Ashlea grew up by the seaside in Brighton and has always loved animals and any activities in the water. When she is visiting her family home, she enjoys taking her two dogs out to the beach and for swims in the sea.
In January 2018, Ashlea spent 6 months in Australia and South East Asia. Whilst away she volunteered at animal sanctuaries looking after dogs, elephants and monkeys she also gained a SCUBA diving qualification.
Ashlea started at Hartpury University in September that year, to study Bio Veterinary Science and from there her love of caring for animals grew and she found an interest in Hydrotherapy.
Ashlea has been working at Wye Valley Canine Hydrotherapy since 2021 and has since completed her Level 3 certificate in Canine Hydrotherapy. Outside of work, Ashlea plays for a local netball team and enjoys taking her paddle board out on the river Wye
