About Ashley
When it comes to my nutrition philosophy, I truly believe food is medicine. The food we consume has the power to strengthen our bodies and enhance our overall well-being. Food is commonly a centerpiece in most of the big moments of our lives whether it be our own health, culture, religious beliefs, social activities or celebrations. My passion for nutrition started with the opportunity to interact with farmers and learn about a “farm to table” lifestyle through my family’s business in the Georgia State Farmer’s Market and the gift of both American and Latin culinary influences in my upbringing. These experiences led me down the path of curiosity to learn how what we consume influences our health, and serve and empower others by sharing what I’ve learned so they to can benefit from the power of good nutrition.
Approach to care
As a dietitian with over 14 years of experience working in hospital based, outpatient, and public health settings, I’ve worked to hone my skills to empower others with knowledge and skills to build healthy habits around nutrition that are science-based and practical. Nutrition is a key component of health, nourishment, pleasure and our lifestyle. There is no one size fits all. It is my goal to work with you to personalize a nutrition plan that is meaningful, sustainable, and curated to best meet your needs.
Your first session with Ashley
During an initial session, my main goal is getting to know you and learn about your health journey. We will complete a nutrition assessment and discuss your medical history, lifestyle, and other relevant topics so that I can get a clear understanding on how I can best support you! As time permits, we will focus on developing one or two realistic and achievable goals for you to work on ahead of our next session.
