Plant-Based in the Real World
Module Eight.
In case we haven’t met yet, I have a Masters of Public Health and Nutrition and have been a registered dietitian since 2012. But, it was after navigating my own journey with food-related GI issues and seeing the benefits of plant-based eating firsthand when I realized why I became a dietitian.
I wanted to help people thrive on a lifestyle filled with more plants and break down the walls surrounding what they eat. So I made it my mission to help others transition to a plant-centered way of eating through a holistic approach and intuitive eating practices.
My inspiration for creating this course was to provide you with an affordable way to learn how to eat more plants and improve your relationship with food. It’s all about banishing the idea of diets and learning to eat with mindfulness. It’s about progress over perfection. Joy over restriction.
Whether you want to be completely plant-based, partially plant-based, or you’re just plant-based curious...Everyone is welcome in Positively Plant-Based!

Rachel Jones
“Ashley has helped me see myself and food in a whole different light. She’s helped me stop focussing on the numbers and empowered me to define my worth far beyond the scale.
Before working with her, there would be times where I wouldn’t eat consistently and I was always skipping meals, which would cause me to binge later on. Now I prioritize my meals everyday and I view eating as a nourishing, positive, joyful experience. I’m also so much more confident planning and cooking plant-based meals.
Plant Centered Nutrition’s approach is the real deal for making a more plant-based lifestyle attainable, sustainable, and enjoyable.”
“I wouldn't be where I am today without Ashley. She has changed my life for the better and no amount of words can express what she has done for me.”
Kim Hawkings
“She looks at the whole picture behind a plant-centred lifestyle and helps you change your entire mindset around how you think about food.
She helps you do the emotional work that got you stuck in the first place, which makes all the nutrition and meal planning fall into place so much easier.
Now, I feel more like myself physically and mentally. I know how to listen to my body and create healthy food behaviors that make a huge difference every day."
“Ashley’s approach resonated with me immediately and it has taken my relationship with food on a complete 360.”
Katie Selvey
“I had a long history of weight issues and really struggled with keeping up a plant-based lifestyle that fit my busy schedule. I also had quite a negative relationship with food and unhealthy habits that were extremely difficult to move past. It felt impossible to climb out of that hole on my own.
Ashley’s approach has lifted me out of that hole. She’s helped me figure out my WHY for being plant-based and changing my relationship with food. I feel confident in my plant-centered lifestyle and the physical benefits I’ve gained are an added bonus. If you’re looking to transition to a more plant-based lifestyle, I couldn’t recommend Plant Centered Nutrition’s approach enough.”
“Ashley’s approach has empowered me to truly believe in progress over perfection which affects the way I build my plate, but it also affects so many other things in my life.”
This course is completely self paced so you can fit your lifestyle. That said, we recommend watching about one module per week and gradually implementing everything you learn. Each video module is about two hours total.
When you get the course, you’ll have immediate access to two modules. The remaining six modules will be released weekly so you can focus your time and energy on each module and not feel rushed or overwhelmed with the process. If you follow the “schedule” you’ll complete the entire course in seven weeks.
How much time do I need to dedicate to the course?
Next
Yes! You’ll have access to a private Facebook group where you can post questions for our team to answer.
You’ll also have the opportunity to connect with fellow members which is always motivating. It’s empowering to know you have the support of others in a similar boat!
Is there any additional support?
Next
If we were to sum it up in 3 key takeaways, you’ll learn:
1.) How to efficiently and effectively meet all your nutrient needs with a plant-based (or mostly plant-based) lifestyle
2.) How to plan and create satisfying meals that keep you excited about food (so you’re not eating the same thing over and over)
3.) How to create a more positive, loving relationship with food that doesn’t involve dieting or restriction
What will I learn with the course?
Next
Great question! You’ll do a lot of mindset work and journaling around limiting beliefs, your core values, and intuitive eating. So if those are struggles for you, then it could be really valuable.
The course also covers macros, micros, and supplements pretty extensively so it could be a great option if you want to expand your knowledge in that area.
Would this course be good for someone who has been plant-based for a while and is already in love with meal planning?
Next
Not at all! This course is excellent for anyone who wants to increase the amount of plant-based meals they eat in general.
Whether you want to be completely plant-based, partially plant-based, or you’re plant-based curious...Everyone is welcome and there is plenty to learn!
Do I need to go 100% plant-based?
Next
Nope. This course uses an intuitive eating approach, which means we focus on how your body feels rather than counting calories.
You’ll receive guidance on creating a balanced plant-based plate and figuring out how much food your body needs day-to-day, but you won’t be crunching numbers. You’ll learn how to trust your body without judgement, leave behind ideas of “good” and “bad” foods, and eat with freedom, not restriction.
