About Me

Heather Ashley

BA BSc DippMAR  ·  Holistic Therapist  ·  Carmarthenshire

Hello, I'm Heather

I'm a holistic therapist based in Ammanford, Carmarthenshire, and I work with touch-based therapies that centre on a person's energy field, the healing relationship and our connection with everything around us.

I believe that complementary therapies can help people find balance and connect with their best self — by allowing time to focus on achievable changes they can make in their lives. Clients have told me that their treatments have provided space to break specific negative cycles, as well as offering real symptomatic relief.

I'm also a retreat therapist, working with Stables Wellbeing and Meddwl Coed Writing Retreats.

My approach

I provide a professional, caring and person-centred approach. Every session begins with questions about your general health and history — so the treatment and environment can be tailored completely to your needs, enabling you to fully relax and unwind.

To keep you comfortable I use a range of cushions, blankets and towels. Please do let me know if you have any tactile sensitivities or sensory considerations I should be aware of — I want every session to feel right for you.

What to Expect

Your first session

All treatments are carried out fully clothed — there's no need to undress for any session. I'll ask you to remove your shoes and, where possible, loose comfortable clothing helps, though it's never essential.

Before we begin I'll ask about your general health and medical history so the treatment can be tailored to you. Everything is handled with complete confidentiality and in accordance with data protection policies.

Please note that some health conditions are contraindicated for certain treatments — for example, Deep Vein Thrombosis. If you have any concerns, please get in touch before booking and I'll advise honestly on what's right for you.
