ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Ashley Nelson, founder of 619 Wellness, a Christ-centered functional wellness practice created from both my nursing background and my own healing journey.

I began my career as a Registered Nurse, passionate about helping others feel better. But over time, I realized the allopathic model I was trained in wasn’t built to heal people, it was built to manage disease. I wanted to be proactive, not reactive. I wanted to understand why the body was breaking down in the first place.

For years, I struggled with my own health, stubborn weight, yo-yo dieting, fatigue, brain fog and frustration that no “perfect” diet seemed to fix. Even when I was doing everything “right,” something deeper was still off. I couldn’t help but feel discouraged watching everyone else get results I was working so hard for. It looked effortless for them but so restrictive for me. It wasn’t until I began exploring functional health that I uncovered hidden stressors affecting my body. But even then, true healing didn’t begin until I faced what was happening beneath the surface, emotionally and spiritually.

Through prayer, therapy, and forgiveness, I uncovered emotional wounds and unresolved pain that were blocking my progress. When I began releasing those burdens and reconnecting with God, everything started to shift. My body began to respond. My mind softened. My spirit felt at peace.

That experience changed everything. It taught me that the body keeps the score and that physical symptoms are often reflections of deeper emotional and spiritual imbalances. That’s why I’m so passionate about helping women heal the whole person, mind, body, and spirit because all three must be in alignment for the body to function the way God designed it to.

At 619 Wellness, my mission is to help you uncover what’s holding you back, restore balance to your body, and renew your faith in the process. Healing is not just about protocols and lab results, it’s about partnering with God to bring your body and soul back into harmony.
