I’ve been using the new Ashley Black NeXcia tool on clients during sessions and on myself for the past few months, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.

Clients love the combination of red light therapy, soothing heat, and the unique feel of the two interchangeable heads. Many describe it as taking their session to the next level, helping muscles and fascia relax more deeply and creating an overall sense of “meltiness” that lasts beyond the appointment.

As a massage therapist, I’m always looking for ways to enhance results and improve the client experience. This tool has become a valuable addition to the sessions I already customize with a variety of techniques to support recovery, mobility, relaxation, and overall wellness.

Have you experienced red light therapy or heated fascial work before? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Questions I am often asked:

* Do you massage men or just women?
* Do you massage students or teens?
* Do you massage the face and head?
* Do you work on glutes?
* Do you work on pecs, abs or inner thighs?

The answer is simple:

I provide therapeutic bodywork for anyone who can benefit from it.

I work all muscle groups within professional, legal, and ethical boundaries.

Your comfort, safety, and goals are always the priority. Areas not being worked on remain securely draped, and every session is customized to your specific needs.

If you’re ever unsure whether I work on a particular area or condition, just ask. Open communication is an important part of creating the best session for you.

Some days you need pain relief, improved mobility, and targeted stretching.

Some days you need to relax and unwind with a massage.

Some days, you need a little bit of everything.

Each session is customized to meet your unique needs, goals, and how your body is feeling that day. No two sessions are exactly alike because no two people, or days, are exactly alike.

All sessions are performed on a vibroacoustic table and are all-inclusive. Depending on your needs, your session may incorporate a variety of techniques, including cupping, focused breathing, heat and/or cold therapy, essential oils, stretching, and personalized recommendations for continued care between appointments.

A full-body session includes attention to the face, scalp, neck, shoulders, chest, abdomen, glutes, arms, hands, legs, and feet—allowing for a truly comprehensive approach to relaxation, recovery, and overall well-being.

Coaching Tip:

Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or like you’re stuck on the hamster wheel of life?

If so, give yourself a little time and space. Step outside in nature, curl up in a comfy chair, or find any peaceful place where you can simply be.

Solitude is oxygen. You can’t fully process your own needs and emotions if you’re constantly submerged in everyone else’s.

We need daily moments alone. Not to fix, serve, or pray for everyone around us, but to simply be.

Silence creates space.
Space to breathe, to think clearly, to untangle your soul from the noise of the world.

Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish. It’s one of the healthiest things you can do. When you care for yourself well, you’re able to care for the people you love from a place of peace instead of burnout or resentment.

If you’re ready to walk through life changes with more intentionality, create healthier habits, and learn how to speak to yourself with more kindness and grace, I’d love to walk alongside you.

Let’s talk touch.

Humans were created for connection… mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

There was a famous study in the mid 1950s by Harry Harlow involving baby monkeys where the infants were provided food and their physical survival needs were met, but those deprived of comfort and nurturing touch suffered severe emotional distress, developmental issues, and some even died. The study was heartbreaking, but it highlighted something important:

We are not designed to survive on basic necessities alone.
We need connection.
We need comfort.
We need safe touch.

As a society, especially here in the United States, we have become increasingly disconnected from healthy physical affection. Touch has become so overs*xualized that nearly every interaction is scrutinized:
“Is this appropriate?”
“Will this be misunderstood?”
“Will this trigger someone?”
“Will people assume something?”

Because of that, safe, kind, non-s*xual touch is severely lacking in our culture.

Both women and men suffer from this absence, but I honestly think men may suffer even more. Platonic touch between men is often viewed as “weird,” uncomfortable, or immediately s*xualized. Even receiving nurturing touch can feel foreign for many people.

Massage therapy creates an opportunity to experience safe, therapeutic, non-s*xual touch in an environment designed for relaxation, healing, and nervous system regulation.

This is not just important for people who are single, widowed, or living alone.

There are many people in marriages and relationships where touch only happens when s*x is expected, desired, or initiated. Sometimes people stop experiencing affection for the simple purpose of comfort, care, closeness, and connection.

A hug.
A cuddle.
A hand on your back.
A scalp massage.
Playful wrestling.
Holding hands.
Playing with someone’s hair.
Resting your head on someone’s shoulder.

Non-s*xual affection matters too.

Do you have people in your life where you regularly experience safe, comforting, non-s*xual touch and affection?
Is this one benefit you recognize receiving from massage in addition to pain relief and relaxation?
