About LUX MedSpa & Montesano Wellness Center

FOUNDER

Ashley Winkler is the Founder and Owner of LUX MedSpa and Montesano Wellness Center, a company dedicated to bringing its clients the best and latest in skincare rejuvenation, anti-aging procedures, weight loss management, hormone therapy, nutritional supplementation, and more. Ashley’s love for anti-aging and skincare first began while living in Japan—a country known for its high-quality skincare products. Her passion for anti-aging and skincare quickly grew and she realized that she wanted to help others discover their own unique inner and outer beauty. After managing a physical medicine and chiropractic office for a couple of years, Ashley decided it was time to follow her heart and, thus, the LUX brand was born. A Fort Lauderdale native, Ashley currently resides in sunny Sarasota and is a proud mother to three beautiful children. Ashley strongly believes in empowering women and has assisted in the start-up of other women-owned businesses. When she’s not busy helping others achieve their beauty goals, Ashley enjoys relaxing at the beach (after applying plenty of sunscreen, of course!)
