About Me

I’m Ashley Mousseau, a Precision Nutrition Level 1 Certified Nutrition Coach. I often get asked how I got into nutrition in the first place. It’s honestly a long story but I find that it helps people understand where my passion for nutrition comes from. 

So here it is.

When I was around the age of 22 I began a strugglesome journey that transformed my lifestyle for years to come. I began having a lot of digestive issues that seemed to get worse by the day. Something seemed off, it didn’t feel like it was just indigestion. I had severe bloating and abdominal pain every day. Granted, I had surgery for acid reflux in the past, but this was not the same feeling. 

Doctor after doctor, specialist after specialist there were no answers. I got told “It’s just IBS” or “it’s just reflux” too many times to even count. Doctors looked at me as if I was crazy, some even tried to prescribe anti anxiety medication. As if it was all in my head.

Fast forward 6 years…

12 specialists and one surgery later, I had found:

• I had an enlarged liver with no medical explanation.
• Multiple positive ANA tests without a diagnosed autoimmune disease. 
• Candida albicans overgrowth 
• And leaky gut.

I had worked with a nutritionist for several years to get rid of the candida overgrowth and heal my leaky gut. In this time, I had to cut a lot of things out of my diet, including sugar, caffeine, alcohol, yeast and 22 food intolerances. 

These were some of the hardest years of my life but it shaped who I am today. Though it took time and a lot of effort I can confidently say that I now have the tools and knowledge I need to keep myself healthy for years to come. I could not have done it without the support of my nutritionist and so I chose a path that led me where I am now.

I am proud to say I am a nutrition coach because I have wanted nothing more than to help people who are struggling with their health as I did for many years.
