Get to Know Me

Hello, I'm Ashlie, a passionate advocate for holistic well-being, blending my expertise is health coaching and life coaching to foster lasting happiness and positive change.

​

Background:

 At the age of 12, my journey into fitness began, influenced by my father, a Marine. Gym sessions became our bonding time, and I developed a love for weight training, finding confidence and empowerment in the process. As a redhead, childhood wasn't always easy, but the gym became my escape, my place to be alone but also somebody.

​

Bodybuilding Journey:

By 22, I ventured into bodybuilding, securing a remarkable 3rd place in my very first competition. For the next 5 years, I embraced the competitive realm, even hiring a renowned Olympian athlete as my coach. However, my pursuit of acceptance through bodybuilding led to overcompensation, creating a divide with not only family and friends but especially other women. Women can be competitive.

​

The Transformation:

Taking a break from competitions made me realize I had lost touch with my genuine connection to the gym but most of all FOOD. The identity I had crafted as a bodybuilder had consumed me, and I had decided to shift my focus. This wasn't working for me anymore, I was losing myself. This marked the beginning of my exploration into foods that heal. I was able to rediscover the joy and importance to a healthy body inside and out.

​

Passion Unleashed:

Educating myself on nutrition, experimenting with recipes, and delving into psychology and habit change became my obsession. This journey culminated into certifications in health coaching and life coaching, aligning with my goal to share the possibility of happiness and well-being with everyone.

​

Happiness is not just a dream; its a tangible reality we can create together.
