As a Functional Nutritionist, I Conduct personalized investigations using your bodies signs and symptoms coupled with Lab test results to uncover the root cause of your health challenges.

I’m Ashlin, a certified Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP) based in sunny San Diego.

My passion for Holistic Nutrition began after years of working long hours at high stress, demanding, corporate marketing jobs. I’m a type-A, ambitious woman and as I climbed the corporate ladder my endless drive ultimately led me to hit a wall. I experienced mysterious health issues such as fatigue, weight gain, mood disorders, loss of motivation and brain fog that doctors described as a symptom of “getting older.” Refusing to believe this was my new normal, I started investigating how nutrition can help heal and prevent these types of chronic health concerns. 

I experienced my first life-changing moment after overcoming an oppressive, toxic work situation immediately following a devastating break up. Feeling lost and beaten down, I took a year off of work, traveled the world and recovered from the trauma. During this time my passion for wellness became magnified and I decided to enroll in the Nutritional Therapy Association program as the first step in changing careers. 

As I graduated, I was faced with a tough decision. The outbreak of the pandemic formed an uncertain future, so I delayed taking on a new career path and continued to grind away at my corporate job. The stress, grueling hours and negative work environment started to take a toll on my wellbeing. The endless list of symptoms such as brain fog, extreme fatigue, digestive issues, TMJ, headaches, depression and anxiety became so debilitating I could barely get out of bed let alone perform my job. My immune system had kept several stealth infections at bay (for who knows how long) until I was exposed to toxic mold in my home. The mold was like the straw that broke the camel’s back and with my immune system completely overwhelmed everything bubbled to the surface such as parasitic pathogens, Lyme co-infections (Babesia and Bartonella) and Epstein Barr (EBV). 

During my journey I learned that nutrition was just the beginning and that healing requires a holistic approach. I focused on detoxing and methylation pathways, circadian rhythm and grounding, movement, stress management, emotional healing, and removing environmental toxins to provide my body with the energy needed to heal itself. I also came to the realization that my job was not providing purpose in my life and was not aligned with my passions – something which greatly influenced my health decline. I believe I was intended to go through these struggles to push me to pursue my passion of nutrition and wellness by mentoring others through their own personal healing journeys.
