About

Hi, I’m Ashton — licensed massage therapist and owner of At Ease Bodywork. I became a massage therapist because I wanted to help people feel better in their bodies, but over time I’ve realized that massage is about so much more than working on tight muscles. So many of us spend our days stressed, overstimulated, overwhelmed and constantly pushing through. Our bodies carry all of it. That’s why my approach to massage combines intentional therapeutic bodywork with a space where you can finally slow down. Whether you’re dealing with chronic tension, sore muscles, headaches, stress, pregnancy discomfort, or you simply need an hour where nobody needs anything from you, every session is tailored to what your body needs that day. I’m not interested in making massage hurt just for the sake of calling it “deep tissue.” I believe effective bodywork can be therapeutic while still allowing your nervous system to relax. Some sessions may involve focused work, stretching or cupping, while others may call for slower, calming techniques. We’ll figure that out together. Outside of the massage room, I’m a mom to my son, Bodie, a small-business owner, and someone who understands firsthand how easy it is to spend your life taking care of everyone else while putting yourself at the bottom of the list. At Ease was created to be a place where you don't have to do that. Come as you are. Take up the space. Let your body exhale for a while. I currently offer massage appointments in Sheldon, Hartley and Paullina, Iowa, with availability varying by location. I can’t wait to have you on my table. 🤎 — Ashton Licensed Massage Therapist At Ease Bodywork
