Ashley Mele

 Ashley Mele, FNP, is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and co-founder of Heal Pediatrics, specializing in pediatric functional and root-cause medicine.

With over 15 years in the medical field, Ashley brings a broad clinical foundation that includes pediatric primary care, orthopedic medicine, pediatric and adult functional medicine

Through this experience, she developed a deep understanding of both the strengths and limitations of conventional, symptom-focused care.

When traditional medicine failed to provide answers for her and her own daughter, Ashley turned to functional medicine to uncover underlying imbalances and support true healing.

That experience reshaped her clinical focus and ignited a passion for helping children and families access thoughtful, root-cause care.

For the past three years, Ashley has dedicated her practice to pediatric functional medicine, supporting children with complex and chronic concerns through individualized care, advanced testing, and integrative therapies.

Ashley is trained through MAPS, ILADS, Psychiatry Redefined, and has completed advanced coursework through the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM). 

Known for her never-ending drive to learn, she remains committed to staying at the forefront of cutting-edge, evidence-based integrative therapies.

Her mission is to partner with parents, identify root causes, and support healing—so children can thrive both now and long-term
