Audra Castillo

Amy began her massage practice in Idaho in 2002 studying as an apprentice. After moving to Ashland and attending SOU she decided to continue to pursue her massage career and became a certified massage therapist completing training in Boise, Idaho. Southern Oregon became her home once again in 2004 and massage continued as her passion. Amy is also a Certified Educator of Infant Massage and is excited about teaching infant massage classes to parents and their babies. Working in the Rogue Valley as an independent contractor she has taken a more therapeutic approach to massage and focuses on the health aspect of relaxation and stress relief.

Audra has made the Rogue Valley her home for the last six years.  The study of massage therapy began for her in 1997 when she was 16 years old.  She enrolled in a massage course offered at  the local community college.   After 7 years of self study she decided to complete her formal  training at Ashland Institute of Massage in 2004.  Over the last few years, Audra has refined her  skills in order to meet her client’s therapeutic needs.  Her aim is to provide massage to benefit  the community and their health by reducing stress, easing tension and relieving pain.
