Ash Nel

Ashleigh completed her Sports Science Degree at the University of Pretoria in 2016, and then went on to do her Honours in Biokinetics at the University of the Witwatersrand in 2017. She obtained her Body Arts and Science International (BASI) Pilates Mat Teacher training qualification whilst studying at TUKS in 2016.

Ashleigh commenced her internship at The Centre for Exercise Science and Sports Medicine at WITS in January 2018, and then went on to complete the remainder of her internship at Siân Collins Biokineticist Practice in Hyde Park that same year.

Ashleigh has a keen interest in orthopaedic rehabilitation and loves working with children. She enjoys using Pilates as a base during her rehabilitation sessions. Other hobbies that Ashleigh enjoys are running, hockey, ballet dancing and Pilates. One of Ash’s most rewarding aspects of her career is seeing people leave her sessions so much stronger than when they first walked in. She believes that it is so important to rehabilitate someone’s injury as a whole and consider both emotional and mental aspects, not just physical.
