Meet Ashleigh – Your Canine Rehabilitation Expert

Born and raised in the deep south of New Zealand on a lifestyle block, I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember. This early connection to nature and animals shaped my lifelong passion for movement, wellbeing, and rehabilitation.

I obtained my Bachelor of Physiotherapy from Otago University in 2016, setting the foundation for my career in helping others move and feel their best. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in musculoskeletal and neurological rehabilitation, concussion management, and strength and conditioning—working closely with humans to restore function, reduce pain, and improve quality of life.

In 2023, my passion for physiotherapy expanded into the canine realm, where I pursued specialized training to become a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist (CCRT). This journey has allowed me to combine my love for animals with my clinical expertise, helping dogs recover from injuries, surgeries, and mobility challenges. Whether it’s a family pet, a working dog, or a canine athlete, I believe every dog deserves the best possible care to move freely and live comfortably.

I take a holistic, evidence-based approach to rehabilitation, ensuring each dog receives a tailored plan that supports their recovery, strength, and overall wellbeing. My goal is to help your dog feel their best while also guiding owners through the process—because when our dogs move well, we all feel better.

I’d love to help your dog on their journey to better mobility and wellbeing. Book a consultation today and let’s get them back to doing what they love!
