Meet Our Therapists

Ashlee Dent

Ashlee is a graduate of Bay College’s 625 hour massage therapy program. Communicating with clients and their needs to help guide her intuition, she combines techniques like stretching, deep tissue, neuromuscular, and trigger point therapies to offer a tailored massage. In addition, Ashlee offers ashiatsu massage- a deeply therapeutic modality using feet to administer pressure, flow, and massage techniques.
Her intentions are to remind the areas of the body the spaces they can happily inhabit, leaving the body and mind feeling whole and relaxed again. Her goal is that you walk away feeling different than when you arrived, as if you’ve returned to the space that is your comfortable home. We only have one body in this life and we should love existing in it!
