Ashleigh White

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

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

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

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