Before this place shifted focus more towards treating depression and mental health with ketamine, it was a functional medicine practice touting the ability to help you figure out your health issues and reclaim your life. I had a mostly decent experience with one of the practitioners (she misdiagnosed me, but came to me a few days later and owned it). But when she left, Ashley’s negligence in responding to me in a timely manner about a medication I was on caused a snowball effect that put me into a health crisis I have yet to fully recover from two years later. This could have easily been avoided had she not taken weeks to get back to me (after several years as a compliant patient who had paid Nourish thousands of dollars). I ended up having two undiagnosed chronic illnesses as well as undiagnosed autism and nobody at that practice picked up on any of it. When confronted at the time, Ashley was dismissive, terse, and shifted blame. I have delayed posting this review because I don’t like to complain and I feared retribution at a pivotal moment when I desperately needed the local medical community’s help. However, I feel strongly that making others aware that Ashley Mannell is not necessarily the caring and professional practitioner you are seeking is the right thing to do. I do not recommend entrusting her with your health. Mental or otherwise. Wishing positive resolutions for anyone who is searching for relief and may read this. You’re never alone! Keep advocating for yourself and don’t let anyone gaslight you into thinking you don’t know your own body or aren’t worthy of the best available care.

Ashley Mannell and her team are leaders in Functional Medicine! As the first Functional Medicine practice in the Richmond area, Ashley's passion and commitment to her patients is simply unsurpassed. I have had the pleasure of working with both Ashley and more recently with Courtney Harden. Courtney is an incredible asset to the practice because of her kind demeanor, extensive knowledge and her ability to not only uncover but explain complex underlying issues always makes me feel more connected and confident in my treatment. The impact Ashley and Courtney continue to make on my health and quality of life is profound. If you are ready to break the cycle of masking your symptoms and take that first step to healing, this is the practice for you.

Ashley has been instrumental in helping me believe in me and find joy in life. Her kindness, compassion for her patients, knowledge, and ability to reach you is unparalleled. It is not possible to write in words how eternally grateful I will always be for her. She gets 100 stars from me.
