The Chiro Inspired Podcast

Ashley is currently an enneagram 7 Senior Chiropractic Intern at Life Chiropractic College West with a passion for the prenatal and pediatric chiropractic realm. She is also currently in the midst of completing her certification with the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. As a proud daughter of immigrant parents, Ashley is no stranger to setting goals and working diligently to fulfill her dreams of a better tomorrow. Prior to chiropractic school, Ashley wrapped up a 10 year career in the musical, dance, and pageantry arts, where she spent the latter five years touring with independent groups all over the United States, Europe, and Taiwan. She currently serves as Student Body President for Life West’s Student Council and most recently as an Exec Board member of the League of Chiropractic Women club on campus. In 2019, she and co-founder Nikki Kielkowicz created Making HERstory— an event created for all to connect, empower, and celebrate the women in chiropractic for all they have done and all the potential they have yet to reach. When she’s not at school, Ashley enjoys being outdoors, reading, and getting lost in weaving and creating new macrame designs. Ashley’s love of service and leadership combined with a splash of silliness and a dash of zippity pow makes her the energetic, fun-loving person she is.

Dr. Baxter Hickey graduated from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto, Ontario with Magna Cum Laude (2019). He began his chiropractic journey when he was competing as a high-level Latin ballroom dancer.

He has completed training in many newborn, infant, and paediatric adjusting courses and even spent a portion of his clinical internship working at a paediatric wellness clinic before graduation. He incorporates rehabilitation of the body and proper nutritional counselling, in addition to mindfulness and meditative practices for stress management.

Throughout his schooling at CMCC, Dr. Hickey also found a passion for teaching. He became a peer tutor in many courses such as anatomy, neuroanatomy, physiology, and radiology. Since graduating, he has continued teaching on an international level by helping fellow chiropractors pass the Canadian Chiropractic Board Exams. He is looking forward to continue teaching on a global scale and sharing his passion and knowledge for all things chiropractic with his students and his patients.

On his off-time, Dr. Hickey enjoys a healthy and active lifestyle, with regular resistance training at the gym and hiking in the Rocky Mountains.
