I love the human body and all its quirks! I am a strong believer in holistic rehabilitation, and the need to assess the many different aspects that may lead a person to pain.
I trust controlled and conscious movements that stimulate the body into recovery. I enjoy working with people and educating them to understand their bodies and movements, while learning correct and safe techniques to exercise.
My background is in waterpolo, hockey, ballet and yoga. My career has seen me treat a range of patients, from neurological to orthopaedic rehab. There is no one field that I enjoy more than the other. The enjoyment comes from seeing patient’s adapt and improve with the correct dosage of exercise.
I enjoy traveling, being active and learning new things, and spending time with friends and family.

Ashleigh has a keen interest in orthopaedic rehabilitation and loves working with children. She enjoys using Pilates as a base during her rehabilitation sessions.
Other hobbies that Ashleigh enjoys are running, hockey, ballet dancing and Pilates.
One of Ash’s most rewarding aspects of her career is seeing people leave her sessions so much stronger than when they first walked in. She believes that it is so important to rehabilitate someone’s injury as a whole and consider both emotional and mental aspects, not just physical.
