RawthenticPlus

Ashley Talford is a Holistic Wellness Educator and the founder of RawthenticPlus.

She helps people who carry a lot and live under constant stress rebuild sustainable health through movement, nourishment, and restorative practices.

This work is especially supportive for those who are used to being the strong one for everyone else.

Her Journey

Ashley’s journey into wellness began in 2016, before the launch of RawthenticPlus, through a personal commitment to healing with whole, plant-based foods.

After years of struggling with severe constipation, she committed to a 30-day reset that shifted everything. For the first time, her body began to regulate, and she experienced what it felt like to feel lighter, more energized, and supported from within.

That experience sparked a deeper commitment to understanding how the body heals.

Over the years, Ashley continued to explore nourishment through plant-based living and juice therapy, studying how food, hydration, and consistency impact digestion, energy, and overall health.

Her journey didn’t stop there.

As her understanding deepened, Ashley expanded into movement, nervous system work, and herbal medicine - recognizing that true healing requires supporting the body as a whole.

In 2024, she completed an extended 90-day juice fast, using intentional nourishment, rest, and discipline to support her body through deeper healing - including recovery from a rotator cuff and SLAP tear.

Through this experience, she witnessed firsthand the body’s ability to restore itself when given the right environment.

But she also learned something even more important.

Many people know what to eat. They know what to do. Yet they still feel overwhelmed, inflamed, and exhausted.

That realization transformed her work.

The Evolution

Ashley’s approach has continued to evolve into a more holistic and grounded way of living and teaching.

Beginning in 2020, she started growing her own food, reconnecting with nourishment at its source and deepening her understanding of how the body responds to fresh, whole, and intentional ingredients.

In 2024, she began studying ancestral medicine and herbal healing, building her own apothecary and integrating plant-based remedies into her daily life and work.

This expansion allows her to support the body more fully - addressing not only stress, but digestion, inflammation, recovery, and overall balance.

Her Philosophy
Ashley believes that wellness is not about extremes, perfection, or constantly doing more. It’s about creating space for the body to slow down, release, and rebuild. Her work is rooted in the understanding that when the body is supported - through movement, nourishment, and regulation - it has the ability to restore itself.

RawthenticPlus is more than a wellness brand.

It is a space for education, restoration, and sustainable healing.
