Sam, Office Manager
I was born and raised here in Sudbury, Ontario into a sport oriented family, who happen to be my number one priority in life and I am extremely lucky to have had them help shape me into the person I am today. Growing up I developed a better sense of what it means to be healthy - inside and out. I like to stay active by hiking, yoga and especially walking my dog. I also like to keep my brain active by painting or playing piano, and I’m always up for trying something new.
My working life has mainly been in the restaurant industry and although I have enjoyed working in that field of customer service, I am thrilled to be working in an environment that better suits my personal values and wellness goals.
I’m quite excited to continue to broaden my knowledge of chiropractic care, not only for myself but to share with patients, all the while maximizing their experiences here at Vita. I hope to make each visit for them feel like home!

Julie, Chiropractic Assistant
I grew up in Elliot Lake Ontario, and the north is part of my blood. I have lived in Sudbury for the last decade and I feel blessed to call it my home.
Having now raised my family, I am happy to be branching out into a career where I can learn and assist others in achieving their wellness goals through the amazing benefits of Chiropractic care.
If asked to describe myself, I would say that I am your typical creative type. I love the arts, especially singing, acting, writing and photography. I am also an avid home cook, and am really enjoying learning how to create meals that not only satisfy my cravings for delicious food, but are healthy too!
I enjoy a good road trip, a long book, and a brisk walk. I think these three things help keep my stress levels manageable.
I can’t wait to get to know all of the Vita Chiropractic And Wellness family, I am so excited to be here!

Ashley Ross, Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist
|
Ashley holds an Honours Bachelor of Science degree in Human Kinetics from Laurentian University and a Masters of Science in Physiotherapy from Queens University. Ashley is Rostered with the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario to perform acupuncture and internal pelvic exams. She is a member of the Women's Health Division with the Canadian Physiotherapy Association, Ontario Physiotherapy Association, and in good standing with the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario. |
|
Since starting her career, Ashley has always strived to create a specific and individualized treatment plan for her clients. She uses a variety of manual therapy, soft tissue release techniques, exercise prescription, acupuncture and education to help her clients achieve their goals. Ashley has experience working with a variety of injuries, neurological conditions, geriatrics and pelvic floor dysfunctions. She became interested in addressing pelvic floor concerns after giving birth to her daughter, when she realized the gap in women’s health postnatally. This caused Ashley to broaden her skill set and begin taking courses to help other women improve their quality of life. Her goal is to encourage women to talk and seek help about issues that they would normally feel too embarrassed to discuss through education, exercise and empowerment. Ashley wants to change the belief that women just need to live with their pelvic floor issues because they “had a baby”, “are having their period”, or “are getting older”. In many cases, there is a dysfunction in their pelvic floor and with treatment their symptoms can greatly improve and/or resolve.
In Ashley’s spare time she enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. They enjoy being outside, hiking and exploring the outdoors. She enjoys traveling within Canada and abroad. In 2011 / 2012 she taught English in Thailand and hiked to the base camp of Mount Everest. Her goal is continue traveling and return to backcountry camping with her young family.
