Hi, I’m Ashley Edwards.
I'm a board certified, Functional Medicine Health & Wellness Coach, detoxification research rabbit-hole jumper, modern day witch, positivity promoter, adventure-seeker, problem-solver, bio-individual health activist, cat mom, bio-hacking nerd, and empowering motivator. Did I mention I also like to push people out of their comfort zone daily?
My genius is always evolving and takes many forms but my ultimate love is to help humans discover their power in this lifetime!
My favorite portal to take to help you discover your Queen Power is through optimal health strategies, deep-cleansing rituals, and action steps that make you advocate for your wellness journey.
My Story

My Story *
For years, I felt like my body was betraying me. From ages 18 to 23, I suffered from IBS, chronic fatigue, persistent vaginal infections, inflamed sinuses that robbed me of taste and smell, and frustrating sleep disturbances. I was determined to be successful in life, but how could I possibly thrive when I didn’t even have the energy to get through the day? No matter how much I pushed myself, my body kept breaking down. I felt disconnected from myself—both physically and spiritually.
Then, at 23, I discovered functional medicine, and everything changed. For the first time, I stopped chasing temporary fixes and started uncovering root causes. I healed my gut, restored my sense of smell, minimized my allergies, and reclaimed my energy. But more importantly, I felt powerful—like I had finally taken control of my own body and well-being.
The Missing Link in Coaching
While I was on my own healing journey, I was also growing my life coaching business. I started as a life coach seven years ago, but I quickly noticed a pattern—my clients weren’t thriving the way I knew they could. They would show up to sessions frustrated because they hadn’t completed their action steps. Not because they lacked motivation or discipline, but because their bodies were depleted.
Fatigue, brain fog, gut issues, chronic stress—these were the barriers keeping them from achieving their goals. No amount of mindset work could override a body that wasn’t functioning at its best. That’s when I had my aha moment: True success—whether in career, relationships, or personal growth—starts with wellness. Without a strong, healthy foundation, everything else is an uphill battle.
Building Forming Her Wellness
In 2019, I expanded my business to include wellness coaching, transforming it into what is now Forming Her Wellness. I immersed myself in advanced training, working with one of my mentors, Dr. Stephen Cabral, where I learned about detoxification, Ayurveda, and how to read functional medicine lab work. I later earned my certification from Functional Medicine Coaching Academy (FMCA) and worked toward my board certification, which I officially received in December 2022.
Now, I don’t just help women set goals—I help them rebuild their foundation, reclaim their energy, and reconnect to their inner wisdom.
Why I Do This Work
Women’s health has been overlooked for far too long. We’ve been conditioned to push through exhaustion, to normalize discomfort, and to ignore the signals our bodies are screaming at us. It’s time for that to change.
We were never taught how powerful and intuitive our minds and bodies truly are. But once we understand how to listen to them, advocate for ourselves, and take charge of our wellness, everything shifts.
I have witnessed firsthand—through my own healing, my clients' transformations, and even within my own family—the life-changing power of functional medicine and holistic wellness. My mission is to help women break free from the cycle of burnout, step into their strength, and build a body and life that truly supports them.
