About Chelsea
Licensed in TX, NY, DC, and VA
If you’re looking for a provider who listens, empowers, and truly cares, you’ve found the right place. Chelsea Amoafi Asante, FNP-C, is a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner, author, wellness educator, and the founder of Orchid Wellness, where complete care is provided for you, with you.
​
A Journey Rooted in Compassion and Calling
Born and raised in Ghana, West Africa, Chelsea’s lifelong calling to care for others began early. She nurtured her younger siblings and managed the household by the age of 10. After immigrating to the U.S., she earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (Marketing & Human Resources) from the University at Buffalo. Though her career in HR allowed her to support others, it didn’t feel like her true path, so she pivoted toward nursing.
She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Louisiana Christian University and gained experience as a staff nurse, charge nurse, and preceptor in orthopedics, med-surg, pediatric urgent care, emergency medicine, and home health. Driven to lead and heal on a greater scale, she went on to earn her Master of Science in Nursing (Family Nurse Practitioner) from South University.
In recognition of her inspiring personal and professional journey, Chelsea was honored as a 2025 South University Alumni of the Year – Honorable Mention.
A Holistic Approach to Healing
Now, as the founder and CEO of Orchid Wellness, Chelsea provides primary care, weight loss, hormone optimization, IV therapy, aesthetic services, and pediatric care both in-person in the DFW area and via telehealth across Texas, New York, Washington, D.C., and Virginia. She delivers whole-person, evidence-based care to patients of all ages, focusing on healing from the inside out.
Through the MySWANS™ framework (Sleep, Water, Activity, Nutrition, Stress Management), Chelsea empowers patients to return to their natural, thriving selves. This philosophy inspired her debut book:
MySWANS™: A Graceful Return to You – A Whole-Person Guide to Returning to Your Natural Self
Published under her imprint Orchid Wellness Press, the book is available in print and eBook, and pairs with a companion MySWANS™ Wellness Journal.
Beyond the Clinic
Beyond her clinical work, Chelsea is the founder of Empower Health Partners, a business and education hub supporting the next generation of healthcare professionals and wellness entrepreneurs. Through this platform, she offers:
• Business strategy and brand development
• CPR certification, medical assistant & phlebotomy training
• Internships, mentorships, and preceptorships
​
Chelsea also launched Orchid Wellness Press, an imprint under Empower Health Partners, dedicated to promoting whole-person wellness through the written and spoken word. Through this outlet, she published her debut book:
MySWANS™: A Graceful Return to You. A Whole-Person Guide to Returning to Your Natural Self, along with the companion MySWANS™ Wellness Journal, rooted in the foundational pillars of Sleep, Water, Activity, Nutrition, and Stress Management.
But Chelsea’s most important role, the one that grounds and fuels everything she does, is being a mother to her two children, Skylar and Kaiden. Their joy, resilience, and unconditional love are her daily motivation and her deepest “why.”
​
When she’s not in the clinic or leading a wellness workshop, you’ll likely find her with headphones on, immersed in one of her favorite mystery audiobooks. A passionate audiobook listener, Chelsea devours more than 350 books a year, drawn especially to gripping suspense, clever plot twists, and stories that keep her guessing. It’s her favorite form of self-care and her window into worlds beyond her own.
Sharing Her Story
Chelsea’s journey as a nurse practitioner, single mother, entrepreneur, and first-generation immigrant is one of strength, surrender, and service. Through her voice, whether speaking live, sharing in interviews, or performing poetry-style spoken word, she connects deeply with others navigating healing, hustle, and hope.
Her life principle, changing her corner of the world, shows up in every patient visit, every business she builds, and every story she tells.
​
Chelsea speaks at wellness conferences, healthcare summits, and women’s leadership events on topics such as:
• The MySWANS™ Framework for Sustainable Wellness
• From Burnout to Balance: A Provider’s Journey
• Healing Beyond the Diagnosis
• Building with Purpose: Entrepreneurship in Healthcare
• Creating Space for Yourself in the Midst of It All
​
Through every medium, Chelsea’s message remains clear: you don’t have to change the whole world. Just your corner of it. And in doing so, you make space for others to heal, rise, and thrive.
