Ashley Roehrig, MS, RDN, LDN

After a 15-year career in banking I decided it was time for a change.  Looking back, I’m so grateful that I allowed myself some time to pause and really consider what work might align with my values and skills.  I knew I wanted to do something in nutrition, but I had concerns about the nutrition industry and traditional approaches to nutrition counseling. 

Thanks to my mentor and friend, Annie Goldsmith, I found myself stepping into a specialty in eating disorder treatment valuing weight neutral care, a trauma informed approach, and somatically-oriented interventions.

First and foremost, my clients are the experts on their own bodies.  My hope is that I can create a space for them to tap into their inner wisdom which is so much more valuable than the “cultural firehose” of diets, quick fixes, and narrow definitions of health.  I think my clients appreciate my desire to connect with their stories, meet them where they are, and walk beside them.  I try to create a sense of safety for whole person that allows them to explore how life experiences live in their bodies and impact their capacity for nourishment. 

are seeking a non-diet, weight neutral approach to care having suffered at the hands of the diet industry and our weight-phobic culture.  My clients have experienced a variety of health challenges and eating disorders that express themselves in so many ways.

I have been privileged to have excellent training and a strong professional community that have nurtured my desire to provide a safe, affirming and inclusive environment where individuals with diverse gender and sexual identities are respected and supported.

Clients often share that they feel deeply understood in our work together. They appreciate my empathy, my ability to notice what’s happening beneath the surface, and my attunement to moments when things feel overwhelming or hard to articulate. I’m naturally sensitive to shifts in energy and nervous system responses, which helps me adapt sessions in a way that feels grounding and supportive.

I enjoy my family, my dogs, teaching group fitness at the YMCA, and volunteering in the community.  I especially appreciate the opportunity to be part of Charlotte Trans Health and work with other providers to support a community rich in gender diversity.
