Kia Ora! Welcome to my About Me page.

I'm Ash (but some people call me Ashy/Ashey, hence the asheycakes blog name).

I was born and raised in the beautiful Ōtautahi, Aotearoa, and moved to Melbourne, Australia, in January 2022. I have chronic fatigue, IBS, and suspected POTS, so I know a thing or two about being chronically ill. We're also currently investigating some unusual blood markers so stay tuned LOL.
