A native Floridian, I live with family in Boca Raton. You can usually find me (hand standing) by the ocean with my husband, photographer Vince Lanz, and our two boys. When I'm not by the water I work as an RN at my local hospital. Dabbling in yoga since 2013, it wasn't until a year later that I developed my daily personal practice which eventually led to me becoming a 200hr RYT. The magic has even spread to my kids who join me on my mat and often make appearances on my Instagram account.

When I was 12 years old I was diagnosed with Lupus. It was at that point that I made the decision to not let this chronic illness define my life. I started eating healthy and working out as soon as I was well enough to do so. Health and fitness quickly became the foundation upon which I built my life. This is how I have been able to battle Lupus and it’s how I will continue to battle it. I started personal training when I was 20 years old and was introduced to CrossFit by a friend not long after. When I finally dropped in at a CrossFit gym, I did a 10min CrossFit Benchmark workout named "Cindy" and was instantly hooked. I loved being able to push myself outside of my comfort zone to see what I am truly capable of. Everyday I wake up feeling good and being able to train for competitions the way I do, I know I am winning over Lupus. I refuse to ever let it control my life.
I use to have a very poor diet and I lacked good nutritional knowledge. Once I realized how bad the food quality was here in America with everything being genetically modified or processed in some way it really made me upset and I wanted to consume the best quality foods I could find. Becoming a personal trainer has opened my eyes to living a healthy lifestyle. Not only do I want to build muscle and look good on the outside but I want to feel good and take care of my body on the inside. If you don’t have good health then you really don’t have anything. Having good health and living a healthy lifestyle is at the forefront of my priorities and I want to teach that to others.

She has also obtained a Nutrition and Health Coach certification from the Institute of Transformational Nutrition. Like many, she did not always live the “healthy lifestyle.” Seven years ago, her parents’ unhealthy lifestyle choices led them to each having a heart attack. Both underwent extensive surgeries to try and repair the damage. Her mother underwent open-heart surgery, and father had two stents placed in his coronary arteries. Following the surgeries, both developed type 2 diabetes. She started to research their nutritional needs to help them defy their odds. Despite the stress from assisting her parents with their needs, and their unwillingness to change their ways, Ashley found nutrition and fitness to be enjoyable. It was then she decided to make a lifestyle change for herself by eating healthier, exercising at least 4 to 5 days every week and taking on a Degree in Nutrition and a Personal Training Certification with the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA). She also interned and worked under celebrity nutritionists J.J. Virgin and Cynthia Pasquella, as well as Christine Bullock, fitness model, nutrition counselor and celebrity trainer. Between Ashley’s personal experience with her parents’ health and lifestyle challenges, her educational accomplishments and studying under the best fitness & nutrition experts, she is determined to help other’s live a more vibrant life here at Vibrant Health.

Born and raised in South Africa, I grew up with a deep love for exploration and adventure that was fostered by the wildness of my African upbringing. My love for movement and passion for physical education led me to train in many disciplines like gymnastics, capoeira, martial arts, parkour, animal flow, calisthenics and rock climbing. These all influenced the development of the comprehensive training system I live by today. As a teacher and practitioner of Parkour, I embrace a lifestyle and philosophy of overcoming obstacles. I am a firm believer in expression through movement, health and vitality that is grounded in functional fitness and clean living. Altruism expressed through community involvement and service – as the motto of Parkour states – “Be strong to be useful.” Vibrant Health embodies all that is necessary for the body to function the way it was intended to. It is the answer to the unfortunate state of our food supply and stands a titan in the arena of healthy food supplements. Max Vibrance is my favorite product and provides my body with absolutely everything it needs, fueling my adventures!
