Hi, I'm Ashley, a Certified Holistic Nutritionist on a mission to help you feel optimal! For as long as I can remember I have been interested in health and nutrition, and how our bodies work. In 2017 my life got flipped upside down and inside out. My body was screaming that it was depleted, stressed to the max, and wildly unbalanced. After visits with numerous practitioners, doctors, and endocrinologists, I was diagnosed with subacute thyroiditis.
Initially, it didn't sound too scary, but I had no idea the wave of chaos my diagnosis would bring. For nearly 2 years I struggled with symptoms that I had no idea how to handle. I had raging panic attacks that would make me crumble and unable to care for my family. My hair was falling out in clumps. I lost a significant amount of weight. I couldn't eat, couldn't sleep. I had heart palpitations that landed me in the ER several times. I couldn't think straight and was constantly exhausted. I was depressed and anxious. I felt like a shell of myself.
My bloodwork came back time and time again showing just how depleted and unbalanced I was. I had no energy, no joy and there was no light at the end of the tunnel. I was in my own personal hell. I tried every type of therapy under the sun from hypnotherapy to psychotherapy to acupuncture -- the list goes on.
I then decided to take my health into my own hands; to trust my body and to open my mind to a new way of being. I completely overhauled my diet, changed my mindset, and started reading everything I could about resetting my body. It was not a quick fix and took years of learning, dedication, failure and change. I'm a forever student in learning to heal from the inside out.
It's not a diet nor a quick workout. It's a lifestyle that I chose because I wanted my life back.
I now want to help you!. It can be done. We will work together to have you feeling your best, loving yourself and feeling excited about the future.
