Hi everyone! I'm Ashley, owner of Roots of Rose Bodywork. I am so glad you found your way to my website and my practice.

The name Roots of Rose was inspired by my great grandmother, Rose Gove. She has planted deep roots for her family after to her to continue to flourish as she has. At 90 years old she will still pamper you as she always has. Many of my sessions come with pampering, and I will continue to add self-care services as my business grows.

The rose, for me, also symbolizes the journey toward inner peace. After having met the long stems with thorns, you are rewarded with a beautiful flower with mesmerizing fragrances. Roses act as a metaphor for life: After overcoming difficulty, you will find inner harmony, union, and happiness.

Let me help you overcome life’s difficulties. Whether it be muscle aches and pains, migraines, difficulty sleeping, stress, anxiety, the list goes on.. I’m here to help!

I am currently a student at Zardus School of Massage and will be graduating in May 2023. I found my way to massage school after working in many different settings, predominantly in the mental health field. I have my Bachelor's Degree in Health Sciences. I have worked as a Behavioral Health Professional, Ed Tech III, and a Children's Case Manager. Most recently I was a daycare teacher, then was able to enjoy some time as a stay-at-home-mom - one of the toughest jobs I've endured!

My year in massage school was truly a transformative time. I learned the immense importance of self-care and self-love. I learned how to work with my own energy as well as others'. I learned how to inspire healing through different modalities of bodywork. My mission is to share all that I've learned with those who wish to receive it.
