This practitioner has empathy, innate sensing of patient needs, plus nonpareil techniques in the art and science of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). I cannot yet comment on Dr. Tomasino 's skills in her other specialty areas of healing. In my series of 8 hour-long acupuncture sessions, Ashley took time to explain the process, the credible benefits, and all after-visit expectations for me as a first time acupuncture patient. A troublesome knee injury is on its way to a far better status. Underlying liver issues that she senses were also evaluated and treated to good effect. Solid and natural healing!!!!! read more

See all

I highly recommend Dr Ashley Tomasino! Thank you for taking good care of me. I feel a lot better than before... you're the far best acupuncturist out there! Keep up the good work read more

Ashley is a wonderful healer. She is very in tune with ones needs in the process. I would highly recommend her to anyone in search of relief be it physical or spiritual or both. read more

Ashley provides a UNIQUE combination of healing modalities. My first meeting with her was for sciatic pain relief through acupuncture. I have since returned for Shamanic work as well as attending her courses. If you are on a healing journey you are in luck to have someone as dedicated as Ashley in San Diego. I highly recommend, she does not disappoint. 10/10 read more

Dr. Ashley does amazing healing sessions. Ive never done acupuncture before until I met Dr. Ashley and it was incredible. In combination with her various tools, she is sweet, friendly, and very intuitive. She personalizes the experience as you learn interesting things about yourself, your life, and what could be happening beneath the pain. As someone who been through a lot of trauma at a young age, I've had some unresolved emotions causing tension within my muscles. When Dr. Ashley places the needles in specific parts of my body I feel some interesting things happening. Like my brain becomes more aware of the parts of my body where the pins are placed, then I feel like I can finally relax, and sometimes actually fell asleep during the sessions. When I wake up I feel reborn, calm, and poised. Its like a total reset of my nervous system and as a result, I am much more grounded and present. I highly recommend Dr. Ashley. read more

Dr. Ashley is an excellent healer and great at what she does! I highly recommend her retreats as they are very powerful and for those who are committed to personal growth and transformation. She is genuine, authentic, and down to earth. Not an ounce of pretentious, holier than thou with her, which is huge for me. There is so much of that in the "New Age" community. Ashley constantly shows her vulnerability and human nature, despite the fact the she is a very powerful and intuitive healer. She is also helping me with acupuncture and Chinese medicine. She has a no non-sense method of treatment and gets right to it. She also listens and genuinely wants to help others. I have much respect for her and the work she does. She has gone through a tremendous amount of time and effort to reach where she is and still continues to strive to be a more powerful healer. I've had an issue with my back for quite some time now and in 3 sessions the relief is very noticeable and I'm blown away. She uses acupuncture, cupping, stretching, massage, and gua sha. She has a full arsenal of tools :) I highly recommend her! read more

She does not disappoint. Her gifts are amazing. So worth traveling. And full of inspiration and knowledge. Thank you for sharing. You are walking medicine to the world. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Dr. Ashley is one of the most passionate and committed healers you will ever meet. I started working with her six months ago for shamanic healings, but it feels like it's been many lifetimes, because the amount of freedom and empowerment I enjoy in my daily life has skyrocketed. I feel as though I've come home to myself, my lifelong addiction to sugar has almost completely evaporated, and my purpose has come into such clarity. What a gift! Thank you, Dr. Ash, for being so courageous on your path and teaching me so much. The sessions I had with you profoundly changed my life for the better, and I'm so grateful. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 it's a 5 star yelp read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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) read more

I first worked with Ashley in her 3 day Shamanic Journeying work shop. I didn't know what to expect. I am so glad I went, as it has opened up a whole new world for me that has lead me on the path I am today! Ashley was very thorough, informative, REAL (she is just herself, she jokes around, talks about real life examples) ever since I have worked with her my ability to have visions & journey on my own has been accessible and I feel comfortable, confident, safe doing so. I had received acupuncture during the workshop which combined beautifully, it greatly enhanced my ability to journey. I ended up also going on a Peru retreat she organized. LIFE CHANGING. Ashley is a beautiful caring soul whose intentions I trust. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to heal and learn more about this work. read more

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. read more

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! read more
