I feel healthier, stronger and have more energy.

Thank you for breaking down nutrition into easily understandable concepts.  In the City of Clearwater Wellness class, you taught us how to make simple changes to our lifestyle which translate to major positive steps toward a healthier lifestyle. Prior to taking the class, I did not put an emphasis on nutrition and how it impacted my health.  I tended to eat a lot of processed foods; ate fast food 3-4 times per week; drank 4-6 diet sodas daily; and approximately 70 ounces of water daily.  I did not plan out my meals on a weekly basis, nor did I put an emphasis on eating vegetables with each meal.  I would eat 2 or 3 meals per day.  I was overweight and had nagging issues with a post-operative knee. I have recently made positive changes to my health due in large part to what I have learned from you.  These positive changes entail the following: Taking 2 teaspoons of fish oils daily Taking nutritional supplements daily Planning weekly meals of...

You actually gave me the courage to start weight training.

Thanks so much for the class this morning.  You're absolutely awesome.  I leave your classes feeling completely excited and ready to take on the challenges and ready to apply the lessons into my life.  You're a great speaker, great listener, and awesome mentor. You, yes you, actually gave me the courage to start weight training.  I've learned so much in the two classes I've attended and look forward to the next one.

What a difference!

I had for years babied my right knee after fracturing my tibia. It was sore and felt unstable after three surgeries, including the removal of much of the meniscus. I was resigned to the fact that it would always be uncomfortable and hold my attention when being active. Six months ago, I began training in the gym under Ashleigh's watchful eye. She created a graduated weight and exercise program customized for me and my situation. We worked together 3 days a week for 8 months until I  recently moved from Florida.Yesterday, I repeated a hike which I had done just before I had met Ashleigh. What a difference! It wasn't until after the hike that I had the realization that for the entire hike, over various and rocky terrain, I had not had a single thought about my leg. It was stable, it was strong, and it was NOT on my mind! It wasn't sore, I didn't have to ice, it was normal!  It feels great. Ashleigh, thank you...

Ashleigh’s enthusiasm, support, and encouragement are amazing!

Ashleigh’s enthusiasm, support, and encouragement are amazing!

As a Division I track and cross-country runner, I was suffering from nagging aches and pains, fatigue, and even serious injuries- all preventing me from training and competing at the level I needed to. I was presented with the option of retiring from my sport.  Realizing quitting what I love to do was not an option, I was ready to make any changes necessary to get healthy and be in top shape again. Ashleigh helped me implement a new nutrition program as well as a lengthy stretching plan to assist in my flexibility. I’ve been working with Ashleigh for only 6 months now and am running close to my best ever again. I have more energy in workouts and my recovery time has been phenomenal. With Ashleigh’s help I have been able to remain consistent in my training and finally have confidence that I can exceed in my sport again. She has taught me how important proper nutrition and recovery are to my overall training plan. Ashleigh’s enthusiasm, support,...

Ashleigh makes you feel like she is with you every step of the way.

I have been Ashleigh’s client for a little over a year now. My objective, when I started, was to lose weight and to give up a 2-pack-a-day smoking habit. On multiple occasions, before I met Ashleigh, I had attempted to achieve both goals. But, working on my own, I repeatedly failed. By discussing my objectives, we decided our goals were to become smoke-free within 30 days and to lose 30 lbs over an extended time. I say ‘our goals’ because Ashleigh makes you feel like she is with you every step of the way. Ashleigh explained that with healthy dietary changes and some weight training a few times a week, we would be successful. She set up a weekly diet plan and an individual workout schedule. Initially we met twice a week. I have been smoke-free for a year now and have surpassed my original weight loss goal! Ashleigh’s knowledge of the human body’s nutritional needs and fitness benefits is amazing. She has acquired a vast education in both....
