I'm Ashley, a Certified Nutritionist who specializes in gut health and

blood sugar management. I'm thrilled to have you here!

Sustainably Balanced

There was a time when my approach to health was completely wrapped up in extremes. I’d follow strict diets during the week—counting every calorie, skipping social plans, and trying to “earn” my results—only to unravel on the weekends with heavy drinking, late nights, and poor food choices that left me feeling bloated, guilty, and stuck in a cycle of shame. I tried everything: low-carb, vegan, calorie restriction, endless cardio. I focused more on numbers than nourishment, and despite all the effort, I felt puffy, fatigued, and disconnected from any sense of real vitality.

 

The vegan phase was my final wake-up call—my energy tanked, my hair thinned, and I couldn’t rely on caffeine to keep patching things up anymore. I remember looking in the mirror one day and thinking, “Why am I working so hard to feel this bad?”

I was SO uncomfortable with my bloat that I would live in leggings and baggy/loose-fitting tops (never crop tops). It was a cycle that never ended.

It wasn’t until I started to look at food as empowerment- food as medicine that I began to feel better about myself. 

 

One day I decided that enough was enough! I HAD and needed to make myself the number one priority, and this began with nourishing myself with nutrient-dense foods, getting a quality night’s sleep (and keeping a consistent sleep schedule), and slowly began to lower my caffeine consumption.

​

I now view health as:

  • feeling confident in my skin

  • trusting my body and the process

  • giving it all the nourishment it needs and deserves

  • enjoying food with family and friends

  • moving my body in a way that feels good and I enjoy

​
