about ash
Ashley (aka ashcooks) is a social worker by day and a self-taught chef in her off hours, who has specialized in homeopathic plant-based skincare products and organic cooking since 2006. Ashcooks manifested from analyzing the inextricable correlation between our diets, physical and emotional well-being, and Ashley’s love for… well, food!
In the kitchen, Ashley takes an imaginative and playful approach to explore vegetables, grains, roots, herbs, and various cultural dishes to get creative! Ashley loves challenging herself to re-creating some of her fav dishes at home, no matter how complex.
With her skincare line, Ashley takes a mindful and spiritual approach, procuring the finest ingredients, channeling the power of nature to make fragrant butters & oils that are free from chemicals, synthetic fragrances, parabens, phthalates, preservatives, or any additives.
As Ashley makes a daily practice to live a balanced and healthy lifestyle, and as she learns about new ingredients, recipes and lifestyle choices, Ashley uses her social media platform to share with others (a true social worker at heart). In 2012, Ashley created the @ashcooks Instagram page and in 2015, ashcooksla.com, was launched. Ashley firmly believes that nature is medicine and the things put on our skin and inside our bodies have the power to heal.
If you’d like to join Ashley on this journey, you can start by challenging yourself to try a new vegetable or fruit, choosing the vegetarian or vegan option when you eat out, removing harmful chemicals from your home and skin-care routines, being open-minded, and researching the ways that your diet affects your body. Oh, and most importantly, be kind to yourself and enjoy the process!
Be healthy, be well!
