this personal boundary.

Great for:
✨ Balancing overall health
✨ Chronic pain and tension (especially neck, back, and hips)
✨ Digestive support (IBS, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, acid reflux, gallstones, and more)
✨ Respiratory restrictions
✨ Female reproductive system balancing
✨ Removed organs (min. 8 weeks post op or longer)

Recommended booking time:
Clients can request 10-20 minutes of their massage for visceral focus, or they can book 30-45 minute sessions to focus exclusively on organ balancing.

Swipe through the photos to read about my fall schedule, upcoming email referrals, a note to my cranio clients, and a brief thank you ✨

Well, it's official: my last shift at Back Be Nimble has been determined. As of October 1st I'll be dropping down to one day a week in Edmonton, and November 24th will be my last shift before I am fully moved out to Stony Plain. My limited fall hours at BBN are already fully booked, though my waitlist remains open online.

TBH I considered going to the end of the year, but it made better sense to open my Stony calendar fully sooner. My December is always busy with holiday planning and book events, and because many people try to use their remaining benefits up, it's a good month for meeting new clients. Leaving at the end of November also means I'll be able to avoid a month of winter driving.

Throughout September I'll be personally emailing all my BBN clients thank yous and massage referrals. Please keep an eye on your inbox (and spam) for my message!

I am eternally grateful that I was able to do this transition gradually. Back in April I had no idea how long it would take for me to feel financially secure enough to stand on my own, and I know I'm so lucky that BBN (and my clients) gave me the time to figure things out without rushing. My heart is both very full and heavy knowing these last couple months will be laden with goodbyes, but I am incredibly excited for this next step in my career and appreciate everyone's support.

✨UPDATE✨ As of Sept 1st the darling clinic I've been working out of in Stony Plain named Treestone officially becomes Kare Collective Wellness ❤️ This past month gradual changes have already been happening, from updated interior paint to new couches and decor. Seeing the main sign change this Friday felt the most official though!

FAQs:
1. Did I know there would be an ownership and brand change when I signed on?
- Yes, absolutely. I got to meet both owners during my interview meeting and was lucky enough that we all hit it off spectacularly!

2. What is happening with Treestone now?
- The owner of Treestone is stepping back from running the clinic, but she's still working here as her own entity (same as me operating Unwind With Ashley)

3. Will there be any more big changes?
- Not that I'm aware of! Maybe some tweaks to decor here and there, but because my booking systems and scheduling are completely independent of Kare Collective, nothing within my own practice really changes :)

EDIT: UPDATED DATE ✨ Kare Collective is having its grand opening open house on Monday, Sept 21st from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. There's going to be ribbon cutting, drinks, snacks, and door prizes for anyone who wants to stop by and check it out 😊

This is probably my most used and favorite specialty in my massage practice.

Craniosacral Therapy is a light touch modality that focuses on soothing the nervous system by unwinding tissues and joints. The gentle touch is often around the head, spine, and tailbone, but it is a full body treatment.

There can be elements of hands off techniques (to balance chakras or release energy cysts) and SomatoEmotional release (intentional dialogue paired with hands on techniques to facilitate releases of emotion trapped in the body) as needed, but often treatments are done in silence and are incredibly soothing.

Cranio can be done undressed (same as massage) or clothed. For clothed sessions, please wear comfortable, loose fitting clothing. Avoid jeans, belts, and thick waist bands, bras with wires, or anything else overly restrictive.

Cranio is excellent for:
✨ Headaches and migraines
✨ Concussions
✨ PTSD
✨ Anxiety, stress, and sleep disorders
✨ Tinnitus, dizzyness
✨ Jaw problems
✨ Following a car accident
✨ Trauma recovery
✨ Pre and Post surgery
✨ Pregnancy
✨ Relaxation

Recommended booking time:
I often blend at least 5 minutes of cranio into each massage, though clients can request a half and half treatment with the time split evenly between massage and cranio. You can also book a cranio appointment completely separate from massage. Options include 30 minutes (best for children or clients who need a quick tune up), 45 minutes (most common), or a maximum of 60 minutes.

QOTD: Have you ever had craniosacral therapy?

My job is pretty sweet. I get to work in a warm, dim room with soothing music. I can wear yoga pants and sneakers daily. There are minimal stressors or safety risks.

However, as lovely as my career is day to day, occasionally activities outside of work affect my job. I'm not talking about workout soreness or that time I broke my ankle playing soccer (but yes, I did come to work on crutches and massaged sitting down all month lol). Instead, I'm talking about the reason I refuse to play basketball with my boyfriend or garden without gloves.

Finger injuries as an RMT seriously suck 😅 I've been lucky enough to avoid any sprains, but whenever I get a paper cut or a minor cooking injury my first panicked thought is, "Omg, will I be able to work tomorrow?"

Last week I was cutting a really tough watermelon and used my index finger to reinforce the blade 🤦 Turns out the back was also sharp... Luckily it wasn't deep and a finger cot covered the injury site so I wouldn't have to worry about it splitting or getting infected. I only had to work one shift before vacation anyway, so I knew it would heal quickly.

BUT THEN I GOT A CASE OF THE MONDAYS 😒 and on my drive home from BC I caught my finger in the clasp that seals the soft top of the truck box. Sooooo I'm back to wearing a finger cot this week... Honestly, I prefer minor cuts like this so I can just wear the single-finger glove as opposed to full gloves when the injuries are on the knuckles or palms. Clients tend not to notice a difference when it's just the cot, but gloves can be a bit noisy.

If I worked a normal desk job I could probably just bandaid this, but at least there are options so I can keep working!

✨ FUN FACT: If you ever have an RMT that wears gloves, I promise you it's NOT because they don't want to touch you. Most therapists who have to wear gloves often have sensitive skin and are covering excema triggered by massage oils. This is actually why I use organic massage lotion instead of oil. It costs more and I go through it faster, but my hands (and many of my clients) appreciate it!

Upcoming massage openings at Unwind With Ashley:
Today, Aug 21st, at 2:15 or 4:00 p.m.
Friday, Aug 28th, at 1:15 or 2:15 p.m.

Small humans need time to unwind too! Reasons why babies and kids get massages and/or craniosacral therapy:

✨ Post-birth head shape support
✨ Digestive struggles
✨ Stress, anxiety, and emotion management
✨ Highly athletic lifestyles
✨ Growing pains
✨ Injury recovery
✨ To learn about anatomy and self-care

Note: not all massage therapists work with infants or children.

I personally work on infants under 2 and children 5 or older, though I really love working with young clients between 7 to 13 years old. My rule of thumb is if the kid wants (or needs) a massage, can be relatively quiet/respectful of the clinic space, and is able to tolerate lying on a table for body work for at least twenty minutes, then I'd be more than happy to work on them!

Most often, sessions with kids are focused on relaxation, soothing aches or elevated nervous systems, and teaching them about their bodies, autonomy, and self-care.

Treatments with babies tend to be more energetic balancing, digestive support, and alignment focused. Right now I actually have a two month old client coming to me because he is favoring one side (always turning his head to the right) and developing a flat spot on his head, so I'm treating him with a combination of massage and cranio.

FAQ answers:
- 30 minute sessions are recommended to start
- if we end the session early, you will still be charged the minimum appointment time
- During a massage, children can be undressed if they're comfortable (athletic shorts are encouraged) or they can wear loose, comfortable clothing which I work on top of. Same as adults, draping is used to maintain the client's modesty and safety.
- Parents are encouraged to stay in the treatment room for the first visit and welcome to stay for subsequent massages until the child is comfortable on their own.

QOTD: How old were you when you got your first professional massage? Under ten? Under twenty? Under thirty? Tell me in the comments!
