With a holistic approach focusing on root causes, Ashley guides clients to transformative wellness. Hear their stories and learn practical tips for restoring energy and vitality in her exclusive MysticMag interview.
How did you get into holistic health coaching and what sparked your interest in the field?
I became a Holistic Hormone & Gut Health Coach because of my own health struggles in my late 20s. I had brain fog, digestion issues, extreme fatigue, brittle hair & nails, and I started getting painful cystic acne. When many different medications over 3+ years only exasperated my issues, I knew something was going on inside my body that I needed to get to the root cause of. This took me on a long and frustrating healing journey but throughout it all I learned so much and absolutely loved the way I started to feel. I became the person my friends and family came to for health advice and decided to get certified to help others heal without as much stress and overwhelm.
What ideas do you base your coaching on?
I use a completely holistic approach with my clients. The goal is always to get to the root cause so my clients can heal from the inside out.
On top of nutrition, what other aspects do you focus on with your clients?
We do work on nutrition, which is very important, but other factors impact our health, like our stress, physical activity, sleep, relationships, career, creativity, etc. I use a whole-body approach rather than just focusing on one single symptom.
Can you share some success stories?
Of course! I’ll share some of the wonderful feedback I’ve got from my clients.
Meet Rana: “Ashley has introduced me to a revolutionary mindset: nourishment. No longer do I feel the pressure of achieving an elusive standard of “healthy,” burdened by societal expectations and unrealistic ideals. Ashley’s guidance has offered a down-to-earth life manual that, in all honesty, should be an essential component of our education. The transition from fixating on being “healthy” to embracing “nourishment” has been truly transformative. In a world filled with quick fixes and trendy diets, Ashley’s approach stands out as a beacon of sustainable and meaningful change. If you’re in search of a nutritionist who goes beyond the conventional, inspiring a genuine transformation, Ashley is the one. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone looking to not just be healthy but to experience true nourishment.”
Meet Margot: “This program has changed my life. It has helped me to slowly make more effective decisions for my body and focus on how I feel. It has also taught me not to minimize any symptoms and to really tune into what my body is telling me. Ashley’s program focuses on meeting each client where they are at, and learning how to add to your diet and lifestyle and adapt routines in order to enhance your health instead of restrict. She’s very kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable.”
Meet Brittany: “Ashley’s program was absolutely essential in developing awareness around what I put in my body and how to take a holistic approach to health. When I joined her program, I thought I was a “healthy” person… but as we peeled back the layers, we discovered many areas I could improve. The grocery store tour was eye-opening. Ashley gave me the space to speak from my own experience and then customized her approach based on my needs. At the end of the program, I no longer feel the need to “diet,” and I naturally gravitate towards whole foods that nourish my body. I feel better than ever, and my bloodwork proves it. Thank you Ashley for truly caring about your clients’ physical and emotional well-being!!”
What is, in your opinion, the most important advance you could give to people who are constantly lacking energy?
In my work, my advice is always personalized to each client so it is hard to give blanket advice but I would say make sure you are hydrating well with electrolytes, getting 7-8 hours of restorative sleep a night, and moving your body for 15 minutes a day. These are simple but impactful methods to increase our body’s energy supply at a cellular level.
