Ashley is a Massage Therapist with a Bachelors degree in Anthropology and a Masters degree in Archeology. In recent years she has taken training to become a death doula which is being incorporated into her practice. Ashley tells us her story of a pivotal moment that made her realize that western cultures don’t do a great job at making people comfortable with the concepts of death and dying. As a society that believes there’s either life OR death, we don’t often focus on life AND death. As a death doula, one of Ashley’s goals is to allow people who are dying, and their families, the opportunity to get the most out of the rest of their physical life, and to not feel as though their life is over before it is. Ashley is a presenter at the Canadian Massage Conference this coming June in Halifax where she will be teaching Therapists about End of Life Care.
