At JLB Pilates, we partner with other health and wellness professionals in the Maple Grove area to deliver personalized wellness programs for our shared clients. Today, we’re introducing you to Ashley Robillard, licensed acupuncturist at Firefly Acupuncture in Maple Grove.
Ashley, how do you work with patients at Firefly Acupuncture?
AR: My primary service at Firefly is acupuncture treatment that supports the body’s natural healing processes and addresses concerns such as pain, stress, digestive issues, sleep problems, and hormonal balance. I also prescribe herbal formulas to patients to meet their individual needs and support healing and balance.
How is Firefly Acupuncture different from other acupuncture clinics in the area?
AR: I build very strong connections with each patient I treat. I provide personalized care, taking time to understand what each person is experiencing so treatments can be truly individualized. Along with acupuncture, I also incorporate bodywork techniques like cupping to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural healing process.
What’s your favorite thing about working with clients?
AR: What I love most about this work is the opportunity to help people feel seen, supported, and cared for while their bodies do the work of healing. It’s powerful to witness small shifts in patients, such as less pain, regularly menstrual cycles, or better sleep. These things can make a big difference to someone’s daily life.
Tell us a little about your professional background.
AR: I am a board-certified, licensed acupuncturist with training in Traditional Chinese Medicine. I’m committed to continuing education and have completed additional training in trigger point acupuncture for pain management, fertility support, pregnancy and labor preparation, as well as trauma-informed care for emotional wellbeing.
How can you help JLB Pilates clients as they start or continue their Pilates wellness journey?
AR: I support JLB Pilates clients by helping reduce muscle tension, improve recovery, and promote overall balance in the body. Through acupuncture and bodywork such as cupping, I can help address pain, stress, and tightness so clients can move more comfortably and get the most out of their Pilates practice.
Thanks, Ashley! One more question: when you’re not working with clients, what do you like to do?
AR: I have three teenagers that keep me busy. From theater performances to soccer, baseball and basketball games, I am always running to the next event. It brings me so much joy! I love going on vacation, game nights with friends, date days with my husband, or just lounging at the house working on a puzzle. Interested in working with Ashley?
