“Working with Ashelii has been a life changing experience, one that I am only continuing to benefit from a year after I began learning from her. Ashelii is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and supportive, as well as sensitive to the specific needs of my body. She not only worked with me around my very difficult work schedule, she did lengthy research on food and homeopathic remedies to aid the symptoms of the autoimmune issues I struggle with. Ashelii is so kind and nonjudgmental- qualities that helped me to be more open to the process of getting healthy- a journey that is naturally full of ups, downs, and occasional slip ups.  I always felt she was available to be a cheerleader, support system and encyclopedia of knowledge on food. Being able to text her from the grocery store with questions was always incredibly helpful. Although I was stubborn at the beginning to believe in the power of a healthier lifestyle, Ashelii was patient and encouraging, and pretty quickly I began to feel the benefit of our work together.

Months after I finished my weekly sessions, and one exciting day long food prep tutorial, I find the habits, confidence in myself, and positive associations with healthy eating and lifestyle that she helped to instill in me very much at the fore front of my life. As a graduate student with a very hectic and stressful schedule, eating cleanly, taking supplements, and utilizing de-stressing methods that Ashelii helped me to develop, are essential to my productivity, energy levels and management of anxiety.

I am deeply grateful to Ashelii for all of the care she puts into her work and her clients. Working with her is a lifelong investment into yourself that is well worth making.”

“Ashelii didn’t give me a plan and send me on my way the way most doctors and practitioners have the past 6 years. Ashelii listened to me, she made a plan that was specific to me- not a generic plan for all Lupus patients- a plan specific to Elizabeth. The best part? We talked and texted nearly every day for 3 months. She adjusted the plan based on feedback and results every week. She cheered me on and reminded me of how far I’d come when I hit roadblocks; Ashelii was everything you’d hope for and more. I walked away from this experience 3 months later knowing that not only did I learn about food, practices for better sleep, how to handle daily stresses, and practical exercises for countless other things, but I learned how to handle MY Lupus for a happy and healthy life. I explained it best to my Dad when he asked what it felt like to live with Lupus – Imagine waking up every day and feeling heavy, as if you’re walking through a fog every single day, having trouble with digestion, sleep, mood, weight, exhaustion etc. –

THAT was me with Lupus before Ashelii. Then I explained to my Dad how I felt while working with Ashelii-  one day I woke up and felt as if I’d made it to a clearing- no more fog, I felt lighter, happier, and overall felt human again… and I finally got to that clearing thanks to Asheliii. The past 3 months were absolutely necessary, but I know my journey isn’t over. I believe Ashelii and I will work together for years to come, because I will always want her support, her guidance, and her friendship.”

“Simply put, medicine wasn’t working, but collaborating with Ashelii DID. Since working together and changing my diet/menu, I haven’t taken a single pill for my acid reflux. She’s knowledgable and accessible. I enjoyed the process and the results.”

“HUGE thanks to Ashelii for putting us on a different path. My husband who was facing many health challenges, has lost excess weight and is feeling great. It has been so empowering for him to feel more in control of his health. This was in no small way thanks to Ashelii and her guidance and insight.”

“I was feeling extremely tired with little to no energy and unable to focus. In addition to high cholesterol and high blood pressure. My doctor prescribed high blood pressure medication that made me feel even worse. I had forgotten that I knew one of the the best contacts for holistic medicine and I called Ashelii.

Ashelii listened to my symptoms and we started with a customized one week diet, switching out a few foods, to see how I felt. Within that week I lost 8 pounds and felt a little more energized. I continued her guided way of eating and by the 4th week I had lost 15 pounds full of energy and my blood pressure and sugar levels are now normal. I strongly recommend that before you put yourself through medications with horrible side effects, you give Ashelii’s program a try. As Ashelii says it’s not a diet, but a healthy way of eating and living.”

“Ashelii is amazing and Healthy Kitchen Happy Life has been a true Godsend for our family. We have all benefited from the insight and guidance Ashelii has given us. A true lifestyle and not a fad. Highly recommended.”

I reached out to Ashelii on behalf of my daughter who has been suffering greatly from an autoimmune condition. Although she had the desire to follow a healthy and healing diet, it was daunting to figure out what that diet would be and how she would prepare and sustain it. Ashelii gave her a series of coaching sessions that enabled her to make good choices and to know what to do whether she was in a grocery store or a restaurant. My daughter gave Ashelii a lot of feedback about what she was currently eating and through these conversations she learned what was and was not working for her. Over time her health and her outlook made transformative improvements. I cannot thank Ashelii enough. Ashelii also met my daughter for a personal meal prep lesson that turned out to be a wonderful afternoon with great food and lots of learning. She now has the tools to keep her progress and her healthy life going.

“Working with Ashelii has been a blast and an honor. I have learned so much about myself and about nutrition and healthy living. Ashelii is knowledgeable on her craft. She was able to give me a very versatile meal prep guideline & menu that fit my needs and likes. It wasn’t just chicken and broccoli. I noticed my energy levels got higher too. Loving life and loving me. Thank you so much Ashelii.”

“When I initially contacted Ashelii, I was uncomfortably overweight. Additionally, I‘d just been diagnosed with Type II Diabetes, and had been struggling to focus and function at work. My work requires travel 85% of the time, so cooking and utilizing my kitchen isn’t a reality for me. At most, I am home just three days at a time, or one-week tops. I’d tried juicing, and some of the best cleanses & detox retreats that money could buy, but ultimately no results. It was hard to find someone to work with, considering my fluctuating travel schedule.

After speaking with Ashelii, she was able to offer me several Concierge services, which were more practical to my unique scenario. She prepared & delivered my meals when I was in town. Not only were the meals incredibly tasty, but my body felt immensely better when eating them. During travel, I’d send her my travel/hotel itineraries, and she’d send me a thorough list of the healthiest restaurant options, closest to me, along with detailed options of what to order off each menu.

Throughout our time working together, Ashelii has been 100% reliable, providing me with the utmost support and has delivered nothing short of 5 star services every step of the way. Within the first four months, I dropped 40 pounds and have gone back to pre-diabetic levels. Ashelii is extremely knowledgeable and was great at providing me the best resources. I look forward to retesting my blood work soon to continue my journey.”

“Working with her changed my life. She taught me what to eat, how to eat it, how to cleanse my system naturally, and what to avoid. I must admit, it was very, very difficult at first. But my eating habits are probably what landed me in this situation to begin with. Ashelii provided an easy, flawless and tailored service to me and my own specific needs regarding my condition. This was one of the things I fell in love with the most; it wasn’t a one size fits all. So this is how I was able to appreciate Ashelii’s knowledge and guidance even more. Ashelii is the real McCoy. Working with her was more like working with your best friend; She makes it this way by providing open communication through text, email, etc. It was amazing support.

Moreover, two and a half weeks into my eating regimen with Ashelii, most of my symptoms disappeared. We then worked on identifying the different aspects that were causing the remaining symptoms. By week 3, all of my symptoms were gone; completely. And no, I didn’t get paid to say that nor did I receive a discount for it either. It was surreal. How was this possible? I had been trying for months. It was absolutely life changing. I would strongly recommend Ashelii’s services to anyone that is trying to get their health on track naturally.”

“In September of 2017, I was dealing with health issues and generally not feeling my best. I reached out to Ashelii for help with my overall diet. I knew I needed to change certain eating habits for health reasons. My upcoming wedding in June 2018 was also another reason I wanted to manage my eating habits better.

My health was not good, I was the heaviest I had been in my whole life and felt low energy. Ashelii provided me with a specific 30 day food guide, with meal ideas based off what I already ate and what I could eat if I went out. I must admit at first glance I thought “omg I can’t do this, this is very strict and difficult.” Ashelii encouraged me to start slow by making some simple swaps overtime.

I started in October 2017 and I must say it’s been the best thing I have done for myself. I followed the 30 day plan strictly and started seeing results instantly. I noticed the changes in my mood, skin, weight and my overall health. My body started adjusting to the new eating habits and I didn’t have cravings for food I thought at one point I couldn’t live without!

Ashelii’s constantly motivated me and I’m very grateful for that. Its hard to make any changes in life but it’s great to have the support you need and Ashelii definitely provides that. It was also a great learning experience for me. I learned about certain foods and how my body responded to them.

I have continued to eat the same foods I did when I started in October and I not only look good but feel great. My wedding dress tailor was happily surprised that I had lost so much weight and inches off my body. I must note that my dress needed more work due to that but I feel amazing.

There will always be a bit more work to do but it’s part of my lifestyle now. It might sound cliche but It’s not about a quick diet to look better but an overall life change.

I have and would definitely recommend Ashelii’s services to anyone. Overall health is very important and Ashelii takes that seriously. She makes you feel comfortable and motivates you to be your best. Thanks Ashelii for all your help”

“I worked with Ashelii for a month and she was incredibly helpful as I tried to identify foods that were triggering my autoimmune issues and worked on creating healthy eating habits. She was always available when I needed her and offered compassion, knowledge, and accountability which is exactly what I needed.  I highly recommend working with her if you are struggling with eating issues in any way.”

I started working with Ashelii before getting pregnant. My goal was to eat healthier prior to getting pregnant and remove anything from my diet that were hindering me from becoming pregnant and would be good for mine and my future baby’s health. In just a short period of time I lost about 5 lbs and became pregnant almost immediately. The best part of Ashelii’s plan is that it is not a diet, it is just learning what foods are good for you. I also learned healthy alternatives to the things I liked to eat. The best part of it all too, was that I was able to maintain most of the meal plan during my pregnancy. Even postpartum, Ashelii’s meal plan assisted me significantly. She provided some healthy stews to prepare prior to baby’s arrival that I was able to keep in the freezer and heat up for quick meals. What I love about working with Ashelii is that her meal plan works for the individual. She takes time to get to know you as an individual and learns your likes and dislikes.  

I worked with Ashelii at the end of 2020 to help get my 3 year old daughter who is on the spectrum, to eat better and perhaps try some new things. During our time together Ashelii was so helpful and thorough with any question I presented. She gave me healthier alternatives to things my daughter loved and was use to and we even got her trying a few new things. Although getting our daughter to eat healthier was the initial goal, we had also read about children on the spectrum seeing improvements in their lives with a healthy way of life. We immediately started noticing subtle changes in our daughter. She was much more attentive, she had improved eye contact and she was improving in so many ways. Its like the fog that burdened her had been cleared and our girl was able to see us. It was amazing to watch. We continue on our healthy journey with Ashelii’s words of wisdom always in the back of our minds. We loved working with Ashelii and thank her for all she did to help us and our girl. We hope to work with her more in the future!
