Welcome! I’m Ashley, a registered dietitian specializing in gastroenterology nutrition. I help people navigate digestive health challenges and build a healthier, more peaceful relationship with food.
About Ashley
I’ve always been intrigued by how the body works and how food affects our health — probably because I grew up watching my mom navigate IBS, and saw firsthand how much gut health can shape daily life. That early exposure stuck with me, long before I understood where it would lead.
I didn’t always have the best relationship with food myself, and becoming a dietitian helped me heal that. Then I was diagnosed with microscopic (collagenous) colitis, and suddenly I was the one figuring out how nutrition could manage my own gut health — not just in theory, but day to day, meal to meal. That experience deepened my passion for GI nutrition, and it’s part of what shapes the empathy I bring to my clients — I understand what they’re going through because I’ve faced it myself.
When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me out exploring what drew me to the Pacific Northwest in the first place — I moved out here for my dietetic internship and never left. Originally from the East Coast, I’ve fully fallen for life out here, whether that’s with a good book, in the garden, or on a long walk.
My Approach to Care
Digestive health is deeply personal, and there’s no one-size-fits-all plan. I take the time to understand your symptoms, your history, and your goals, then work with you to build a nutrition plan that actually fits your life. Whether you’re managing a chronic GI condition or simply want a healthier relationship with food, my approach is rooted in evidence-based care, compassion, and respect for your body’s signals.
