I left my corporate career to fix my own injury. Now it’s my mission to share what I’ve learned to help athletes train and compete at their best, without pain

Hi, I’m Ashley. I love working with athletes of all levels, from elite down to recreational, on all aspects of their performance, but especially their biomechanics.

At age 14 I suffered a neck and shoulder injury from rugby, which became recurring and would get in the way of my sport and training. After 10 years of frustrating treatment through traditional healthcare options, I decided there must be a better way. I’ve spent the last 10 years learning everything I can about movement mechanics, addressing muscular imbalances, fixing motor patterns, injury prevention and rehabilitation. Along the way I’ve worked with world class athletes and coaches, and helped hundreds of people get out of pain and achieve fitness goals and personal bests. And my shoulder has never felt better.

How did I get here? I studied Biology and Biomechanics at Oxford University, I spent 6 years as a management consultant, working with big banks, FTSE100 energy and telecoms companies before making the switch to the fitness industry in 2015. Since then I’ve completed several courses and qualifications in personal training, coaching and functional movement for therapy and performance. I’m now proud to work with world class athletes to improve their performance through movement mechanics and coaching, but also have the privilege of teaching other coaches to do the same through mentorship and education with The Training Stimulus.
