Today we’d like to introduce you to Ashlee Hess.
Hi Ashlee, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My name is Ashlee Hess, a nurse practitioner and owner of PS Wellness + Aesthetics in Basehor, Kansas. I started my career in emergency medicine, which taught me a lot about resilience, critical thinking, and what happens when we ignore our health for too long. But deep down, I was always drawn to preventative care and helping people feel good—not just survive.
I opened PS Wellness + Aesthetics because I wanted to create a space that blended wellness, aesthetics, and real results. We quickly grew because people were craving personalized, elevated care that made them feel seen. From peptides and hormone therapy to IV hydration, skin treatments to weight loss programs—everything we offer is designed to optimize how you feel from the inside out.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Definitely not a smooth road—but a meaningful one. Building this business has come with every challenge you can imagine financial risk, imposter syndrome, navigating regulations, staffing headaches, and learning how to scale without losing the personal touch that made us special in the first place.
One of the hardest parts has been balancing rapid growth with structure. When things take off, it’s tempting to keep saying yes to everything, but I had to learn to pause, build systems, and protect my energy so I didn’t burn out.
I also started this business while raising two daughters and trying to show them what it looks like to chase something bigger than yourself. That’s been both a motivator and a pressure point—because when you’re a mom and a business owner, you’re always multitasking between guilt and gratitude.
I’ve come to really appreciate the hard parts, though—because that’s where the growth lives. Every challenge forced me out of my comfort zone, and that’s exactly what helped me evolve—not just as a business owner, but as a person.
As you know, we’re big fans of PS Wellness + Aesthetics. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
PS Wellness + Aesthetics is more than a medspa—it’s a destination for people who are ready to feel good again. We specialize in hormone optimization, peptide therapy, medical weight loss, injectables, skincare, and IV hydration. But what really sets us apart is how we blend aesthetics with true wellness.
Our approach is personal, not cookie-cutter. Whether it’s helping someone get their confidence back through hormone therapy, supporting weight loss in a sustainable way, or crafting skincare plans that actually work—everything we do is backed by science, delivered with heart, and tailored to the individual.
We’re known for our honesty, high standards, and for actually listening. No fluff, no upsell games—just real solutions that change lives. Our team is passionate, highly trained, and genuinely loves what they do.
Brand-wise, I’m most proud that people feel safe and seen here. We’re not just here to treat symptoms—we’re here to empower you to take control of your health and love what you see in the mirror.
Any big plans?
Oh yes—big things are happening. We’re not just expanding—we’re evolving. My vision is to continue disrupting the industry by raising the standard for what wellness should feel like: accessible, elevated, and deeply personal.
