BIO

Ashley’s career in the health industry started when she attended Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy (OVCMT) and achieved her Wellness Practitioner Certification. This service allowed her to provide massage services. In 2010, she completed additional online education and became a Certified Personal Trainer and Fitness Instructor. This path has provided her with optimal and outstanding experience working with a large variety of clientele. Her experience opened the doors to then pursue an education in Kinesiology where she can further work with individuals in the rehabilitation to further increase her clients quality of life.

Since graduating in 2019 from UBCO with her Kinesiology degree, Ashley actively does research in her own time as well as participating in continuing educational courses to expand her knowledge in her area of expertise including women’s health. Ashley is empathetic, understanding, and easy to relate with.

Outside of work, you can find Ashley out on the cliffs rock climbing, on the rails mountain biking, in the alpine backpacking or on the slopes snowboarding.
