About Barrett Wellness Center
Hi there!
I’m Ashley, the founder of Barrett Wellness Center. If you’re here, chances are you’re tired of feeling like your body is working against you. Maybe you’re struggling with weight gain, bloating that just won’t quit, energy crashes that leave you feeling wiped out, or those frustrating hormonal symptoms that doctors keep brushing off like they’re no big deal. Trust me, I get it. I’ve been there, and I’m here to tell you there is a way out!
Ever since I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a doctor, just like my grandfather. I earned my biomedical sciences degree from Arizona State University, fully planning to follow in his footsteps and go to medical school. For years, I was laser-focused on that dream. Becoming a doctor was it. That was the path I was going to take, no question. I was so focused on that goal that I didn’t stop to ask myself whether it was the right one for me.
Then, in 2021, everything changed. While I was deep in the process of medical school applications, life threw me a curveball. I began dealing with digestive issues that came out of nowhere - bloating, fatigue, acne, and none of the doctors I saw could help. My labs were “normal,” my symptoms were dismissed, and I felt like I was losing myself in the process.
It forced me to pause and ask the question I had avoided for years: Is this really the path I want? The more I thought about it, the more I realized that writing prescriptions and rushing through 15-minute appointments wasn’t aligned with how I wanted to support people.
Let me be clear: I deeply respect Western medicine. It’s saved lives, changed the world, and will always be an essential part of healthcare. But for me, and the kind of care I felt called to provide, it wasn’t the right fit. I wasn’t interested in masking symptoms. I wanted to help people actually heal.
So I walked away, from the career I’d spent years chasing, and moved to California to figure out what was next. That’s when I discovered holistic nutrition and functional wellness. And suddenly… it all made sense!!
I realized my symptoms weren’t random, they were signals. My body wasn’t broken. It was asking for support. That shift changed everything for me. I finally felt like my body and I were on the same team again. That moment of clarity led me to become a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP), and I’ve been helping others reconnect with their health ever since.
At Barrett Wellness Center, I’m here to guide you back to balance, not perfection. No restrictive diets. No one-size-fits-all plans. Just real, personalized support that helps you feel more energized, more in tune with your body, and more you.
Whether you’re dealing with digestive issues, hormone imbalances, burnout, or simply feeling disconnected from your health, you don’t have to do it alone. I’ll meet you where you’re at and support you in creating sustainable shifts that fit your life.
You deserve to feel your best. And I’m here to help you get there with clarity, compassion, and a whole lot of balance!
Thank you for being here. If my story resonates with you, I’d love to connect and hear yours too!
My Approach
A Plan That Works for YOU
Finding Your Unique Balance
At Barrett Wellness Center, I believe true health starts with understanding you—your body, your lifestyle, your goals. Everyone’s path looks different, which is why I tailor my approach to meet you exactly where you are.
Here’s what that looks like:
Listen, Learn, Empower
I take the time to understand your story—your symptoms, your routines, your concerns. Together, we’ll uncover what’s really going on and create a plan that fits your life, not the other way around. This is your journey, and I’m here to support you through it.
A Holistic, Root-Cause Approach
I don’t just look at surface symptoms, I look deeper. Whether it’s low energy, mood swings, brain fog, or something else entirely, I help you get to the root of what’s going on. Through personalized nutrition, lifestyle shifts, and holistic tools, we’ll support your body from the inside out.
Bioindividuality
What works for one person may not work for another. Your body is uniquely yours, and my approach is built around the idea of bioindividuality. We honor your personal health journey and understand that the path to wellness looks different for everyone.
Balance Over Perfection
Life gets messy, and that’s okay. I’m here to help you create a balanced, sustainable approach to health that fits into your everyday life, not something that feels like another “diet” or another set of restrictions.
Ongoing Support & Accountability
I'm not just here to hand you a plan and wish you good luck, I'm in this with you! My approach includes ongoing support, accountability, and guidance so you never feel alone on your journey.
Your health is about more than what you eat or how much you move. It’s about how you feel, how you live, and how you show up for yourself. I'm here to help you create a version of wellness that actually works for your life.
Are you ready to reclaim your health and discover your unique balance?
The Symbol Behind the Logo
The lotus and unalome symbol featured in my logo represents the journey to balance, healing, and self-awareness. The spiral at the base symbolizes life’s twists, turns, and challenges. As the path straightens, it reflects the clarity and growth we experience along the way. The lotus flower at the top is a symbol of transformation, rising from muddy waters to bloom in strength and beauty. It perfectly reflects the mission of Barrett Wellness Center: guiding you through the messy parts of healing toward a more aligned, empowered version of yourself.
Here's How I Can Help
When you choose to work with me, you’re not just signing up for a program, you’re starting a personalized journey toward a healthier, more balanced you. I understand how overwhelming it can feel to tackle your health on your own, and that’s exactly why I’m here, to guide you with a compassionate, holistic approach every step of the way.
A deep dive into your health history, symptoms, and lifestyle to create a clear starting point
Initial Consultation & Health Evaluation
Your journey begins with a one-on-one, 1-hour consultation, where we dive deep into your unique health story. We’ll talk about everything—from your current symptoms, lifestyle habits, and food choices to your struggles with energy, sleep, and stress. During this session, we’ll also go through the Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (NAQ), a tool that helps highlight where your body might be out of balance so we can better understand what needs support. This will give us insight into patterns and areas of stress that might be holding you back from feeling your best. By the end of our conversation, we’ll have a clear, personalized action plan ready to get you on the path toward healing.
A customized wellness plan tailored to your unique needs and goals
Personalized Action Plan
After our consultation, I’ll put together a wellness plan that’s tailored to your body, your lifestyle, and your goals. Your action plan will include easy-to-follow dietary recommendations, lifestyle changes, and steps that will help you feel your best. And the best part? I’ll be there to support you as you put it all into practice, adjusting things along the way to ensure it’s working for you.
Continuous guidance, check-ins, and adjustments to keep you on track
Ongoing Support & Follow-ups
You won’t be left to figure it out alone. I’m here for regular check-ins, adjustments, and support, because healing isn’t linear, and you deserve someone in your corner!
Exclusive guides and resources to support your journey
Free Access to Guides & Educational Resources
As a bonus, when you work with me, you’ll get access to my go-to guides, meal plans, and actionable tips to help you stay on track between sessions. These are designed to help you dive deeper into your wellness journey so that you can feel your absolute best!
Balanced, long-term changes that fit your lifestyle.
Sustainable Results, Not Perfection
This isn’t about chasing some unrealistic version of “perfect health.” It’s about working with your body, not against it. We’ll focus on real, sustainable shifts that make sense for your life, so you can feel more balanced, clear, and in control for the long haul!
