Where Well-Being Becomes a Lifestyle

Hi, I'm Ashlee, and I'm thrilled to share a bit about myself and the path that led me to become a wellnista, not to be confused with fashionista!

First and foremost, I'm a grateful wife and the mother of an amazing three-year-old son. My professional life began as a nurse, driven by a self-starting spirit and a deep commitment to healing and caring for others. For 17 years, I immersed myself in the medical field—first as a critical care nurse and later in the medical device industry.

Throughout my career, whether at the bedside or in the corporate world, I consistently advocated for a holistic and proactive approach to health. As a critical care nurse, I was often perplexed by the reactive nature of patient care. Why wait until a patient was deteriorating to act? While some critical situations are unavoidable, I developed a burning passion for early intervention and proactive strategies. This led me to research and create an early intervention proning protocol for patients showing signs of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) before I transitioned from bedside nursing.

After spending a few years travel nursing, I joined the medical device industry, drawn to a company whose products championed proactive patient management—a philosophy I deeply believed in.

Then came 2020, this era truly highlighted the consequences of re-activeness, conflicting information, and a lack of preparedness. My collective experience strengthened my lean into holistic medicine.

Then came the diagnosis... It was a pivotal moment that changed my life forever and unequivocally solidified my commitment to a holistic journey.
