Hi! My name is Ashley (she/her) and I am the owner and founder of Ashley Beale Nutrition, PLLC.

In my journey of becoming a Registered Dietitian, I realized that there is no one-size-fits-all to health. In fact, the more I learned, the more I started to question what I thought I already knew about nutrition and health. When I came across the weight-inclusive approach to eating, the road felt more clear. This approach incorporates a model that challenges the myth of "good" and "bad" foods. There is emphasis on body diversity and the different ways someone can lead a healthy lifestyle. Most importantly, this approach prioritizes wellbeing. (read: If your "healthy" food choices are causing you stress, is it really that healthy?)

This spoke to me.

In practice, I had the opportunity to see how this approach changed the lives of some of the folks I was working with. We have all likely experienced some form of shame or judgement for our foods choices, health and/or body. I have seen first hand the impact of that shame on our capacity to nourish ourselves. For something as necessary to life as nutrition, shame does not have a place at the table.

When working with my clients, I incorporate a compassionate and non-judgmental approach. We all have food stories that deserve to be listened to. I have had the privilege of seeing the strides clients can make with the space to heal and move forward. My goal is to empower my clients to cultivate a positive relationship with food and body, free from shame or guilt.
