Ashleigh is a Columbia, SC native and has lived most of her life in Columbia. Always a mountain lover, Ashleigh ventured off to Brevard College to study liberal arts (many of them). She returned to Columbia to attend USC for a few semesters and to help create the opportunity to study abroad in Paris. Ashleigh then returned to Brevard to finish off her last semester of college and graduated with a degree in Integrated Studies of Liberal Arts. Ashleigh had known for a while that she was very interested in going to massage school, so right after graduation, she enrolled in The Center for Massage and Natural Health in the Asheville mountains. She studied many massage modalities, basic nutrition, and learned more about many other health and healing modalities. After graduation from CMNH and receiving her certification, Ashleigh immediately began working as massage therapist in the Asheville area for a local spa and in private practice. In 2009, Ashleigh returned to Columbia where she began working on her long-term business plans and created RASA, which is a growing independent business. In 2013 Ashleigh became a Registered Yoga Teacher after completing a 200 hour certification and now offers private yoga classes at RASA in addition to weekly classes. Ashleigh has a long list of “what’s next” for her.  She plans to continue her education in many other health and self care avenues. Ashleigh wants to bring together as many components of healthy-living and bundle them into one great package of healing.
