About Bethanie Nice, FNP
Bethanie is a devout Catholic, dedicated wife, and mother of three who excels as a certified family nurse practitioner. She is deeply committed to restoring women’s health and optimizing hormones across their lifespans. Her educational background includes a Master’s Degree in Nursing from George Washington University and a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing from Indiana State University, complemented by her completion of the Adapt Functional Practitioner Program at the Kresser Institute.
Since 2014, Bethanie has specialized in providing gynecological and obstetrical care to women of all ages. Her interest in women’s health was sparked at a young age, leading her to her first professional role as a registered nurse in a labor and delivery unit. It was there that she cultivated a profound appreciation for the miracle of life—from conception to delivery—recognizing it as one of the most beautiful gifts of creation.
In her practice within the conventional healthcare system, Bethanie often felt conflicted about the prevalent approach of suppressing natural biological rhythms through prescriptions like birth control. Believing strongly in nurturing rather than inhibiting these rhythms, she shifted her focus to educating women about fertility awareness and managing menstrual issues with nutrition and lifestyle changes.
Around 2020, Bethanie faced personal health challenges due to chronic stress, which significantly impacted her hormonal balance. This experience led her to a deep introspection and spiritual renewal through the grace of the Holy Spirit. She embraced her true identity, realizing it was not something to be earned but a gift freely given. This insight transformed her vision for health restoration, which she likens to planting new roots in healthy soil to allow a tree to grow, bearing fruit and providing shade and joy to its surroundings.
Today, Bethanie is passionate about walking alongside women seeking to restore their health with the support of Christ, the Divine Physician. Her functional and holistic approach addresses a range of conditions including menstrual cycle irregularities, infertility, PCOS, endometriosis, and supports women through pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause, guiding them towards reclaiming their health and well-being.
Bethanie currently works with women who must be Virginia residents via telehealth.
About Ashley Grosch, FDN-P
Ashley Grosch is a Catholic Christian, wife, mother of four, and functional wellness practitioner. She is the co-founder of Roots Restoration, where she works alongside individuals and families seeking a deeper understanding of their health through functional testing, education, nutrition, and individualized wellness support. At the heart of everything she does is a conviction that the body, mind, and soul were created by God with extraordinary purpose and should be cared for accordingly.
A graduate of the United States Naval Academy and former Naval officer, Ashley’s life has long been shaped by a call to service. She served nine years in the United States Navy before eventually finding that same call expressed in very different ways through motherhood, farming, functional wellness, and ministry. Though the outward form of her vocation has changed considerably over the years, the desire to serve others has remained a constant thread.
Ashley’s love for natural health began long before it became her vocation. She grew up with her hands in the soil of her grandmother’s victory garden and surrounded by the rhythms of life on her family’s dairy farm. Those early experiences planted a lifelong love of growing food, traditional herbal remedies, and the relationship between the health of the land and the health of the people it nourishes. Over time, that foundation grew into a deeper study of functional health and the body’s remarkable God-given capacity for restoration.
With more than a decade of experience in the wellness field, Ashley is trained as an ADAPT Practitioner through Chris Kresser, a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P), and a Certified Health Coach through the Dr. Sears Wellness Institute. She has also completed permaculture training through Cornell University, allowing her to bring together two passions that have shaped much of her life: regenerative agriculture and whole-person wellness. Her work has increasingly focused on complex and chronic health concerns, including gut health, detoxification, pediatric wellness, healthy aging and longevity, and supportive wellness care for individuals navigating cancer.
Ashley’s understanding of healing, however, has grown far beyond what can be measured on a laboratory report. After a lifelong journey of Christian faith, Ashley entered the Catholic Church in 2024, receiving the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Communion. Her conversion profoundly deepened her understanding of surrender, suffering, healing, the sacramental life, and what it means to belong wholly to Christ. Catholicism is now inseparable from the way she understands her vocation: not simply as work to be accomplished, but as an opportunity to serve the person God has placed directly in front of her.
As a student at the Encounter School of Ministry, Ashley continues to deepen her formation in prayer and healing ministry and her understanding of what it means to make herself available to the Holy Spirit. She considers it a profound privilege to pray with others and to walk alongside people not only in the pursuit of physical wellness, but also through seasons of suffering, restoration, and renewed hope. Increasingly, she has come to understand that some of the deepest healing God accomplishes cannot be quantified by a laboratory value or contained within a wellness protocol.
Whether she is working with a wellness client, teaching a family, researching a complicated case, growing food, formulating products for The Farm Life, or simply praying with the person God has placed before her, Ashley desires the same thing: to serve with tenderness, pursue truth without fear, and point people toward the goodness of the God who created them.
Ashley works with individuals and families through Roots Restoration via telehealth and currently serves clients all over the world from ages 0 and up via telehealth or in person.
