About Osteopathy & Our Services

Do you ever feel like your body is clinging to pain, tension, or stress no matter what you do? Persistent pain, fatigue, and ongoing symptoms often stem from more than just muscles and joints, they’re deeply influenced by the nervous system, hormones, and immune function.

Touch shapes how we experience the world. It’s a potent form of therapy that communicates safety, presence, and vitality allowing us to reconnect with ourselves in ways that words alone often can’t.

Osteopathy is a gentle, hands on therapy that helps to unwind patterns of tension, restore ease, and support balance within your body. Healing begins when the body feels safe, seen, and supported.

Osteopathic treatments can help support headaches and migraines, neck or back pain, frozen shoulder or joint pain, digestive discomfort or gut issues, painful periods or hormonal imbalances, fatigue, brain fog, lingering inflammation, anxiety, stress, or a sense of being “stuck” in your body.

RESTORE MOBILITY AND FUNCTION

Osteopathic Treatment


Osteopathic treatment is a gentle, hands-on approach that seeks to restore balance, ease and optimal function, supporting long-term well-being and resilience. Based on the philosophy that the body is an integrated system where structure and function are deeply interconnected, and that the body has an inherent ability to self-heal when given the right support.

REDUCE PAIN

Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT)

Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) is a gentle, evidence-based approach designed to help you understand and retrain how your brain interprets pain signals. Chronic pain often continues even after the body has healed because the nervous system remains in a state of protection. Through guided awareness, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation techniques, these sessions help calm that response = allowing the body to feel safe again.

RESTORE CALM

Craniosacral Therapy


Nervous system regulation sessions are designed to help your body shift out of survival mode and into a state of calm and repair. This form of care focuses on creating safety within the body, allowing the parasympathetic nervous system — responsible for rest, digestion, and healing — to function optimally. Through gentle manual techniques, breath awareness, and subtle sensory input, these sessions aim to release held tension, quiet overactive stress responses, and improve communication between the brain and body.

  • If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!

    Having visited chiropractors for years, I’ve never experienced such rapid improvement until I started seeing Ashley for osteopathic treatment. My sciatica is nearly nonexistent, and my TMJ has improved faster than any other treatment I’ve received over the past 15 years. Ashley’s ability to explain things clearly adds to the exceptional experience. Highly recommend visiting Ashley if you have ailments / soreness in your body🌟

  • My appointments with Ashley have been the perfect addition to my treatment plan!

    Although I had heard of Osteopathy I was not quite sure what to expect going into my first appointment. However, after just a few minutes with Ashley I knew that this modality was a great fit for me, given its holistic and whole-body approach to health issues. I am impressed by Ashley’s knowledge and her gentle, caring and patient approach. I find myself looking forward to my appointments with her and always leaving feeling better than when I came in. Ashley has been an integral part of my recovery.

  • I was experiencing pain in my lower back.

    I went to see Ashley for an osteopath treatment. After completing an assessment she began working on me. Her technique is gentle but firm. She is very professional. I found her to be warm and caring and I felt very comfortable with her and the treatment. I would absolutely recommend Ashley. Following my appointment my back pain dissipated.

  • My experience with Ashley has been amazing!!

    I have never been to an osteopath, and I had kind of come to terms with the fact I was going to have to live with chronic headaches. I suffered from chronic headaches due to a concussion. 1-2 times a week I was having them for about 9 and a half years. I have been to physio therapy a few times when my doctor would send me. But the headaches never went away. They were triggered by anything, strong smells, the weather, loud noises, and a lot of the time just randomly. I saw Ashley about my headaches and she worked on my head. Within three visits I started seeing a difference. My headaches were not as bad. Each visit they improved more and more. On my second last visit I had been headache free for about two weeks! I went for one more check in visit three weeks later still headache free. I can now proudly say I have been headache free for 7 and a half weeks!! She worked on my head and jaw, and my last two visits she worked on the roof of my mouth. Thank you Ashley!!
