“Well, Ashley, when I began to write out a testimonial for you I realized (pretty quickly) that expressing the impact that working with you has had, and continues to have, on my life in around a paragraph was going to be a challenge as there is just so much I could say!

As I said to you at the end of our last session working with you has been truly life changing. As you know I used to be a complete magazine addict, for years I read countless articles thinking that they held within them the 'solutions' I needed to 'fix' all the things I believed were wrong with me, that were the reason I felt miserable. Then, quite by chance I read one that was saying something completely different . It was your mindful eating article and, although I didn't know it at the time, it was going to be the trigger for epic change in my life.

It is at this point that I would like to say thank you again. Working with you over those months brought about changes in me and  my life that at the beginning I couldn't have imagined happening ever, let alone in such a relatively short period of time. Thank you! Life is infinitely more enjoyable when not lived at extremes.

Working with Ashley has positively and profoundly affected every aspect of my life. She listens with true empathy and understanding and provides insight, encouragement and knowledge. What she does is invaluable and the passion, sincerity and integrity with which she does it is inspirational.” (S.T.)

“I used to be very anxious & stressed out about my body image & food and had lived most of my life in disordered eating.  Ashley helped turn this paralyzing stress into a renewed confidence of myself, which allowed me to ‘let go’ of the constant worry of how I had to look, perform and cope in this world.  Her coaching sessions provided fresh opportunities to discern the true nature of my life, to become clearly aware of where I am, where I really want to go & most importantly, what I need to do to get there.

 In just a few months, I saw my disordered eating drop away & my anxiety levels decrease.  I wake up most mornings excited to be alive because I see the gifts of life now.  Thanks to Ashley, I am now allowing myself to enjoy this beautiful journey of life……” (Michelle F.)                                                                                                         

“In a society obsessed with fad diets and food 'tricks' I had become confused and unsure about what was 'good' for my body.  Ashley helped me establish a healthy relationship with food in a physical, mental, and emotional way. As I  clear away my very loud emotional blocks connected with food I am finding that my body will tell me exactly what it needs I can listen.  I am relearning how to communicate with my body.

 I have found that working externally on my food choices while simultaneously looking internally at the root of my food fears is leading me more and more towards a harmonious balance in my life.  Working with Ashley has been invaluable in improving the overall quality of my life.” (Sonja B.)

“I am the one who wants to thank you for changing my War Against Food in two short hours of being with you!  To the outside world I am a very composed sort... but on the inside,  my brain was constantly going around and around, literally obsessing about how it could be that despite all efforts I can’t seem to lose weight.

Too much time has been wasted looking at the scale and signing up for other people’s programs on what I should be doing - according to them! As I said, since seeing you, my scale has gone away on a very high shelf in the closet and hasn’t touched the floor in over two months. I now sit down to eat , focus on what I am doing and only eat what I love when I feel like it!  No rules, no distractions, no guilt...well very little at least!! I guess one can’t undo twenty years of guilt in two months eh???” ((B.M.)

“In October 2009, I decided to make changes in my life and I realized that, in order to be successful, I needed help.  This is when I heard about Ashley.  She helped me focus on me, the person that I want to be and who I now know I am.  In our weekly sessions she has helped me develop strategies to organize my life, cope emotionally, and even cook for myself (to name a few.) Since beginning with Ashley, I feel happier and more self-confident than I have felt in years.” (Jacquie C.)

“Through Ashley's coaching I have been able to identify and develop a genuine and authentic sense of self. The coaching process is enabling me to more deeply understand the experiences I have and find true acceptance of the events within my life's journey. The empowerment Ashley has helped me to kindle, allows me to take full advantage of each learning opportunity I now encounter-no matter how challenging. I am truly grateful for this process.” (Emma C.)

"I had been thin all my life...until a year ago. That's when I started gaining weight and getting worried because of an increased, uncontrollable appetite I had never experienced before. I didn't know what was happening with me. I started to understand the feeling of all the people that wants to lose weight, but they are just unable to control their cravings. But in less than 3 months, Ashley helped me to understand the cause of my hunger and eliminated it, I've lost 5 kilos and stopped thinking about food all the time!, now I'm back to my normal life!” (I.R.)

“I have made more progress in the six months that I have worked with Ashley than I ever did in over ten years of traditional therapy. She has helped me to accept the past, focus on who I am in the present, and move on with a clear sense of who I want to be in the future and how to get there - all while celebrating the progress I've made in the process. And, most importantly, Ashley has helped me to accept that there is no such thing as perfection - we are already exactly who, what, where, and how we are meant to be. I cannot thank her enough!” (Vanessa S.)
