Hi, I’m Ashley.
For the last 12 years, I had the privilege of supporting adults living with prediabetes, diabetes, and related cardiometabolic conditions as a Registered Dietitian (RD) and Certified Diabetes Care & Education Specialist (CDCES) at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) in Portland, Oregon.
I’m excited to share that I’ll be bringing that same evidence-based, compassionate approach to my own insurance-based private practice, Ashley Klees Nutrition, beginning October 1st!
Throughout my career, I’ve seen firsthand how challenging and overwhelming managing chronic health conditions can be. The constant question of “What can I eat?” often adds another layer of stress and confusion.
My goal is to work alongside you to better understand the nutrition science behind your condition and take meaningful steps toward realistic, sustainable changes that fit your life. Small steps add up, and progress doesn’t have to be perfect. I’ll be here to support you every step of the way.

Insurance coverage

Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) services are covered by many health insurance plans for individuals with prediabetes, diabetes, and related metabolic conditions.

Please contact your health insurance company before scheduling your appointment to verify your benefits. Please ask the below questions:
Is Medical Nutrition Therapy covered for my diagnosis?
For those without a diagnosis: Do I have benefits for preventive nutrition counseling or wellness nutrition visits?
Is Ashley Klees Nutrition LLC in my network?
