Ashley had been very healthy through her childhood, but by her twentieth birthday, knew that something was ‘wrong’. She was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), a type of hormonal imbalance, and told that she would face a lifetime of medication and be unable to conceive a child naturally. She was dealing with exhaustion, irregular cycles, depression, and hormonal flares that just wouldn’t go away. The medications the doctors prescribed had side effects that were worse than the symptoms they were supposed to treat. Ashley wanted to get to the root of her health issues, not hide her symptoms behind a regimen of pills.

When Ashley found Eastern medicine, started getting acupuncture, and took Chinese herbs, her life started to transform. Her symptoms gradually disappeared while her energy and vitality returned. When she was ready to have children, she again turned to acupuncture and Eastern medicine to conceive without medical intervention. Over time, her condition has completely resolved and she now has 3 beautiful children!

After having such an incredible and transformative experience, she wanted to make Eastern medicine her life’s work and share this incredible medicine with others.
