About
Hey, I’m Ash!
Sri Lankan, living in Dubai.
Getting to share these words with you means a lot to me.
This is where I bring it all together: faith and lifestyle, my own designs and illustrations, food and recipes, and the ordinary, quiet parts of life in between.
God has been part of my life for a long time, and sharing His word has always been something I’m passionate about. I wanted a space that didn’t split any of that apart, because it was never separate for me.
If this gives you a little joy, a little encouragement, or a word from God on an ordinary day, then it’s doing what I built it to do.
My PCOS story brought me to a point where I had to surrender myself, cyst, surgery, and all, and that changed my life. It opened my eyes to real food, hormone health, and low-carb living. I’ve written that story out in full, if you’d like to read it.
After educating myself, I truly believe food plays a big role in our health. What we eat and how we eat really matters. Just like I have been able to improve my gut health and hormone health, I want to encourage you to eat real, healthy food. You will be able to see a massive improvement in your health too.
Faith & healing: one whole journey
Through that trial, God shifted my perspective completely.
Scripture reminds us that our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. Caring for our health isn’t about vanity or perfection; it is an act of stewardship and gratitude for the life we’ve been given. When we nourish our bodies, rest our minds, and honour God with how we live, everything begins to align.
Somewhere in that recovery, looking for answers turned into something I genuinely loved. I started reading everything I could find about hormones, about nutrition, about what a holistic approach to living actually looks like. Nobody handed me a plan, so I did my own research, tried things, and slowly learned to listen to what my body was telling me. What started as desperation quietly became a passion, and I’m still following it. I’m continuing to study nutrition and hormone health, working towards qualifying as a health coach, so that one day I can walk alongside other women in this with more than just my own story.
Walking this life with God has given me peace.
I want to be honest about where that leaves me: my story doesn’t have a neat ending, because living with PCOS isn’t something with a clear finish line. I’m still walking it. Still paying attention to what I eat, still healing my gut, still learning. If you want the whole story, cyst and consent form and all, I’ve written it out here.
Why I started this space
That is the heart behind Ash Carnie. This is me, my life, and my lessons shared openly with you.
I didn’t want to walk through any of it alone, and I don’t want you to either. Live this life with a lot of grace toward yourself. It takes a little discipline and a lot of encouragement to make changes for the better, and you’ve got this.
Whether you are navigating your own PCOS or hormonal challenges, looking for simple and delicious low-carb inspiration, or simply seeking a little encouragement to walk with faith through a difficult season, I am so grateful you are here.
Grab a warm cup, take a breath, and make yourself at home ✨
“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?”
What guides this space
Honest, not polished
Real life doesn’t come with perfect lighting. I’d rather write something true than something impressive.
Body and soul, not either/or
Caring for one is caring for the other. It’s why the recipes and the prayers live in the same place here.
Slow over rushed
Good things take time. I try to write, and live, at a pace that leaves room to actually notice life.
