She has many tips to share and stories to tell regarding traveling on a raw diet and will talk about how this diet has influenced her passions: climbing and art.

Ashley is a passionate, determined, inspiring individual who loves to help others in their journey to health. After her talk, there will be an opportunity to ask any questions regarding her journey, passions, and approach.
