“There’s potential in all of us just waiting to be unlocked.”

Ashley Urunuela DPT, is driven by compassion and the desire to help others overcome.

She says, “There’s nothing more rewarding than helping people get back to living the life they want to live. I’m incredibly thankful for the people in my own life who have encouraged, challenged, motivated, and cared for me to be the best version of myself. I see it as a privilege and an honor to get to do the same for others daily.”

Ashley grew up in Carbondale, Illinois where she dedicated much of her time to school and playing basketball at the high school and collegiate levels. Upon earning her bachelor’s degree, she moved to Oklahoma City for physical therapy school and worked in the outpatient setting for 2 years. She got married in 2019 and moved to Istanbul Turkey with her husband where she taught in an undergraduate physical therapy program at a private University and served the local church. After 3 years overseas, she and her husband felt it was time to move back home where she is thrilled to be working as a clinician again.

Ashley lives in Edmond Oklahoma with her husband Alejandro. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with friends and family, outdoor activities, watching Disney movies, baking, and traveling. As a half Sri-Lankan who is married to a Mexican and has lived in Turkey, Ashley loves to experience and learn about other cultures.

She reminds us that, “Life is an adventure. Go all in!”
