I have created Artizen Acupuncture to share my passion for the healing arts and the visual arts with my patients and the community. After moving around the entire West Coast and even the Midwest, I feel like I am back to my roots.
I am so excited to be back in the PNW and in the amazing little town of Camas. Everyone here has been so welcoming and friendly. I feel so grateful to fulfill my dream of having a clinic space that can also display local artists. I love the multitude of events that go on in Camas and love to participate in the festivities of First Fridays!
I look forward to meeting you and helping you with your wellness journey!
A little about me…
I grew up in Washington and Alaska, nurtured by a mother who believed in the values of natural medicine, gardening, and art, and a father who instilled a passion for adventure, nature, and photography. Growing up I always believed I would have a career in art, so I chose to attend an art college for a degree in photography. Moving back to Alaska after college I I was drawn to massage school, then yoga teacher training. I made my way back to Washington then Oregon, I finally had my opportunity to attend acupuncture school at the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine.
I have practiced as a massage therapist for 14 years, but currently focus on more acupuncture based treatments. This experience has given me the benefit of years of honing my therapeutic touch. I have a calming presence and an intuitive touch that allows me to put my patients at ease.
At Artizen Acupuncture I’ve incorporated my love for design into my practice space, to create a comfortable and pleasing environment to all the senses. Here you can truly relax and have a moment to yourself.
I specialize in pain relief, cosmetic acupuncture, dermatology, and general wellness. I am certified in Facial Applications for Cosmetic Enhancement from the Pacific College of Health, a program created by the best cosmetic acupuncturists in the country. I have also trained in the gentle style of acupuncture called Balance from Dr. Tan, Shiatsu, reflexology, and more.
My goal is to offer my patients the time and space they need to be truly listened to, with the aim of discovering the underlying causes of their issues. My approach is gentle, intuitive, and grounding. You will leave my space feeling refreshed, revived, and inspired!
Each day, I am astounded by the healing potential of acupuncture and its ability to transform lives by harmonizing the body. Acupuncture works by naturally harmonizing the body's energy flow, which not only enhances physical health but also promotes emotional well-being. It can stimulate the body's innate healing processes, improve circulation, and boost the immune system. With acupuncture I can help you achieve your beauty and wellness goals.
It’s my pleasure to help your mind and body feel at its best.
Best wishes on your journey to wellness,
Ashley
