As a mum of two children…

She understands the challenges of balancing busy family life, getting food on the table & meeting the ever-changing needs of kids. She knows what it is like to spend time making a meal, just for it to be called ‘yuck’ & how to respond to this. She is passionate about listening to clients & translating complex nutrition into practical strategies that meet a child and family’s needs.

As an Accredited Sports Dietitian and athlete…

Ash has performed at representative level for both gymnastics and touch football. She was a gymnastics coach in her youth, understanding the commitment it takes as a child athlete and as an adult returning to representative touch football after having two kids.
