Ashley is a cutting-edge dietitian provider of Culinary Medicine and Gastrointestinal Nutrition which she provides out of our Kenmore office. Culinary Medicine combines food science, research, and culinary techniques to make satisfying, health-promoting meals. Food as medicine has fewer side effects than traditional medications, tends to be more affordable, and uses traditional foods that can be incorporated in new ways that are metabolically beneficial due to their anti-inflammatory and healing properties. Her passion is to help patients with gastrointestinal diseases work towards and achieve remission as well as restored quality of life. She also holds additional specialty certifications in Health Coaching and Motivational Interviewing to help patients on their journey. Ashley is also advancing her practice with intense coursework through the Integrative and Functional Nutrition Academy (IFNA).
