She understands that doing this deep healing work is not always easy and truly thanks all of those who have the courage to take that step towards greater self integration and wholeness. She continues to be humbled by the magic the modalities she offers can create for her clients and would like to share with you some of their personal experiences.

The below statements have been given from clients who have worked with or continue to work with Ashley:

Ashley is a lovely person and is absolutely incredible at what she does. Her studio is welcoming and provides a very calm and safe energy for each session. Her practice has helped me immensely with headaches, anxiety, and ringing in my ears as a result of head injuries and the stresses of life. I will continue to see Ashley and would absolutely recommend her to anyone interested in craniosacral therapy.

-Andrew, Sales Manager, 2024

Before my pregnancy, I saw Ashley for both cranial sacral therapy and vibroacoustic therapy. I had felt the powerful impact these sessions had on regulating my nervous system and was familiar with Ashley’s gentle, mindful and knowledgeable work. After becoming pregnant I wanted to continue seeing Ashley for my own wellness and the health of my growing baby. The experience I had receiving treatments from Growing Whole during that time were really special and intimate between myself and my baby. Ashley helped me to understand my needs and the needs of my fetus before we had even looked into each other’s eyes. I still remember the moment of awe I felt. I had a very enjoyable, uncomplicated pregnancy and was able to give birth at home. I believe having Ashley involved in my prenatal care helped facilitate the positive experience I had as a pregnant person and giving birth. I would encourage other potential parents to consider making this part of their pregnancy journey.

-Randi Ball, Child Educator 2024

Ashley combines deep knowledge, skill, intuition and empathy. She is highly professional and her work makes a profound difference for both my daughter and myself. She met my daughter where she was and with patience and good humor has helped her progress, creating a safe and trusting space for her.

-Liz, Psychologist 2024

I can’t say enough good things about Ashley and the amazing work she does. Before I started working with her I knew nothing about Reiki and would not have considered using it as a self-care tool. I have experienced so many benefits since doing Reiki with Ashley and would recommend it to anyone looking to improve sleep, decrease stress, and boost overall well-being. It’s made a huge difference for me!

-Stephanie, Speech Pathologist 2024

I don’t know if I have words to describe what a gift Ashley is in my life. My physical body and my nervous system have been through a lot, and the last few years have seen a constant search for new ways of healing, new practitioners, new modalities… but all that faded away when I started seeing Ashley. She is able to calm my entire being like no one or nothing else ever has. At the end of each session, I am so deeply into a parasympathetic state that I have to move very slowly when I get up! Whether she is facilitating craniosacral therapy or Reiki, her intuition and ability to sense the subtlest of energies and tap into my needs is almost other-worldly. My sessions are honestly my favourite hour of the week—even though the increased abilities to manage my emotions, relax, and sleep are now my constant reality. I have been so blown away by this work that I’ve recommended it to family and friends, and everyone is as thrilled as I am with the experience. If you’re in Vancouver and could benefit from some supportive care, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual… look no further

-Kelli, Counsellor 2024

I highly recommend Ashley Eden for any healing journey you’re on: emotional or physical, as they are usually connected.
Ashley’s healing hands have been a welcome help through my journey of migraine pain. Her ability to connect with body systems is second to none. I always look forward to her gentle ways and peaceful presence.
Ashley has a deep understanding of her specialties and her outstanding reputation is based on results.

-Michelle, Lawyer 2021

I was referred to Ashley Eden by my Acupuncturist and started Reiki treatments with her in early 2020. Since then, Reiki has been a huge part of my life and my experience with Ashley has been incredible! She has helped me tremendously with energetic healing, and in addition to being kind and caring, she's truly a master at her craft. Both Ashley and her Growing Whole practice in Kitsilano are gems of the neighbourhood!

-Monica, Business Development Manager 2021

I've been suffering from insomnia and chronic anxiety for several years now and have struggled to find a grounded and balanced base line. Ashley has been such an integral part of my healing from intense, deep-rooted physical and emotional trauma. I've finally been able to start getting really good sleep since seeing Ashley. Each session is nothing short of transformational! I'm looking forward to my next session with her!

-Resh, Float Spa Manager 2020

My experiences with Ashley have been incredibly healing. I first saw Ashley for reiki and experienced a profoundly positive effect on my anxiety. Since my original series of treatments, I continue to seek Ashley's support whenever I need a "tune up" for the last couple of years.
I had my first craniosacral therapy experience with Ashley just recently. After suffering from an injury, I have dealt with chronic pain for the last 1.5 years and undergone many different types of treatment but not found significant relief. After my first treatment with Ashley I felt a great release at the injured area allowing me a greater range of motion with less pain. Additionally, over the next couple of days I continued to feel the positive effects in other areas.
Ashley is a kind, caring and supportive practitioner who will make you feel at ease. Her treatments are deeply relaxing and healing and I always look forward to them. I highly recommend her.

-Koko, Massage Spa Manager 2020

I feel incredibly grateful to have found Ashley and experience Craniosacral therapy, Reiki. Ashley's treatment helped promote healing from a back injury as well as healing from emotional trauma and compassion fatigue. Her flexible and caring approach helped reduce feelings of overwhelm and ensure I stay on my healing journey. If you want to de-stress, heal and improve your wellbeing she will help you.

-Dimity, Occupational Therapist 2020

Ashley is, and I don't say this by any means lightly, a miracle worker. I suffer chronic pain and regular headaches as a result of a traumatic injury six years ago, and until coming to Growing Whole found no respite from any variety of treatments, all across the spectrum of experimentally. After a single 90 minute session I felt amazing, but the true miracle was when I woke up the next morning free of any malese or pain for the first time since my accident. Ashley has restored my physical quality of life. If you have the slightest inclination craniosacral therapy might work for you, it is well worth giving a shot.

I have to admit that I was a little bit skeptical about whether craniosacral could help me, especially after having a negative experience with a different practitioner. But I'm so glad I gave it another chance—Ashley works magic!

-Rio, Service Industry 2019

Ashley made me feel completely comfortable, safe, and supported. She communicated with me clearly about what I could expect from the session and answered all my questions. I came to the session in a lot of pain due to an intense migraine. Not much helps when I'm in the middle of a migraine, but cranial did! As Ashely worked on me, my whole body relaxed more and more. My muscles began to release and my body felt like it was melting. I experienced a deep and profound sense of stillness, calm, and relaxation.

At the end of the session I was so refreshed and felt like I'd just had a full body massage. My debilitating migraine had lessened to a minor headache, and I was ready to take on the day.

I strongly recommend Ashley for anyone with migraines, chronic pain, chronic stress, or for anyone going through a difficult life change. She has a beautiful energy and presence and will nurture your body's ability to heal.

-Larissa, Yoga Teacher 2018

Completing an Intensive with Ashley was life changing for me. I highly recommend her services. I have now hired her as my personal wellness consultant and the changes that have happened in my life throughout this year are postiviley unbelievable. Thank you Ashley!

- Crystal, Account Executive 2018

Craniosacral Therapy with Ashley Eden has been a healing experience for myself and my infant daughter. While pregnant, the treatments reduced anxiety and helped to manage morning sickness. My daughter’s digestion improved, and she has maintained a calm demeanour and regular sleep schedule since she began therapy with Ashley. I highly recommend this unique and effective service for both moms and babies.

- Jesi, Designer 2018

Receiving craniosacral therapy from Ashley is an incredibly nurturing and relaxing experience. She has a very sensitive, compassionate and caring approach, and a strong intuition about the body combined with an excellent communication style that puts me at ease and makes me feel informed about what she is doing as she treats me. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is curious about craniosacral therapy and would like to experience its deep relaxation benefits.

-Lindsay, Educational Manager 2018

After a session with Ashley a deep sense of calm washes over me and I am able to find the strength to have the tough conversations.

-Merima, Energy Executive 2018

A session with Ashley is comparable to being hooked up to a morphine drip.

-Shannon , Financial Executive 2017

Before seeing Ashley for craniosacral therapy I suffered from intense migraines up to 5 times a week. I was considering taking extreme invasive measures for relief and instead decided to try a session with Ashley. After only two sessions with Ashley my migraines decreased in severity and frequency going from up to 5 a week to only 2-3 over a three-week period. I also slept better felt more rested and myself. I would highly recommend anyone suffering from migraines to see Ashley for craniosacral therapy.

-Rolanda, Professional Hair Colourlist, 2016

I have been a client of Ashley’s for several years. As a mother of four children and running a very successful consulting practice Ashley has been my refuge in calming down my busy brain. After a session, my mind is clearer, I am able to gain perspective, I feel re-energized and centred. Having regular sessions has benefited me when dealing with challenging mental and emotional situations. I would highly recommend Ashley and her craniosacral abilities.

-Janet, Executive Consultant 2016

Dealing with major stress, anxiety, and depression from overwhelming responsibilities and undervalued achievements at work, along with personal relationship issues, someone recommended that I visit Ashley in Vancouver for a series of sessions. After just receiving my first treatment my anxiety decreased significantly, so much so that I could not remember the last time I felt that centred and relieved mentally. I would highly recommend Ashley to my, friends, family members, colleagues and corporate professionals in dealing with stress, anxiety and depression.

-Daniel, Financial Manager 2016

When Ashley first talked to me about craniosacral therapy, I was curious but not really expecting much... But after just one session with Ashley, I felt re-energized and much more limber (a two-week old kink in my neck was suddenly gone). It was such a calming and relaxing experience - it felt like I had slept for hours. Here is the interesting part... since I've had my first session, I'm sleeping much better & longer! And yes, my neck is still kink-free!!

Call Ashley. She is an expert in this stuff. But her true gift is her soothing and nurturing mannerism that'll take you on an amazing healing ride and return you safely back 'home'.

-Sam, Financial Planner 2016

I learned about craniosacral therapy through a friend, who had received some therapy from Ashley. She raved about how she felt like a new person and how it had helped her on many different levels. At the time I had been under some stress at work and having dizzy spells, which was uncommon for me. I decided to book an appointment, even though I didn’t really understand how it worked. I appreciated that during my first session Ashley explained what craniosacral therapy was and also took the time to get to know me and my history. The most immediate thing I noticed was a deep relaxation. As I continued with the sessions, chronic neck pain that I had suffered with for years began to melt away. I felt my body was in a healthier state and I always felt reenergized after every session. I also started to notice a new inner peace and confidence within me. I am very grateful to Ashley for getting my body and mental state to a more optimal and balanced place. I highly recommend Ashley for craniosacral therapy.

-Elena, Communications Specialist 2014

I wanted to thank you for our session last week. After I saw you, there has been quite the shift for me, primarily with how I view and value myself. Towards the end of our session I started seeing what I can do for and give to myself to meet my own needs instead of feeling lost, helpless, and overwhelmed.

I now feel like my goals are possible to achieve. Thank you!

-Ania, Yoga Teacher 2014

After working with Ashley for 4 months I've noticed an ability to see things and deal with things in a more positive way. I've noticed a growing ability to see myself and my abilities /characteristics in a much more positive light. I have been able to really appreciate the time I spend alone instead of seeing it as a negative thing. I have been able to attract a lot of wonderful things and experiences into my life because of this work.

-Katie, Special Needs Teacher 2014

I saw Ashley for four sessions of craniosacral therapy. The sessions themselves were extremely relaxing and the results were significant. I had suffered from IBS for most of my life and after working with Ashley my symptoms declined dramatically. I would highly recommend Ashley to other people suffering from IBS or in need of rest, relaxation and care.”
