The Heart Behind My Work
Hi, I’m Ashlene. I’m a non-diet dietitian who helps people rebuild trust with food and with their bodies.
Our bodies are extraordinary forces of nature, yet diet culture and quick fixes have buried that truth under rules, shame, and “shoulds.”
Food isn’t just fuel — it’s joy, pleasure, tradition, and connection. My approach brings together mindful eating, gentle nutrition, and sustainable lifestyle changes to help you reconnect with your body’s innate wisdom. The goal? To feel at ease with food again — nourished, empowered, and free from guilt or obsession — so you can create a life filled with energy, confidence, and joy.
Does this sound familiar?
Counting every calorie, then feeling out of control when cravings take over.
Holding onto old jeans, hoping to fit into them again someday.
Dreading the number on the scale each week, or feeling guilty after enjoying food you love.
Food can start to feel like a battle between rules and cravings — leaving you frustrated, ashamed, and stuck in the same cycle. Here’s the truth: the answer isn’t another cleanse, diet, or quick fix. The clarity and peace you’re searching for have always been within you — waiting to be uncovered.
