Chloe was born in South Africa and moved to Perth with her family when she was seven years old.

She has always loved sport and team games and participating in such environments has been a major part of her life, with swimming and basketball her most competitive activities.

Chloe discovered remedial massage therapy a few years ago after an injury to her back. The therapy she received was successful, and from that experience, she decided that she wanted to be a massage therapist.

She liked the approach to healing and the benefits of trying to relieve pain and promote wellness through remedial massage therapy.

After leaving school she studied at North Metropolitan TAFE and gained a Diploma In Remedial Massage.

Chloe is now looking forward to meeting her new clients and provide individual treatment according to their needs.

Chloe loves running on the beach with her dog Fudge, and is a regular gym member.

When at home she likes reading, watching movies and baking cakes for her sisters and getting together with friends.

Along with a desire to have a career where she is able to help people and improve their quality of life, Ashlee chose physiotherapy because it also combines her interests in human biology, health, fitness and science. She also loves it because it means she can chat to people and it doesn’t involve her sitting behind a desk all day!

She completed her physiotherapy degree at Curtin University, graduating in 2013 and now loves being able to help people become more independent, pain free, stronger and to be able to do things they didn’t think possible. “I love empowering each client to get the best out of their body.”

She has a keen interest in knee and running related injuries and enjoys rehabilitating clients after motor vehicle accidents in the clinic and watching them progress to active gym rehabilitation. She also gravitates towards posture related aches and pains in the form of ergonomics, headaches, low back pain and TMJ/jaw pain.

Besides being a professional bouquet catcher at weddings, she loves an adventure and has bungee jumped in New Zealand and paraglided across the Austrian alps!
