Ashley Tomasino has changed my life in so many positive ways! I am 2 months in to an apprenticeship program with Ashley as my teacher and I feel happier and more connected than I ever have in life. She is a powerful healer not only in acupuncture, but through her drumming, singing, guided mediation, and retreats. I highly HIGHLY recommend her, she truly brings out my best self. -SB
Every session I had with Ashley was an absolutely unique experience and a portray of how much one person can be committed to providing best care and healing for her clients. She is the only holistic therapist I know in San Diego that is so thorough and in depth with her healing. She is very knowledgeable, very educated and experienced and that definitely shows. SHe was actually able to help me resolve a major issue I went to see her for! -BR
Ashley is a rock star! Her approach with shamanic healing is empowering in a way that other therapies don't quite achieve. I'm an acupuncturist myself and have loved experiencing Shamanic healing for myself and to integrate into my own practice. Since working with her as an apprentice, my spiritual practice has deepened. I'm more self-aware, self-loving and totally ready to take on the world. My creativity has opened up andI'm taking my healing path to whole new level, which is really inspiring for me. Ashley deeply and sincerely cares about her clients. She is committed and passionate about both the Shamanic healing traditions and Chinese medicine, as well as to supporting her patients to becoming the best versions of themselves. She will see your incredible potential and get you to see and fulfill it yourself. -HB
I'm ever sooo grateful to Ashley for having helped me transform darkness into light. Her dedication and commitment to her practice have been of great inspiration to me. She truly 'walk-the-talk', and that's what makes her a special practitioner. The unique combination of chinese medicine, native american shamanism, and the most compassionate soothing heart, gives her an infinite amount of tools in addressing deep rooted issues that were creating imbalance in my life. She's been so life changing for me that I keep referring people I love to her. Thank you so much for caring!!! -GS
I would highly recommend Dr. Ashley for both acupuncture and shamanic healing. I have also attended several of her workshops and am impressed with her level of knowledge. Am looking forward to learning more about myself and the healing process with her gentle guidance!! -KK
Ashley's approach to healing is smart. She looks at the whole picture, and then uses a variety of tools and techniques to bear. So you won't get "just an acupuncturist", or "Just an herbalist". I really appreciate that approach because everything is connected. She seems to focus on curing the cause than just alleviating symptoms. Her's is a rare and dearly needed approach to health.
I"m pretty healthy, so I don't need her services very often. She has done wonders for my wife's back pains this year. Plus I have referred family and friend to her over the years to help them with life's aches and pains. And all have been very happy with her.
My wife mentioned that she really appreciates being treated by a female, as a female. Ashley has a very calming, soothing, focused approach to her work. She makes my wife feel safe to talk, to share pain, and to give Ash the information that she needs. It is very refreshing. -RL
I've done therapy, meditation, reiki, the whole works. While these have all been useful, a single session of shamanic healing with Ashley changed my internal world in a completely different way. I feel like I'm working on the root of my issues, whereas therapy and meditation are more like tools for processing. I can't quite put into words the profound difference that it's made for me, but it's a definite shift in how I think and feel. The things that I felt were blocking me and weighing me down are gone. I appreciate the after-effect as well, that deeper issues subsequently come up and since Ashley had given me tools during our session, I can find resolution for myself. Her guidance and follow-up after the session are so helpful.
If you find yourself drawn to her, if you're reading this, just book a session and see what comes up. You'll be very glad you did. -CC

Ashley is the real deal! She has a very clean and professional practice. When it comes to her shamanic work, she works within the shamanic realm to help remove & bring light to the blockages that hold you back from your true potential. I felt she helped me integrate & ground the shamanic experience in a practical and useful way. I felt there were no bells and whistles but rather "this is what I am seeing, and this is what can help" (very straight forward) which I love! Would definitely work with her again because her energy is clean & very balanced :-) -AR
Dr. Ashley Tomasino is amazing she doesn't just do massages she is specialized in the biomedical study of the body. My neck and shoulders were hurting immensely. Ashley, really knows how to connect to the wounded part and heal. I was impressed by her getting right to the root of the problem. Out of 100's of massages I have had in the past, I have never experienced such relaxation, and feeling that one actually cared about the tenseness in my body. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone! -RR
Ashley seems to work from a place of source in her intuitive shamanic healings. I was instantly able to relax and trust her - she just makes you laugh and then you can't help but be present and drop in naturally with the process she guides you through. After our session, I felt renewed and grounded in myself so much so it was easier to breathe. It is no wonder why she is doing this great work and I feel blessed she's in my life. -SR
I recently got to experience Ashley's shamanic prowess and I have to say she made a believer out of me. She somehow was able to describe people and events from my past that there was no possible way she could have known them, and she was spot on accurate. The entire experience was both interesting and insightful. I highly recommend her. -RB
I attended Shamanic Journeying work shop and I was very impressed with her knowledge and passion for the content she shared. I have also received healing work and massage from Ashley and highly recommend her services. She sincerely cares about helping and healing people and it comes through in her work. -JL
I can't thank Ashley enough for the help she's given me. I'm not one to yelp a lot but if your reading this review get in contact with her and you'll understand why -AV
What words can I possibly find to sum up the beautiful soul Ashley is... Well she is highly passionate and that shines through. I've never felt so comfortable and vulnerable and beautiful and free all at the same time. She is a a true intuitive healer and her treatments always fix whatever is going on in my life. And somehow seem to pull things out of me that I never knew was there or never wanted to say it out loud. She is so easy to talk to and her sessions always come with zero judgment. Not to mention she is funny as hell and it brings a great aspect in. If you are lost/need a pick me up/need some grounding/ or... pretty much you should just go to her so your life can be blessed even more. I am so happy I started going to Ashley. Best thing I've done in a long time. Thank you Ashley and to whomever is reading this (get your butt into Ashley's office - stat, you won't be sorry) -CL
I've had the pleasure of working alongside Ashley at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine. As an Acupuncture practitioner she is personable, caring, and an easy person to talk to. Her treatments are always unique and insightful. Her comprehensive knowledge in massage therapy, shamanism, acupuncture, and counseling, makes her a true jack of all holistic trades. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to make a spiritual/healing change in their life. -JN
Ashley is such a gifted healer. I have seen her several times to help uncover and release issues that were getting in the way of my health and happiness. She is extremely present, a great listener, and her intuition has always been spot on. I have always left our sessions feeling clearer, validated in how and why I am experiencing what I am experiencing, and with sound "homework" for breaking down blocks to my growth and fulfillment. I highly recommend Ashley if you have questions about where you are in life and how to get where you want to be. -JH
Thank you Ashley! After our session I went home feeling like something big had happened--and since so much of it took place on a dimension beyond the mind or any logical "Western" understanding--I had a hard time putting it into words. Walking with my partner, later that evening, all I could say was, "That session with Ashley was really interesting." The next day, I woke up feeling great. It felt like everything that was ready for healing in my life had been addressed and integrated, and I was ready to move forward with more energy, focus, and clarity than ever before. Most importantly, I felt a deeper love for myself. That's the beauty of working with old, buried childhood pain. It has a subtle yet profound influence on daily life, and yet modern culture does very little to support this kind of processing. I am so appreciate of Ashley's skill and understanding in bringing this stuff to the surface. What a blessing! -GT
Ashley is the bomb! I have found comfort in her warmth, trust in her professionalism, strength in her confidence, love in her heart, and mySelf with her guidance. She is an absolutely extraordinary being whose shamanic practice brings lightness to the heavy hearted, and sense into our sometime senseless-seeming world. We keep regular contact and she remains an empowering mentor to me a year after my physical attendance in her private sessions and Intro to Shamanism class. I recommend her to any and all, it is incalculable the degree of benefit i feel from our relationship... And shes funny as hell! -AW
I had my first experience with Ashley and her shamanistic medicine practice earlier this year, and I can say that I was really impressed! It's hard to describe the inner turmoil that a person can collect over a lifetime of disconnection, but as Ashley worked with me to help delve into my core, spiritual self, I felt a burden lift from my heart that had been in place for much longer than I'd like to admit. I'll go back and work with Ashley again--she has talent and a true gift. -NH
Ashley is a very intuitive and beautiful spirit. Just being around her has me feeling relaxed and in a good place before we even begin our session. She's great about explaining what she is going to do, and her knowledge base covers a broad array of treatments including chiropractic training, acupuncture, massage therapy, counseling and shamanism. Ashley is a great means for wholistic health and fantastic if you're ever feeling lost or need guidance. Highly recommend!!! -EW
