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 throughout my career, I've learned that massage is about so much more than working out tight muscles. So many of us spend our days stressed, overstimulated, overwhelmed, and constantly pushing through. And whether we realize it or not, our bodies carry so much of that. That's why my approach focuses on intentional, relaxation-based massage that allows you to slow down, release everyday tension, and simply be present. Whether you're experiencing sore muscles, headaches, stress, pregnancy discomfort, or you just need an hour where absolutely nobody needs anything from you, my goal is to create a space where you can finally exhale. I believe massage doesn't have to hurt to be beneficial. My sessions incorporate light to medium pressure, soothing techniques, and focused attention to areas of tension while prioritizing your comfort and relaxation. Deep tissue and sustained heavy-pressure massage are not part of my standard services. Every session is customized because no two bodies are the same, and what you need one day may be completely different from what you need the next. 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. You don't have to earn your rest. You don't have to apologize for needing a break. And you certainly don't have to wait until you're completely burnt out to take care of yourself. Come as you are. Take up the space. Let your body exhale for a while. I currently offer massage appointments in Sheldon, Iowa. I can't wait to welcome you to my table. 🤎 — Ashton Licensed Massage Therapist At Ease Bodywork
