Hello! My name is Ashley Williamson. I’m a mother of two, military spouse, and veteran, living my best life in the great state of Texas. I have overcome thyroid disease and chronic pain syndrome to transform from an over weight mom to bikini competitor in a few short years. I took that knowledge that I gained and become a certified personal trainer. I am now lucky enough to go to work every day managing a 30,000 square foot gym full of motivated people. I find joy in the small things, a nice walk outside, a workout with a friend, and a cold glass of calorie free sweet tea. Southern Breeze Sweet Tea is a staple in our house, especially when I’m preparing for a show. It’s so convenient and delicious, trust me, you’ll love it too!
