What makes Conscious Culinary

Conscious?

  • Raised in a robust Italian family, Ashley was taught from young age that food is love and is meant to be shared as such.

  • Tasting the vibrant, rich, earthy, crunchy, beta-carotene flesh of a fresh picked carrot from the soil in West Glover, VT spiraled Ashley's love for quality, locally sourced and seasonal ingredients to feature in her menu items.

  • Curating meals filled with the highest vibration ingredients, Ashley consciously flows love and life force energy into every meal she creates.

  • Ashley's love of travel and appreciation for understanding culture through food has her menus abundant with a variety of offerings from around the globe, honoring food traditions and customs from some of her favorite places.

  • You are what you eat. Ashley envisions her customers enjoying conscious, present, and mindful consumption of each of her meals. Savor flavors. Feel textures. Witness vibrancy. Smell delight. And hear your tummy grumble in anticipation for every single bite.

  • Ultimately, Conscious Culinary is the result of Ashley's Food Activism; of her passion to help you reclaim your love of eating and to discover the goodness that comes with nourishing your mind, body, and soul.

Ashley DeAcetis

Chef + Creator

Ashley is a soul-led, dynamic and innovative, professionally trained chef and credentialed fitness professional, reiki practitioner, Mother, and wanderlust adventurer.

She graduated from The Culinary Institute of America in 2011 weighing 240 pounds and was diagnosed prediabetic with high blood pressure at 21 years old. This diagnosis fueled Ashley's health journey where she lost 80 pounds, became a Certified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach (NASM + PN1), and kicked off a full-time fitness professional career in the spring of 2018.


Combining her love of good food with her knowledge of fitness, nutrition and fat loss - Conscious Culinary was born to help support clients, family and friends on their health journeys. Chef Ashley recently had her very first child, a son named Journi, who is already being trained as her Sous Chef and who ensures every meal is full of love.


As with any major life transformation, Ashley began to discover and recreate herself in a completely new way. This led her to crave more connection, more presence, more meaning and more love in her life. Feeding people in a loving, conscious and nurturing way is her love language.
