About ME

Ashley Grandkoski, L.Ac., LMT, Reiki Master

A spiritually-curious being by nature, my practice as an acupuncturist led me into the more energetic and spiritual dimensions of healing, including Reiki, energy reading and shamanism. Years of training, practice (personal and professional) and self-study have further informed my approach and the many modalities that I bring to each session. Years of chronic illness (Lyme) have also taken me on a deep and ongoing soul initiation that has been more thorough and intense than any training could have been. These lived experiences gave me an intimate knowledge of the unique physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual challenges that come with chronic illness, as well as a profound understanding of hormone and nervous system dysregulation. As a mother of two, a perimenopausal women myself, and an acupuncturist who specialized for many years in supporting the transition to motherhood, I am also very familiar with the unique symptoms and challenges pregnancy, postpartum, parenting and menopause bring to a woman’s life.

As a new earth creator, I am also very passionate about remembering the deeply human approaches to life that create meaning and belonging (practices like ceremony, singing, storytelling, connecting with nature and rites of passage), and building the new systems of education, health, community and exchange that support a better life for us all. I participate in, host and DJ dance and ceremony, help run a nature school, have home-schooled/alternatively schooled my children and believe in the simplest healing methods (such as natural light, real food, clean environments and supportive community) as the most powerful ways to find wellness. I am particularly passionate about Fusion partner dancing and love the connection, awareness and depth it brings to my life.

Why my approach is unique


I bring the energetic and spiritual dimensions of healing and root it into the practical.
