Bodywork
Your invitation to relax and restore
Usui Reiki
Rei-ki is Japanese for
“Spiritually guided life force.”
Life force is pure source energy. Our bodies use this energy for everything from digestion to movement to cellular regeneration. During a Reiki session this energy flows from the hands of the practitioner into your body to be utilized where it is needed most.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release is a hands-on technique of applying gentle, sustained pressure in order to reduce restrictions, pain and restore motion.
Fascia is a connective tissue that weaves itself throughout your entire body. It is said that fascia is the medium though which consciousness moves through tissue. A soft and flexible body allows communication between all parts of yourself.
Cupping
Massage Cupping is a pleasurable and effective therapy utilizing suction cups on the skin.
Cupping is used to increase local blood supply; providing nourishment to tissues, reducing qi stagnation, inflammation, and assisting toxins to be carried away via the lymphatic system.
“Oh....my... god! I literally feel like you took 100 lbs of bricks off of my back! Wow... I tried massage, energy work, but none of it gives me the results you do. This actually works, and not just short term! Amazing!"

What clients have to say…
"She may be little but she has magic hands. Immediately I was like, "aww that is nice." It's like no massage I have ever had, but wow does it feel great! I went in with my sinuses all clogged for 3 days, my glands were swollen, and my body ached. Within 2 hours after leaving the treatment I was all cleared up. I was and still am amazed! At no point was I in any discomfort during the treatment. I highly recommend Lauren for this method, she knows what she is doing whether it’s for a specific pain or even just to be more healthy, helping everything flow."
-Charles
"Loved my session with Lauren!!! My muscles were so tight, I needed decent detox pull. I'm definitely making a regular habit of this, will really help my body stay happy!"
-Amanda
"I finally got to experience a session with Lauren and I can't recommend her more!!! The two-hour massage cupping session was out of this world! I came in with significant pains in the lower back, neck and shoulders. To my astonishment when I got up from the table I felt weightless and all the previously tight areas were pain-free! I also really appreciated Lauren finding and working on a scar from an old surgery. I was not consciously aware that a lot of painful memories were still stored in the area of the scar. Lauren’s work helped clear both the pain and related memories till nothing was lingering there anymore. The entire experience of the session was highly enjoyable too, I might have left my body and went straight to Heaven once or twice! I am both grateful and amazed. What a gift and powerful technique. Lauren's energy, precision and the power of her hands puts her on top of my personal list of practitioners in Sedona."
-Isabella
"I must tell anyone who is thinking of getting this done with Lauren it's an amazing experience. I was going through stage 4 breast cancer and swelling in my arm and hand. One treatment from Lauren and my own Dr. Wanted to know how the swelling went down so fast. Not to mention, Lauren does much of her healing because of the love she has to help others heal."
-JoAnna
"Lauren truly has a magical touch! During my cupping session she was extremely sensitive to all the areas of discomfort and blocks - both in my physical and etheric bodies. She has an angelic presence and, despite her small frame, a lot of healing power. After the treatment I could clearly feel changes in my body and I've been feeling positive adjustments a few weeks post-treatment. What a power-house! I definitely recommend her, whether to relieve stress, maintain health, or to address a more serious issue."

Q & A
What is cupping?
Cupping is a healing practice originating over 3,000 years ago in Ancient Egypt. The suction created by cupping, activates, lifts and stretches tissue in order to soften muscles, loosen adhesions and connective tissue, bring hydration and blood flow to the area, as well as draining excess fluid and toxins by opening lymphatic pathways.
What conditions respond well to cupping therapy?
Arthritis, Anxiety, Asthma, Cellulite, back and neck pain, IBS, Lung congestion, Plantar fascists, Psoas tension, Migraines, Muscle stiffness, Post-operative conditions, Poor circulation, Scar tissue, Sinus congestion, Sciatica, Spider veins, Edema, Toxicity.
What is the discoloration that occurs after some treatments?
Cupping sometimes produces "hickies" on the skin. If this appears during treatment it is a sign that intense stagnation have been released in an area. This is not a bruise and should disappear completely within a few days. The marks will lessen in color more treatments you receive.
*Please note: Cupping should never be painful! Please inform me immediately if you experience any pain during treatment.
What should I wear?
MFR is a hands on technique which requires skin to skin contact, if you wish to receive MFR, please be aware your skin should be clean and free of any lotions or oils. Wearing minimal clothing allows for direct access to most areas of the body. For example, shorts, underwear and a bra would be appropriate clothing options.
Is it safe to receive a session if I have an injury or illness?
Myofascial Release cannot injure you because the movements and release are driven by your own subconscious. This part of you knows exactly what is needed for your mental, emotional and physical realignment and would never cause you any harm. Cupping is not performed directly on open wounds, nor local or recent traumas. However the area around the trauma may benefit from treatment.
What is Myofascial Release?
Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. This essential “time element” has to do with the viscous flow and the piezoelectric phenomenon: a low load (gentle pressure) applied slowly will allow a viscoelastic medium (fascia) to elongate.
“Trauma, inflammatory responses, and surgical procedures create Myofascial restrictions that can produce tensile pressures of approximately 2,000 pounds per square inch on pain sensitive structures that do not show up in many of the standard tests including x-rays, myelograms, CAT scans and electromyography.”
-John F. Barnes, Founder of JFB Myofascial Release Therapy
"Fascial restrictions form during mental, emotional and physical trauma we experience. This tension is then held in the body, tightening more and more over time; inhibiting blood, nerve and energy flow throughout the body. These restrictions, if left too long often lead to dis-ease."
-Lauren Ashley
“Receiving a healing session from Lauren is such a safe, powerful, deep experience. She has the ability to purely channel love and light, allowing deep deep work on multiple layers within ones being. I am a person who is very careful with whom I go to for healing work or give recommendations to others, yet Lauren is an amazing healer held very close to my heart.”
