Hi In Motion!!

(Please read to the end of the Bio for booking terms with Ashley)

I am excited to welcome Ashley Naranjo to the In Motion team!

Ashley's schedule is now available for booking until the end of Aug. Come closer to August, we will open the remainder of the year.

PLEASE NOTE- When booking with Ashley, all clients new or old to In Motion MUST book an Initial Assessment with Ashley. When seeing any new massage therapist it is mandatory that you complete their health history form (will be emailed to you when booking) and allow time for an initial assessment so that she can provide appropriate care. When booking the duration of your initial assessment, please take this into consideration that 15 mins will be dedicated to your assessment. Moving forward you can then book continuing treatments. Please feel free to email back with any questions to clarify. Ashley books on the 15 min intervals.

Ashley's Bio

Ashley is a Registered Massage Therapist with over six years of experience, offering a thoughtful, client-centered approach grounded in her background in kinesiology and passion for holistic care. She believes in treating the body as an interconnected system and works collaboratively with clients to support long-term wellness—not just short-term relief.

Having experienced chronic pain herself, Ashley brings genuine empathy and understanding to her treatments. She prioritizes creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard and empowered. Through thorough assessments and open communication, she develops personalized treatment plans that align with each client’s goals while emphasizing education and self-awareness.

Ashley offers both relaxation-focused Swedish massage and targeted therapeutic treatments. Her advanced training includes pelvic health applications for manual therapy, sensory-based approaches, cupping for myofascial release, and other specialized techniques.

Originally from London, Ontario, Ashley is now based in Ottawa and is enjoying getting to know the city. Outside the clinic, she loves staying active, dancing, and exploring her interests in psychology, music, pain science, sci-fi, and spirituality.

Thank you all for giving her a warm welcome. I trust that you will be in good hands.

✨ Self-Love Through the Senses ✨

I’m hosting a small, intimate gathering in the treatment space for a gentle evening of rest, sound, breath, and scent.

This Friday at 6pm

This experience weaves together:
🌿 Breathwork
🌿 A grounding stretch
🌿 Gong bath
🌿 Guided meditation
🌿 Essential oils to support emotional awareness and self-connection

We’ll be working with doTERRA oils—Breathe, Frankincense, and Lavender—to explore how scent can gently guide our emotional state and invite more self-love into the body.

This isn’t about fixing or doing—
it’s about slowing down, softening, and receiving.

🕯 Small group (5–6 people)
🏡 Hosted in treatment space
💛 Tip jar

If you’re craving a nervous-system reset and a moment to reconnect with yourself, this space is for you.

DM me to save a spot ✨ Doors will only be opened to those that reserved as space is limited.

Rest, Connect, Restore — For Two
A Couples AromaTouch Experience☺️
This 75-minute private session is designed to help couples slow down, reconnect, and learn a gentle way to support one another’s well-being through intentional touch and essential oils.
During your session, I will guide both partners through doTERRA’s AromaTouch Technique — a specific, gentle touch sequence that combines carefully selected essential oils with light, intentional application along the back and feet. Each partner will take turns applying the oils to their loved one, creating space for balance, relaxation, and shared presence.
You’ll learn:
• How to safely apply each oil in the AromaTouch sequence
• The intention behind each step of the gentle touch technique
• How this structured application supports relaxation and nervous system balance
• A simple practice you can continue using together at home
No massage experience is required. This is an educational and experiential session, not a massage treatment, and is focused on connection, calming the body, and learning a supportive at-home ritual.
Sessions are offered in my studio space and are by appointment only.
Availability is limited, so advance booking is recommended.
Investment: $100 per couple (75 minutes)

✨ Essential Oils & Massage: Supporting the Nervous System ✨
Stress lives in the body — and so does our capacity to soften, regulate, and return to balance.
Join me for a LIVE conversation on how I integrate essential oils with massage to support relaxation, emotional well-being, and nervous system regulation.
We’ll talk about:
🌿 How aroma affects the brain and emotions
🌿 How essential oils can “set the stage” for a massage
🌿 My go-to oils for relaxation, tension, and stress support
🌿 How you can use oils safely at home or in your practice
This is for massage therapists and anyone curious about using essential oils intentionally — without overwhelm.
