Hi, I'm Ashley, the owner and Licensed Massage Therapist behind Beacon Rock Massage. I live near Beacon Rock and love its beauty and all the amazing scenery that surrounds us here in the Columbia River Gorge. I relocated in 2020 to the area after practicing massage for four years in Vail, CO. I am currently taking appointments in Camas on Mondays. Please book online or inquire by text 509-903-6633. I am located in the Everett Building, 534 NE Everett St, Suite 202, Camas, WA.  I have been practicing massage since 2015, and love that there are endless learning opportunities, techniques, and styles of massage. I am always learning and growing to better serve myself and my clients. I have taken several continuing education classes and feel most drawn to practicing John F. Barnes style myofascial release, but have also taken thai massage, lomi lomi (Hawaiian massage), reiki, and more. I enjoy incorporating traction, stretching, movement, and craniosacral into my massage, as well as using cupping techniques. I like thinking about the body as a whole, trying to help clients bring balance into their bodies. I don't always think it's about using "deep" pressure or "light" pressure but using the right amount of pressure to engage tissue, encourage releases, and bring the body back into balance. Sometimes the most effective techniques are just meeting the body where it's at, and providing it a safe place to relax and reminding it how to release. When practicing myofascial release, it is targeting the fascial system, a spider web like covering that surrounds all organs, muscles, bones, and nerves. By releasing the fascia, there are profound and lasting benefits of healing the whole internal body. This is slow, gentle, and intentional work.  I'm continually fascinated by the healing benefits and positive effects of massage therapy! I truly believe we all benefit from and need bodywork.
