Ashley Joan Robson | Who I Am

My Mission

I’m Ashley Joan Robson, a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, a Pilates/yoga instructor, and dancer. I provide professional nutrition coaching services for people struggling with fatigue, hormonal imbalances, and body composition goals. Growing up in a world full of conflicting information, I understand how hard it can be to remain at optimal health. For many years I was also struggling trying to find the solutions to feel and look my best until I enrolled and graduated from The Canadian School of Natural Nutrition. I am here to help guide and educate you on how you can reach your most desired health goals. Holistic nutrition focuses on the interconnectedness of the mind, body and spirit while balancing the top body systems through nutrition, supplement, and lifestyle support restoring overall health and wellness.

Whether you are looking to manage symptoms of a specific condition or just want to improve your overall health, I can help you feel and look your absolute best. Learn more about the services I offer below!

My Story

Growing up I have struggled with my weight. At the age of 8 I started to gain weight around my stomach and was very self-conscious about it. I asked my doctor about it, and he told me to eat lots of fruits & vegetables. A friend gave me a Pilates video and that summer along with jogging I trimmed down. I continued to thrive as a dancer but always had to watch what I ate. I remember being 16 and my dance teacher telling me that I looked like I had gained weight around my stomach. I couldn’t figure out why my dance friends could eat the same thing, but they didn’t gain weight.

During my dance college years at SUNY Purchase in New York, my 1st year I had Mononucleosis. I remember no matter how much sleep I got the night before it didn’t matter because the next day, I would feel exhausted. This was a very challenging time for me as in college we had dance 4-6 hours per day. My health issues started to slowly worsen every year during college with no periods, more fatigue, headaches, acne on my forehead, and weight gain.   

In 2019 I decided to stay home and take the year off from college. I began seeing doctors of all kinds in the USA and Canada including MDs, functional medicine doctors as well as naturopaths. This is what led me down the path of food, nutrition, and healing. I began to uncover and understand the connections between lifestyle, food, exercise, and health. In 2021 I was diagnosed with Lyme disease and in 2022 I enrolled at The Canadian School of Natural Nutrition to further my studies in health and nutrition. I am happy to say that with all my gained knowledge, nutrition, and lifestyle changes, I feel 100 times better than I did in my years at college.  

Reflecting on my 20+ years of dancing I was not fully educated on nutrition, how to eat to improve performance, how to increase energy levels, and how to lose weight healthily. I now have a strong desire and mission to help others receive the guidance they need that I didn’t have growing up. I want people to have plenty of energy throughout their days, reach their body composition goals, know what/how to eat as well as understand how lifestyle affects health. 

Ashley’s Organics

Organic Non-toxic Beauty Care Products

Many of our conventional body care products are full of toxic and harmful chemicals that negatively impact our health. I created Ashley’s Organics as a clean, non-toxic alternative that provides many health benefits to our skin and bodies. I currently make organic salves and lip balms. If you are interested in purchasing any products, please contact me.

Healing Calendula Salve

Salves are a soothing medicinal ointment mixture that is applied to the skin to heal imbalances. For this salve I soaked calendula in jojoba oil and put it out in the sun to extract the medicinal properties of the calendula. Calendula is great for many skin conditions, reducing inflammation and protecting the skin barrier. Beeswax and shea butter hydrates, soothes, and calms the skin. Vitamin E oil helps preserve the salve and has antioxidant properties, neutralizing free radicals and lowering inflammation. I used lavender, bergamot and ylang ylang essential oils. This specific combination deeply helps relax your nervous system but also has a very uplifting and refreshing scent which is great for anyone with low mood and anxious thoughts.

Healing Calendula Face Serum

Healing calendula face serum – I call it liquid gold ✨This serum has a blend of many oils including calendula infused jojoba oil, rosehip seed oil, prickly pear oil, sea buckthorn seed oil & vitamin E oil. These oils help ease overall inflammation of the skin, while softening, soothing, hydrating, moisturizing & brightening the skin barrier. I added lavender, chamomile & ylang ylang essential oils a beautiful blend to help calm the nervous system, ease anxiety/stress while improving overall mood & sleep. I can’t wait for you to try it!

Creamy Peppermint Lip Chap

All natural, organic lip chap with the aroma of peppermint. Beeswax deeply hydrates and nourishes the lips. Coconut oil contains fatty acids to keep the lips moist while providing a protective barrier. Coconut oil also contains lauric acid which has antimicrobial properties. Vitamin E oil keeps the lips plump, heals, and moisturizes. Peppermint essential oil is soothing, stimulates circulation and helps heal cracked lips.

Lifestyle Support

Movement Classes

Health & wellness is not just about what you eat but also how you move your body. From the age of three I have been expressing myself through movement. I have gained an incredible amount of movement knowledge throughout my 20+ dance years, as well as Pilates/yoga training and would like to share my passion for movement with you. My movement classes are a series of low-impact exercises that build strength, improve posture, and support the mind-body connection. You will work through a series of exercises to strengthen and lengthen the muscles, using your breath to help facilitate movement while calming your nervous system. Props will also be used to help support and assist with some exercises. If you are interested in Pilates flow privates, please reach out to me, I would love to connect with you.

Supplements

Conventional farming practices have overtime depleted many of the nutrients to grow nutritious produce.

Since our soils are depleted of nutrients, our food then may become depleted. Supplements can be added to make sure you get enough essential nutrients to maintain or improve optimal health. Living in our modern society, everyone is constantly stressed which lowers many essential vitamins and minerals that our bodies need including B vitamins, Magnesium, Zinc, vitamin C and D. Supplements are similar to nutrition, where everyone has their own individual needs depending on their own unique lifestyle and circumstances.

Fiber

Fiber is the portion of plant derived food that cannot be completely broken down by the digestive system.

It instead passes into the colon where it becomes food for the beneficial bacteria in our gut. Since the gut microbiome is considered our second brain this is a crucial component for optimal health. Many of us don’t get enough fiber in our daily diets leading to irregular bowel movements, blood sugar spikes, fatigue, high cholesterol, and inflammation. I try to get at least half of my plate in fruits and/or vegetables each meal to get my daily fiber intake. What kind of fiber rich foods do you eat?

Matcha

One of my favourite drinks to start the day! Coffee can be very tasty but overtime can be very hard on the adrenals…

…negatively impacting sleep and can also lead to leaky gut. Matcha contains L-theanine an amino acid associated with several health benefits including improvements in mood, weight, cognition while reducing overall stress and anxiety. I also add in a little maple syrup and organic cream to make it that much tastier.

Hydration

Did you know that the human body is made up of 60% water? The type of water you choose to drink is essential for optimal health.

Drinking poor quality water can actually lead to dehydration. Tap water contains many chemicals/contaminants including heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, and xenoestrogens just to name a few. These over time can create a lot of health issues including unbalanced hormones, leaky gut, fatigue and weight gain. I have been drinking structured spring water for the last three plus years and will never go back! Spring water contains minerals and electrolytes for the body to function optimally. Adding lemon/limes to your water is also a great way to boost hydration, increase energy and get in some vitamin C.

“I’ve been dealing with health and hormone issue for years and have seen countless doctors but Ashley is the only one who knows what I’ve been through and has changed my life! She listens and takes into account every detail to perfect the best plan to help heal your body! I’ve noticed a huge change in how I look, feel and my mood! I’m so thankful for her help and couldn’t have asked for better advice and lifestyle plan!”

– Kaylee

“I had some concerns with overall energy and fatigue. I didn’t realize how in-depth the questions would be but also realize you can’t be helped if they don’t know everything about you. Ashley explained things clearly as we went along. She’s dedicated to helping people and her personality reflects that. I followed her suggestions for changes to supplements as well as diet. After around 8 weeks Ashley did a follow-up visit where we went thru all the questions again. There was definitely improvement in certain areas. My energy level has increased. I’m very happy with her consult and will continue on this healthier path.”

– Debbie

“Ashley is such a gift to have in the nutrition world. Her background in dance, Pilates, and holistic nutrition allow her to assess each individual with a whole body approach to reach their health and performance goals. Additionally, Ashley’s line of natural skin care salves are probably the best smelling skin care products I have ever used!”

– Jenessa

“I had the pleasure of working with Ashley for a month and can confidently say she is not just a nutritionist but a true guide on the path to overall well-being. From our initial consultation, Ashley demonstrated an exceptional ability to create a genuine connection. She took the time to understand not only my dietary habits but also my lifestyle, and my emotional and spiritual well-being. This holistic approach immediately set her apart, making me feel seen and heard in a way that went beyond the conventional understanding of nutrition. I wholeheartedly recommend Ashley to anyone seeking more than just nutritional guidance. If you are looking for a true partner on your journey to holistic well-being, someone who understands the intricate dance between mind, body, and soul, Ashley is the one. Thank you for guiding me towards a healthier, more balanced life!”

– Alli

“For the past year I have really struggled with food and what I am putting into my body. I was feeling inflamed, frustrated and tired, constantly, no matter what I was doing until I got help from Ashley. She has changed my life for the better by listening to my goals and helping me achieve them with zero judgement. Ashley really takes her time to get to know you and what your body needs, and is extremely patient with helping you understand the changes you are making. I have noticed a positive change in my mood, energy, and confidence and I am so excited to continue my wellness journey with an educated understanding with Ashley’s help.”

– Alexys

“Working with Ashley this past month was so helpful. My health & wellness journey is one I’ve wanted to hone in on for a while now, but struggled with where to start. Ashley created such a beautiful and attainable plan for me to meet all my goals in a way that didn’t feel overwhelming. I’ve already begun to feel the positive shifts in my day to day life in just one month! From better sleep to higher energy levels and more, I feel supported by my new knowledge I’ve gained from working with Ashley. “

– Morgan

“As I’ve gotten older my body is not responding the way it used to. I had been struggling with my energy levels, my sleep, and feeling frustrated with not knowing what to eat in order to feel good. After working with Ashley for the past month I’ve seen changes in my energy levels, sleep, diet, and positivity. She covers all the bases; such as the emotional, physical, and mental parts of nutrition. Any concerns you may have she discusses them with you without judgment. I found myself looking forward to our meetings and wanting to learn more and more! I recommend Ashley to anyone who is frustrated with their current health journey as she will help guide you through it all!”

– Taylor

Working with Ashley for one month has opened me up to so many new things and questions revolving around health and wellness. I came into this space with an open mind and wanting to help benefit from learning about nutrition as a dancer. I feel as a dancer we never really get taught about good nutritional foods, mindfulness thinking, and vitamins and supplements. Not having a lot of previous knowledge about nutrition I have always been interested in it. Ashley has given me so much advice and insight on keeping a health routine with mind, body, and soul. I feel as though even with only a month of session I have gained so much more knowledge that I can now take into my dance training and can share the knowledge I have gained with my peers. So grateful for all of the information Ashley gave me and I think it is such a great resource for many other dancers and anyone really to have.”

– Delaney

As a college dancer going into the performing arts industry I put my body through a lot. When I found Ashley, I loved that she was a former dancer herself. I knew she would understand the lifestyle I live and be able to help me in ways others couldn’t. After the first consultation I was sold by not only her care and understanding, but her desire to help. She is a joy and a light to work with, which sold me right away. She worked specifically on what my body needed and applied her techniques to my lifestyle. She provided recipes, recommendations, and strategies that I never would have known about without her help. She truly brings so much to the table with her knowledge and genuine care for your mental and physical well-being. I highly recommend her coaching to not just dancers but anyone and everyone looking for health and wellness guidance.”

– Sam

“My experience working with Ashley taught me so much about nutrition and what my body can benefit from! I am so thankful for the knowledge she provided me as I’ve been able to tie in new foods and products into my day to day life that are better for me. I’ve seen benefits including increased mood, less fatigue and better energy with switching some of the foods recommended! She is lovely to work with and I’m extremely grateful for all that I’ve learned!

– Sari

“Working with Ashley was an absolute delight. Her kindness and expertise shine through in every interaction. From the moment we began, Ashley’s deep understanding of health and wellness was evident. What truly impressed me was her ability to tailor her guidance to my individual needs, providing me with gradual steps towards a healthier lifestyle that felt manageable and sustainable. Ashley’s support and encouragement throughout the process was invaluable, and I felt empowered to make positive changes that truly benefited my well-being. If you’re seeking a compassionate and knowledgeable guide on your journey to better health, I cannot recommend Ashley enough. Thank you, Ashley, for your exceptional dedication and expertise!”

– Tamara

“It is incredible just how little we know of ourselves when it comes to health concerns/issues and how to deal with them – at least, that’s how it was for me. Having found Ashley during a difficult time was truly a Godsend. I was experiencing numerous health issues, with eczema/anxiety/lack of energy being the main ones. I would research constantly on Google with little to no answers, but what knowledge Ashley provided me is something that I will carry for the rest of my life. Knowing what I do now through her has helped me take control of how my body reacts to certain things and how to combat them if ever things went out of whack. She really takes her time in getting to know all about you and devises tried-and-true nutrition planning tailored to your specific needs. I would highly recommend Ashley to anyone. Not only are her holistic nutrition services top tier, but you can tell just how passionate she is with helping people. You will not regret working with her. The only thing you will regret is not having worked with her sooner. Thank you so much, Ashley!”
