Ashley Benson

Functional Movement Specialist

Ashley serves as a health coach and movement specialist dedicated to helping individuals restore strength, mobility, and confidence through intentional, sustainable movement. Her approach is rooted in collaboration—working closely with Eden MD’s specialists to support each member’s overall care experience.

A former collegiate volleyball athlete, Ashley’s own journey through injury reshaped her understanding of health beyond performance alone. After earning her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, she expanded her focus from traditional strength and conditioning into rehabilitation, recovery, and long-term healing. It was during her Pilates teacher training at the Memorial Hermann Wellness Center in Houston, Texas that she experienced the transformative impact of Pilates firsthand—rehabilitating her shoulder and whole body through the Reformer apparatus.

Today, Ashley integrates Pilates fundamentals as the backbone of her coaching at Eden MD, blending strength training, joint stabilization, deep core work, posture and spinal mobility, active stretching, and functional stability. Her work supports members in pre-habilitation, rehabilitation, and healthy aging—enhancing quality of life while reducing injury risk and supporting longevity.

With over two decades of experience in the fitness and movement space, Ashley holds a Comprehensive Pilates Certification and teaches both private and group sessions using Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, Springboard, and a wide range of Pilates props. She brings a global perspective as a teacher trainer for the largest Pilates company in Japan, where she helps educate and certify instructors and provides continuing education internationally. .

As part of the Eden MD team, Ashley’s passion lies in empowering members to take ownership of their health through movement that is intelligent, restorative, and life-giving. She believes true wellness is built through partnership—and she is committed to walking alongside each member as they move toward strength, balance, and lasting vitality.
