Meet The Team
Ashley Bruxer
Founder & Physiotherapist
Hi, I’m Ashley, a physiotherapist in Ottawa and the creator of Health Hook. I designed this directory with a dual purpose: to create a platform for my colleagues to showcase their skills and services, while assisting those looking for a service provider. My hope is for the directory to become your go-to resource, whether you’re a professional or someone searching for local health and fitness services. Thanks for checking out Health Hook!
How It Started
As a physiotherapist, the majority of my clients are referred to me, and subsequently I’m often asked if I know anyone who can help with *insert health issue here*. When I don’t have someone to recommend, I’m not sure where else to direct them. Which got me thinking, what options do professionals like myself have to promote ourselves? People are looking for us, we’re ready to help them, so how do we make it easier to find us?
When pursuing my own health goals, I crave specifics about my options. So just like anything these days, when I need info I go online. If you’ve ever tried to Google your way through this landscape, you quickly realize information is limited at best. Scouring through clinic websites, their staff bios, Facebook pages, and seeking out success stories from individuals facing similar issues to mine often proves to be a fruitless effort. For such a personal decision, deciding where to go for my next massage feels pretty impersonal. How do we make this information more available and easier to find?
Alas, Health Hook was born! A platform for health and fitness professionals to showcase their services and promote themselves, while providing a useful resource for clients searching for us.
