Dr. Ashley is the Owner and a Chiropractor at Novo Chiropractic. She lives in Chaska with her amazing husband Julian, kiddo’s, Sydney and Jordan and doggies Creed and Maverick.

Dr. Ashley has always had an underlying passion for health, which became readily apparent while in college. A series of fortunate events unexpectedly lead her to become a Chiropractor. Dr. Ashley has always had a fascination with understanding WHY things happen and how they fit into the bigger picture. Dr. Ashley planned on using these personality traits to be the best family lawyer and to help families navigate the challenging family court world but…. through an interesting turn of events including an injury as a gymnast, a pretty severe car accident and a neurodivergent daughter, her path would turn to a neurological approach to healthcare that changed her life, the life of her daughter and ultimately the life of her son.

You see, the reason Dr. Ashley has always had a passion for health is because she thoroughly understands what it’s like to not have it. Although Dr. Ashley had an amazing childhood, the large majority of it was spent in a lot of pain from a serious concussion from an injury in gymnastics. Interestingly enough, this is WHY Dr. Ashley serves the population that she does. She FULLY understands all the struggles associated with chronically injured, sick and stressed kids, and she wants to help them avoid that life-style.

As Dr. Ashley began to peel back all the layers of her childhood, she discovered that her story was eerily similar to the ones parents were telling him in the office. Her daughters story was also becoming a common experience by patients. Her story goes as such:

Birth Trauma Colic and difficulty sleeping Constipation Stress and Anxiety Overworker Exhaustion

Her daughters story goes as such: Birth Trauma (vacuum extraction) NICU experience RSV Allergies Sensory issues Severe energy & focus issues in school Difficulty with transitions Challenges with socializing with or making friends

Her son’s story goes as such: She knew better from her first experience and delivered him with a midwife with no interventions but his cord was very tight around his neck at birth. He was adjusted immediately after the cord was removed and he took his first deep breath and started crying, his color normalized He was very successful throughout elementary and Jr High He was bullied in 8th grade and had a brain injury followed by an aneurysm (stroke) After brain surgery Dr. Ashley adjusted him and his consciousness came back, his sensory perception drastically enhanced, his pain level decreased and his improvement was well above expectation.

Dr. Ashley has never been satisfied with the status quo, and has always strived to go the extra step to ensure endless improvement. Although her childhood story of endless stress and sickness is increasingly becoming more common with children these days, it is far from normal. Once Dr. Ashley learned about the immense benefits chiropractic has to offer children that have these struggles, he knew the direction his career had to take.

It is a personal mission for Dr. Ashley to help pull kids in the Hopkins community out of this vicious cycle of stress & sickness so they (and their families) can live their best life possible.
