welcome
intuitive unwinding
therapeutic bodywork
We are living in an overstimulated world…
where we tend to become very disconnected
from our bodies and each other.
It is my goal to provide a supportive environment in which you can relax, unwind, and re-inhabit your body in this present moment.
These sessions foster a holistic and therapeutic unwinding,
grounding into the body, releasing tensions,
and smoothing any stuck energies or holding patterns.
I work intuitively, using an integrative approach combining
Table Thai, Deep Tissue, Myofascial Unwinding,
Herbal Oil Massage, Craniosacral / Reiki, and Sound Healing,
Table is heated with a jade/amethyst/tourmaline infrared mat.
Hot Stone Massage and Sarga Bodywork coming soon!
At the heart of my work is an intention to connect directly with life, to bring consciousness into forgotten places, and to open the channels of our bodies so that Life Force can flow freely.
Let us Ground into this Now Moment and
Remember our True Nature.
Harnessing the Healing Power of Plants.
Do you feel more like yourself when you’re in nature? I sure do.
Herbs and Plant Allies have helped me and continue to help me immensely on this Life Journey. That is why I use my handcrafted herbal oils in my massage practice, it just takes the healing benefits of massage to a deeper level. I also craft various extracts, body butters, salves, and tallow balms. All in small batches with care and intention. At this moment in time, my creations are available at Elder Apothecary in Ashland, or directly from me!

about
With a background rich in theatre, dance, and music, my path as a healer was ignited by my own journey with chronic pain and health issues. Born Kristen Adele, I was given the medicine name Willow River during a potent time in my life.
I studied at the Samadhi Center for Yoga in 2009 and continued on to the Living Arts Massage and Bodywork School in 2010, both in Colorado. Some of my continued education trainings include Yin Yoga, Reiki/Embodied Lightwork, Craniosacral, Breema, Thai, Herbalism & Ayurveda.
I taught yoga classes regularly from 2009-2016. I have been practicing massage therapy since 2011, and have been offering massage in Ashland since the spring of 2016. My work now is an intuitive weaving of everything I have learned, and it continues to evolve. With a deep passion for helping others come into their own aliveness, I continue to learn and develop my methods for effective healing for my clients.
