"Bodhi has a sensitive, healing presence and a grounded touch.
I experience his work as 'medicine' and many times I have been transformed on his table.”
- Jennifer Berezan

“Amy reads my body well and gives an intense deep massage. She'll untangle these nasty ropes of tension with a direct and strong touch. This usually results in my feet hitting the ground right and the top of my head a few inches higher.”
- Joe Fitzgerald

What we are about

The name True Nature Massage is derived from the notion that touch connects us to our original divine nature. Just as dandelions spring forth from tired concrete, exposing the true nature of the planet, massage and bodywork breaks through armor held in the body- armor that imprisons our true nature, which is health and vitality.

Bodhi and Amy Ashburn co-creators of True Nature Massage & Body Work strive to make a positive impact by chipping away at this armor via Massage and Body Work. They understand that individual health impacts the collective health and thus the planets health.

Bodhi Ashburn
Bodhi has been practicing massage and bodywork since 1995. His interest in bodywork was inspired by being a care giver to a paralyzed child. By observing and participating in various bodywork sessions given to the child, Bodhi had the fortunate opportunity of witnessing first hand the power of touch. Since that time, he brings this inspiration to a table or mat by practicing Thai Massage (Nuad Bo Rarn), Deep Tissue, Reflexology, Swedish, and Cranio Sacral therapies.

Bodhi has been a Certified Massage Therapist for 12 years and was an Instructor for the National Holistic Institute in Emeryville for 7 years. He has received training in Thai massage from Chonkhal Settakorn in Chiang Mai, Thailand and personal Thai instruction from MaMa Lon in Pai, Thailand. Additionally, he has received formal training in Cranio Sacral therapy with the Upledger Institute.
