Dr Ashleigh van Heerden, Chiropractor, Johnsonville

Hi I’m Ashleigh

Growing up, I always found chiropractic fascinating. Despite my interest, I always assumed that you only needed to see a chiropractor when you have back pain. However, on a whim, I decided to get checked at The Chiro just before going to uni to study psychology. After my first-ever adjustment I knew then that I wanted to be able to help others similarly so without a second thought, I moved to Auckland to begin my chiropractic journey. 

Throughout my five years of studying chiropractic, I have deepened my understanding of the human body and witnessed firsthand chiropractic’s transformative effects. From enhancing my hockey performance to boosting my energy and even improving my neck's range of motion, the benefits have been remarkable.

Although I've moved around quite a bit, Wellington has always felt like home, so I'm thrilled to now be working here. Outside of work, you'll find me spending time with loved ones, playing hockey, or hitting the gym. And whenever I can, I love going on road trips with friends to explore more of the beautiful New Zealand.
