Meet the Soulful Sprout Team
Ashleigh Norris, CNP, NNCP
Founder & Certified Nutritional Practitioner
Ashleigh Norris is a Certified Nutritional Practitioner (CNP) and Natural Nutrition Clinical Practitioner (NNCP). She graduated with honours from the Institute of Holistic Nutrition in July 2017 and is a member in good standing of the Canadian Association of Natural Nutritional Practitioners (CANNP), where members can be verified. She is also a Certified Restorative Health Practitioner (RHP). Ashleigh is the founder of The Soulful Sprout Holistic Nutrition Inc. in King City, Ontario, and has supported more than 2,600 clients worldwide since 2017.
She works with women, men, and children, in person and virtually, with a focus on digestive health, hormone health, thyroid and autoimmune concerns, metabolic health, and preconception support. Her approach combines food, lifestyle, functional lab testing (including GI-MAP, hair tissue mineral analysis, and DUTCH hormone testing), and self-care.
Her own health journey, including an autoimmune diagnosis at 19 that is now in remission and thyroid cancer at 27, shaped the way she practices. It taught her how it feels to search for answers, and it’s why she takes the time to listen to each client’s full story. She is a keynote speaker, and in 2025 she served as a student advisor at the Institute of Holistic Nutrition.

Julia Fiocca, CNP, NNCP
Certified Nutritional Practitioner & Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P)
Julia is a Certified Nutritional Practitioner (CNP) and Natural Nutrition Clinical Practitioner (NNCP), a graduate of the Institute of Holistic Nutrition, and a member in good standing of the Canadian Association of Natural Nutritional Practitioners (CANNP). She is also a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P) and holds a Bachelor’s degree in Health Promotion from Queen’s University. She completed her practicum at The Soulful Sprout in 2023 and is now part of our team in King City, Ontario, working with clients in person and virtually.
Julia’s path into functional nutrition began with her own experience of chronic gut issues and burnout while working in tech marketing. That experience led her back to her roots in health promotion and into holistic nutrition training, and it shapes the way she listens to clients today.
She takes a compassionate, evidence-informed approach, helping people understand the connection between gut health, hormones, and metabolic function. Julia meets clients where they are and focuses on realistic, sustainable nutrition and lifestyle changes that support long-term health.

Questions about our team and approach.
-
Ashleigh Norris and Julia Fiocca are Certified Nutritional Practitioners (CNP) and Natural Nutrition Clinical Practitioners (NNCP), graduates of the Institute of Holistic Nutrition, and members in good standing of the Canadian Association of Natural Nutritional Practitioners (CANNP). Holistic nutrition is not a government-regulated profession in Canada, and CANNP can verify the membership of its practitioners.
-
We look at how your digestion, hormones, stress, sleep, blood sugar, and daily habits interact, and we build your plan around your health history, goals, and lifestyle, not around a single symptom.
-
Functional nutrition looks at how different body systems work together and uses your health history and, when it makes sense, functional lab testing to personalize food, lifestyle, and supplement recommendations.
-
In our Renewed program, every client completes the GI-MAP stool test and hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA). Based on your health history, we may add a DUTCH hormone test, an Organic Acids Test (OAT), or mycotoxin testing. These tests are not diagnostic. We use them alongside your history to guide your nutrition and lifestyle plan, and we encourage you to share results with your doctor.
-
We may recommend supplements as part of your personalized plan. They’re chosen based on your health history and results, and they’re purchased separately through our online dispensary. Please check with your doctor before starting new supplements, especially if you take medication.
