FOUNDER

Ashley Winkler is the visionary behind LUX Med Spa and Wellness Center, Sarasota’s premier destination for advanced skincare, anti-aging solutions, medical weight loss, hormone optimization, and whole-body wellness.

Her passion for aesthetics was first sparked during her time living in Japan—a country renowned for its innovation and excellence in skincare. Inspired by its beauty culture and commitment to preventative care, Ashley began her own journey into the world of anti-aging and skin health, ultimately turning that passion into purpose.

Before founding LUX, Ashley gained valuable experience managing a physical medicine and chiropractic office. But it was her entrepreneurial spirit—and desire to help others feel confident inside and out—that led her to create LUX: a brand grounded in science, sophistication, and personalized care.

A proud Fort Lauderdale native now thriving in Sarasota, Ashley is also a dedicated mother of three and an advocate for female entrepreneurship. She has proudly mentored and supported several women in launching their own businesses, embodying her belief that empowered women empower others.
