A Root Cause Approach

We believe deeply in the body’s ability to heal itself. When you are having symptoms, these are signals from your body letting you know that something is blocking your innate healing from happening. By getting crystal clear on your patterns, we can craft a clear path to change.

We use a proven combination of acupuncture, herbalism, and lifestyle therapies to address blockages and help your body heal on the deepest level. We give you a treatment plan with all the tools you need to address the root cause and get you back on the path to healing.

As your symptoms shift and resolve, we monitor and adjust our treatments and recommendations. Once you’re feeling great, we make sure you’re stable and send you off with a long-term plan to stay that way.

I was able to be vulnerable and honest with Ashley right away...

“I was able to be vulnerable and honest with Ashley right away, which made my acupuncture session really incredible. Ashley is calm, welcoming, empathetic, and very easy to understand. She is exactly what you want to be around when you want this experience. Thank you!”

-Emily

I am very pleased with the deep healing and increased energy...

“I am seeing Ashley for acupuncture and herbal treatments regularly. In just 3 treatments my symptoms are resolving and I feel better. She is fully present and takes the time to listen to me at each appointment. Her healing presence, years of experience and knowledge of the healing arts is bringing my body into harmony and wholeness. I am very pleased with the deep healing and increased energy. May you and your loved ones receive blessings upon blessings. Thank you, Ashley.“

-Harmony

Ashley not only listens to your concerns but to your body as well...

“Ashley not only listens to your concerns but to your body as well. Last visit I had a cold that was gone within 24 hours of treatment. A relaxing environment and a soothing treatment. I love her recommendations of herbs upon leaving each visit. I highly recommend! Today Ashley got out a knot in my shoulder that has been affecting my range of motion with her magic needles. She is the best!“

-Lori S

Ashley is a wonderful acupuncturist...I appreciate every single visit I have with her...

“Ashley is a wonderful acupuncturist. She is a great listener, and is very focused and technique driven during her session. When coming to see her you definitely feel that she is really actively finding all the pieces of the puzzle and working through them so you get the best results. I appreciate every single visit I have with her.

Regular sessions with her have helped my acne, anxiety, stress, menstrual cycle, and best of all- sleep! Most of my life I’ve spent tossing and turning, waking up every few hours. I now sleep much more soundly, consistently. I highly recommend!”

-Kat A

You must do this. It can be life changing!

“Ashley is excellent at what she does. She is professional, knowledgeable, clear and compassionate. I have tried several types of bodywork in my life, and I very strongly recommend Shiatsu with Ashley. I chose to do a series of Shiatsu sessions to get my body and mind off to the right start. So I did one session every week for 4 weeks, and then moved to one session a month to maintain. It is worth the money, and in fact, is a bargain considering how much my life has changed since I first tried Shiatsu. I noticed immediate and huge benefits following the very first session, and in each session afterwards. Some key benefits I noticed were: immediate and long-term relief from TMJ (I had surgery for jaw clenching, and this is a severe issue for me), decreased stress levels, better focus on my work and personal goals, a balanced overall feeling of wellness and happiness, increased circulation, and a huge increase in flexibility in my shoulders, back, hips and legs. You must do this. It can be life changing! Especially if you look at it as investment in your health and future!“

-Laura H

Every time I leave her office I feel completely relieved of my stress and ailments...

“I’ve gone to Ashley Flores for acupuncture on a regular basis.  Every time I leave her office I feel completely relieved of my stress and ailments.  She has helped relieve my back pain, stomach pain, female “issues” and the stress brought on by my every day life.   Ashley is extremely calming in her nature, she asks thorough questions and has a way of making me feel very relaxed.  Extremely professional with a caring nature.“

-Stephanie M

My Shiatsu session with Ashley yesterday was simply amazing...

“My Shiatsu session with Ashley yesterday was simply amazing. I still feel the effects of it. Today, I feel free in my own body; I feel free of pain. I feel taller, looser and in general, much happier and stress free. Additionally, I can feel muscles I haven’t felt in years, and have regained flexibility. I have already booked another appointment, as I see Shiatsu as a way to create real and permanent change in my body, and improve my overall health. Don’t hesitate. Work with Ashley NOW.“

-LD

The acupuncture itself was amazing and my body felt like it was in another world...

“Ashley is extremely knowledgeable and I immediately felt like I could really open up to her. I was not rushed at all and she followed up with me after a few days. The acupuncture itself was amazing and my body felt like it was in another world – if you’re interested in Acupuncture definitely see Ashley.“

-LP

I will absolutely be returning to Ashley at Four Flowers Wellness!

“I really enjoyed my first acupuncture experience. Ashley has a calm, knowledgable way about her that made me feel comfortable. The consultation was not rushed, it felt like she was truly absorbing my history and goals. I didn’t immediately feel a “change” that I can describe, but as days go by I feel tension patterns dissipating, which is thrilling. I will absolutely be returning to Ashley at Four Flowers Wellness!.“

Our Tools

Couple with sonogram

Acupuncture

This ancient healing art employs hair-thin needles that are placed at precise points throughout the body to increase blood flow, regulate the nervous system, restore hormonal balance, alleviate patterns of tension, and relieve pain. Our clients report that acupuncture is not only comfortable, but very relaxing as well!

Functional Medicine

Our Functional medicine framework provides a comprehensive, root-cause approach that helps women understand what’s really going on with their hormones, cycles, and fertility. We don’t mask symptoms or overload your body with supplements. We listen, investigate, and collaborate on a plan to gently guide you back to balance.

Herbalism

Our herbal formulas are meticulously tailored to cater to the unique patterns of each individual client. Through skillful blending, these herbs are harmoniously combined to address not only the immediate symptoms but also the underlying root causes of health issues, ensuring rapid and enduring results.

Nutrition & Supplements

What we eat is the most powerful lifestyle influence on health but it can be hard to know where to start and who to listen to. We distill our recommendations down to simple principles and a few small shifts at a time.

Dietary supplements, single herbs, medicinal mushrooms, vitamins, and minerals can all play a vital role in improving root cause health and improving outcomes.

You will have your first acupuncture treatment at this visit and leave with a simple treatment plan to guide you.
  3. Each week you return for follow-up acupuncture sessions to keep you moving forward. We will check on your progress, make adjustments as needed, and keep your momentum going.
