Meet Susanne Ashland LMT, CCST
Craniosacral Therapy - Integrative Massage
Healing Path Craniosacral was born out of my desire to work from the inside out, interacting with the intelligence in the body and building on the foundation of Fabulous Massage Seattle, the business I started in 2005.
I am committed to your health. We travel that healing path together. Touch, knowledge, experience, and intuition are my tools. Your body knows what it needs; I listen to the spoken — and the unspoken — and invite healing on all levels.

*Note: I am currently scheduling a month in advance in Seattle. If you need care sooner, I invite you to consider my Bainbridge Island studio, a lovely 35-minute ferry trip away (built-in "me" time before and after your session). While on the island, enjoy a stroll through Winslow, forest bathe at the nearby Bloedel Reserve, or search for Bainbridge Island's troll, Pia the Peacekeeper.

Longer appointments available upon arrangement in advance; add $27 per 15-minute increment.

Safety During Covid-19
With much consideration and preparation, I have instituted a variety of Covid-19 safety protocols. Let's stay safe!
My Approach
I practice integrative massage — with a Craniosacral focus — that may include any or all of the following: fascial unwinding, intra-oral techniques, swedish massage, trigger point, and more.
"Susanne has a gift. She not only has a thorough intellectual knowledge of the human body, she has a deep, intuitive understanding. She senses your pain and troubles through her fingertips, and applies the perfect level of therapy to help you feel better and improve your health."
- M. R.
What to Expect...
Please wear or bring loose-fitting clothing to your appointment; this is best for craniosacral therapy. If I have you disrobe for massage, please be assured that you’ll always be draped with a sheet so only the area being worked on is uncovered. Planning some unhurried "You" time after your session may help you transition to the rest of your day. You are welcome to remain in the waiting area until you feel ready to leave.
Our session will begin with a conversation. We will discuss your general health, areas of concern, and what results you're hoping for. I listen to what you tell me and observe how your body moves during this initial evaluation. After your session, I'll check in to hear to how you feel and will share my observations.
I invite you to speak up at any time during our session regarding temperature, pressure, positioning, pain, or any kind of discomfort. Your communication and participation is vital to your treatment.
Client Partnership
My clients are invested in their wellbeing and seek self-knowledge; they are active participants in their treatment.
In return, I bring all my tools to each session; intuition, compassion, respect, knowledge, creativity, professionalism, and twenty-three years of experience. I am dedicated to your health, and I expect the same of you. We go on this journey together.
Before Your First Visit...
I schedule a longer first visit (for the same price), so we can discuss your full health history and goals for treatment.
I ask that you complete these forms and bring them with you to your first appointment:
