About

It was the year 1985 when I found myself landing in a foreign land which ultimately became my home: the United States of America. At age 27, I had escaped communist Poland in search of a better place to call my own. Once I had settled down and started anew in the USA, I met my husband, and together we raised two children, Julia and Alex. Julia is a wonderfully multi-talented individual who is overflowing with love for music and life. Alex, a gleaming beam of sunshine, is a man who was born with Down Syndrome. 

It was Alex's birth that initiated my adventure into true healthy living. I lost myself in books and spent years deepening and refining my knowledge on the subject. Driven by my desire for Alex to live a healthy life without relying on medication, I visited numerous doctors: conventional, alternative, and dietitians to name some. I had an undeniable gut feeling that this was possible even though everything and everyone around me told me otherwise. 

However, as I was streamlining all of my energy and effort into uncovering the pathway to health for Alex, I forgot about myself and my own needs... I resigned from myself. I stopped taking care of myself in every way, welcoming disharmony into my life. I gained weight, even obesity. As a result of this, I experienced physical and existential discomfort, as well as valuing myself as a woman. I was going through serious battles and struggles with myself, along with which came many attempts at discovering who I authentically was. 

My awakening took place in 2011, a time in which I decided to take matters into my own hands. I bought a machine that filters and fortifies tap water into "Kangen" water (in my opinion, the best machine available at this time from the company, Enagic). After two years of using the machine and noticing obvious improvements with myself and my son, I became a distributor of these machines and an expert on the subject of drinkable water.

In addition to all of this, I began to search deeper within myself in order to understand who I am, why I am here, and my place in life. I wanted to be my own person as a happy and fulfilled women who supports others, one who is searching for her answer to health and a peaceful life. An important stage in this process was the Landmark Education course in New Jersey. I opened my eyes wide and saw the world as if for the first time. Although the sight of it was scary at first, I knew this was my path and that I, Ashka, am to walk this path! 

After taking part in the course, things felt easier. I simply put one foot in front of the other and walked forward. In 2016, I became certified in integrative nutrition from the IIN (Institute for Integrative Nutrition). Then, in 2018, I completed two other important programs: The New Healers Master Coaching Program and The Nourishing Thyroid Health Program. 

Each step that I took, no matter how big or small, was guided by trust and patience. I knew that I was being lead to my goal while simultaneously recognizing that the journey is also the goal. I passed through each stage with a sense of calmness despite my doubts and the ups and downs. The most important thing was that I was able to find the strength and bravery within myself to stand back up after falling down. An element of my daily routine that became particularly essential was meditation and yoga. I began to practice Kundalini Yoga, and I still do to this day. I took part in numerous meditation programs with the intuitive knowledge that this practice holds the secret to my healthy soul and body. I realized that it could be the key to the deep inner happiness which we are frequently unaware of. Yes, all of this is possible!

From 2004-2018, I was also the co-owner of a dental laboratory which was made up of 12 employees. While managing my business, I also nurtured my family in a traditional sense, raised two fantastic children, and completely found myself! 

Looking back on my life, I know that it could not have been any different. Today's version of myself is eager to share my experiences and knowledge with you because I've seen first-hand that a beautiful life is possible and accessible if you just reach out your hand. 

At 64 years old, my passion is people with support and help if and when they need it. I am here for you if you just don't know where to begin with your transformation, and if you wish to change your life and diet habits in order to live happier and healthier. It certainly is not easy, but with a little bit of effort, determination, and outside support, it is possible to reach your goals. I want to accompany you on your journey and, if you allow me to, teach and support you.
