When Abbey (@weglow.wellness) lost her period at age 20 after coming off the pill, she was fobbed off as having PCOS and told to just worry about it when she wants kids. 

Occupational therapist turned wellness coach, Abbey was sick of doctors and even women’s specialists not looking at the big picture of health. 

When she decided to come off the contractive pill, she expected her cycle to resume as normal, but when it didn’t, doctors and specialists told her she had PCOS. 

“I didn’t have elevated androgen levels or any other physical symptoms of PCOS. She said, just manage it now and try IVF when you want kids” 

After taking 2 years to recover her period and hormone health, Abbey became driven to help other women like her. 

She now bridges the gap between the mind and body to help women regain their health.

Sig and Abbey have an amazing in depth chat about trauma and self-awareness and how to heal the mind to help the body.

Siggy Fisher speaks with Ashleigh Boehm of Warrior Woman Wellness about her evolution from aesthetics focused fitness to spiritual and mindset. 

 Ashleigh helped women with physical transformations for years, but as she evolved, so did her coaching style. 

 With a long history of eating disorders, Ashleigh admitted she was projecting her own unhealed wounds onto her clients.

 “When I first got into the fitness industry, I thought weight training and learning about nutrition was going to heal me, but it ended up being another cover, so instead of trying to be skinny, I was trying to be muscly and skinny, and I was also projecting that ideal onto my clients,” she said. 

 Always fat loss focused, it wasn’t until Ashleigh did a soul-searching journey in South America, that she realised while she thought she was helping people, she was actually projecting her unhealed wounds onto them. 

 “I cried when I realised that I had been telling women to lose weight, when most of them did not need to,” she said. 

 She discovered the reason a lot of women have issues with emotional eating so Ashleigh pivoted and changed her business focus and now does things that are aligned with her. 

 She now coaches and practices informed eating – the middle ground between intuitive eating and nutritional science.
