I went to see Ashleigh this afternoon for a foot problem I've had for years but hadn't got around to getting sorted. As soon as I walked in, she made me feel very welcome and comfortable. She's a lovely caring lady who is very easy to talk to. Throughout the consultation, she made me feel at ease and we chatted about feet and life in general. She gave me advice regarding what products to buy to get on top of my foot problem. She doesn't sell products herself unlike a lot of other podiatrists who sell them on at an extortionate mark up price. I left feeling as though I'd made a new friend. I would highly recommend her. She is a credit to her profession. Thank you Ashleigh. More...

I went to see Ashleigh this morning for a foot problem that I’ve had for years but have just put up with until now. I saw the great reviews on here after seeing a Facebook ad for one of her services and thought I would finally get it treated. I’m so glad I did. Ashleigh is a really lovely, warm and friendly person who put me at ease and dealt with the issue quickly and efficiently. She is very knowledgeable and also gave advice on products to keep my feet in tiptop shape going forwards. Ashleigh is also refreshingly honest and will not give you false advice just to make a quick buck! I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any of my friends � More...

I was so worried about going to see a chiropodist.I have neglected my feet for years and I thought the only way I was going to save them was to amputate. Then Ashleigh came to the rescue. Not only did she put me completely at ease, she is also a miracle worker and a fabulous person to boot. She didn’t even flinch at the sight of my hideous plates of meat. I now have Beautiful nails, and feet I’m proud to take on holiday. Thank you Ashleigh, you are a star. More...

She did not charge me and said she did not feel comfortable to charge simply to tell me she can not help. very honest and trustworthy business ethics. i said i did not mind paying for her time and she said if i wanted to pay i could make a donation to one of her chosen chariest, which i have done.

I am qualified GP who confidently recommends and endorses Ashleigh. I booked an appointment for my 17 year old son, to have his infected and painful ingrowing toe nail surgically removed, i chose the Herts Wellness Centre based on excellent reviews i read online and hearing very positive feed back from my patients. I could not be happier, Ashleigh made my son feel so comfortable while giving him his LA and the procedure was carried out flawlessly, Ashleigh was not aware i am a qualified Doctor of 22 years and she demonstrated to me the highest possible care and her knowledge was impressive. I was further impressed that she uses top end equipment and instruments too. It is a breath of fresh air to experience good practice an deal with a health care professional that takes pride in her work and in my opinion a perfectionist at what she does. I personally have never seen such a great result, my son was healed up in 2 weeks and the toe looks like nothing was ever done to it! well done Ashleigh and keep up the good work. we need your service in Herts and i will confidently refer and recommend you.

She also sorted out a corn I had and some hard skin on my feet, I feel like a new women, its funny how you learn to live with something that is uncomfortable and only realise how bad it was once its gone.

Not only did Ashleigh deal with the toe that day (and provided follow up care appointments over the next few days), she also made sure to keep in touch with me (with lots of advice on how to care for it) to ensure the toe recovered well from the procedure despite the fact that I left for university the week after (rather than the usual regular appointments most would have).

My feet are verruca-free for the first time in a few years, all thanks to Dr Ashleigh. I found her to be extremely professional, whilst being friendly at the same time. She has an ability to put people instantly at ease, perhaps in part as a result of her many years in the NHS.

She spoke knowledgeably about the options and, having had similar treatment before, I can honestly say that this time it was significantly less painful. Dr Ashleigh uses a more modern technique than I'd experienced before (no great big canisters along the lines of diver tanks!). And it was far more effective. Previously I'd gone back time and time again whereas this time I only needed four visits. I was very impressed and of course pleased.

I have no hesitation in recommending this great local business. More...

I went to the Herts Wellness Centre because I'd heard from a friend that they were really friendly and very good at sorting out feet! As a keen flip flop wearer my feet had got quite a lot of build up of hard skin on them. I was a bit embarrassed about it and sometimes my feet can hurt after a lot of walking from the build up. They really were lovely and made me feel at ease straight away and relaxed. I don't really like my feet being touched as they are quite ticklish. It was a great experience and very professional. I didn't feel stressed at all about the podiatrist touching my feet and they didn't tickle. The result was amazing my feet looked like new and they haven't felt sore since. I am definitely going to go back. It's a really treat and I am so happy to show them off this summer for sure. I couldn't recommend them highly enough and I would encourage everyone to go. I agree with my friend they are very friendly and very professional. More...

I was referred by my GP to Ashleigh after being let down by my regular Podiatrist. First point, I called my previous Podiatrist mid afternoon, paralysed with pain and was told there were no appointments left, I tried to reason and say I was desperate but was told there was nothing more they could do- disgraceful for people in the health care profession!

My GP recommended Ashleigh who said he had heard good feed back and trusted her with his own patients/referrals he had so she was my best bet.

From the initial point of call to Herts Wellness Centre over the phone I was greeted with warmth and made to feel so welcome and reassured that she would do her best to ensure I was out of my pain, Ashleigh very kindly agreed to see me outside of her hours which was past 8pm by this point in time, not only was I grateful to her but her treatment has surpassed any podiatry treatment I have EVER received over the years, I will not let any-one apart from Ashleigh go near my feet and have since recommended her to my mother who praises her as much as I do, it just goes to show who is in the caring profession and who actually cares and Ashleigh certainly does go the extra mile.

I first called Ashleigh at the Herts Wellness Centre on a Thursday in April 2016. Although she tried her hardest to fit me in her clinic, to no avail. Instead, she referred me to her colleague in Scotland, Dr Max Volino, whom could accommodate my last minute arrival. So, by the following Monday, I was in Scotland, receiving two treatments of Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment (HBOT) per day for a week. Ashleigh put me in touch with the right people whom could help me. That was selfless.

Side effects of HBOT I experienced:

1. healing of a cold sore after 4 sessions,
2. sleep improvement, longer and better quality.
3. feeling calm- your body and heart for first time in my life doesnt have to work hard
4. the pain on my breast bone where the cancer is has COMPLETELY GONE.
5. Hunger/ increase in metabolism
6. Massive improvement in inhalation and exhalation
7. I can cough without feeling pain in my breast bone. All after 4 sessions.  
8. After 6 sessions I have got rid of the persistent mucus that is accumulating in my throat. Its amazing.
9. my skin has improved, even some of the cellulite on the back of my thighs has greatly reduced!
10. More energy
11. Less shortness of breath during hiking or running for the bus stop
12. Increased energy
13. Improvement in skin; people noticed a brighter colour to my face
14. Dark circles around my eyes are less dark
15. Digestion has improved, more metabolic.

I continue to have HBOT for maintenance treatments. It has changed my life in that my quality of life has improved greatly. Although you do have to self fund this treatment, it is well worth it. It is not on the NHS because it is not funded by the big pharmaceutical companies, besides HBOT actually helps more than pharmaceutical drugs. HBOT has hardly any side effects. So if the drug companies can't make money, why would the NHS have it? Unfortunately our UK government is paid off by large drug companies. I feel if a lot more people new about it, they would use this treatment first and forgo drugs. And as always what worked for me may not work for the next person. We are all different, but HBOT isn't a drug, its pressured oxygen. Google it!

HBOT had a wide application in a lot of conditions, the people I met, whom were having this treatment suffered from migraines, skin conditions, drug and/or alcohol addictions, ex-solider suffering from phantom limb pain, a ex-professional sportsperson suffering from a brain hypoxia injury, an old man with no conditions does it to keep healthy, fibromyalgia and the list goes on.

Im not writing to sell HBOT, I'm writing to report how it has helped me. More...
