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.

-Michelle, Lawyer 2021

Ashley is a gifted and highly skilled practitioner, both with cranial sacral work and with Reiki. Her capacity to create and hold space with professionalism, integrity, care and compassion is unrivalled. I have experienced cranial sacral work with others and there simply is no comparison. Ashley has been an exceptional support for my nervous system and I am most grateful to her.

-Katherine, Clinical Counsellor 2021

Ashley is very gifted in her field. I do not know how she does it, but I feel so impacted by her sessions. Her techniques really shift me and help to get over my aches and pains. And she is lovely, friendly, professional and a delight! I highly recommend her.

-Lori, Massage Spa Owner 2021

I am grateful to Ashley for the healing and change I experience from her craniosacral treatments. Ashley creates a safe and supportive space for the entire person to be witnessed, treated, and healed. Ashley’s presence and therapeutic work are both gentle and powerful. I strongly recommend connecting with Ashley to experience this unique and transformative nervous system and whole human care.

-Rebecca, 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 and distance Reiki. Ashley's treatment has 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 insure 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

I started working with Ashley at the beginning of March 2020 for Craniosacral Therapy. At the time I was dealing with a very intense traumatic personal issue in my life and I was in a desperate need of touch and self-care. After a few Craniosacral Sessions together, Ashley suggested I try some Reiki work. I had not experienced Reiki healing and was skeptical. But I was willing to try anything at this point and so we had one in person Reiki session before the COVD-19 closures in mid March. This in-person Reiki session was life changing for me.

Then COVID-19 bans were put in place and all in person work ceased. Ashley reached out and explained she had extensive experience providing distance Reiki to her clients. Again I was skeptical of this work being done online and from a distance. But I was open and desperate to help myself settle and heal. The distance Reiki session was exactly what I needed. I could not believe how this modality was able to support me in dealing with and healing this traumatic experience I was processing. Since our first distance session together I continue to see Ashley weekly online.

Ashley’s time, care and attention to detail continues to go above and beyond my expectations. I don’t ever feel rushed to come out of my sessions with her and I genuinely feel cared for by her. She clearly has strong technical skills and knowledge for all her modalities she administers.

In our distance Reiki sessions together, I am put at ease and gently facilitated into a deep state of relaxation and healing. I have not experienced anything else like this in my past or present that has helped me heal.

Ashley has saved me emotionally, physically and mentally through one of the hardest times in my life right now and during this COVID-19 crisis. I always look forward to being with her because my experience with her has consistently bettered me as a person. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone needing some deep healing and care.

-Julie, Documentary Film Director 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

Ashely’s Craniosacral Therapy....Unbelievable!

Since moving to Vancouver in 2018, I frequently visit Growing Whole to partake in Ashley’s Craniosacral work. Her magical touch creates an ecosystem of deep relaxation, release and euphoric energy.
I can not speak highly enough of the incredible work Ashley has cultivated through her practice and how it has aided me in not only processing and becoming more present with grief, uncertainty and now onwards to motivation!
- JR, Innovator 2018

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

After a serious motorcycle accident and head trauma I got in contact with Ashley for her professional help. Through a series of treatments I found two distinct different changes in my symptoms; my pain and my neurological symptoms drastically lessened. I continue today to find relief in Ashley's care with occasional treatments. I have a renewed appreciation for craniosacral therapy and am grateful for Ashley's intuitive treatment.

- Ian, Massage Therapist 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

Due to a sports related injury I have dealt with chronic upper back and head problems. The multi-hands treatment from Ashley provided me great relief and helped me to function in my daily life. It was a deeply healing and relaxing experience for both the mind and body. Two sets of hands gave me a more full body sensation. I highly recommend multi-hands craniosacral treatment whether for recovery from an injury, managing pain, or simply maintaining health.

- Kai, Professional Hockey Player 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.”
