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.
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 2026!
Throughout my career, I’ve seen 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.
