Moving my body genuinely makes me happy and feeling good; I believe everyone deserves to have this feeling. I truly believe exercise is the best medicine when prescribed and performed appropriately. Helping others to improve their ability to move and function, eliminate pain and enhance their quality of life is so fulfilling. Working collaboratively with other allied health professionals has really enabled my clients to manage their health and I think it’s the key to successful self-management.
Before skipping the pond from New Zealand, Ashley graduated with a Bachelor of Sport & Exercise Science in 2014. Optimizing the health and wellbeing of others led her to complete a Masters in Clinical Exercise Physiology (Hons) in 2016. Ashley believes that knowledge is power and uses education to improve client engagement and understanding of how exercise can be adapted to benefit their health. Ashley uses an evidence based approach to encourage positive lifestyle habits, manage long term health, movement, and pain through exercise in a fun and safe environment. When she’s not at work, Ashley enjoys Pilates and exploring Brisbane for great food and wine.
