Meet Dr. Don “Asher“ Collins, your local chiropractor rooted on the Westbank. Dr. Asher received his doctorate of chiropractic from Parker Chiropractic College in Dallas, Texas, in December 2012. When it comes to chiropractic care, Dr. Asher is a natural, his father, mother, uncle, and two cousins are all chiropractors.
As an associate, Dr. Asher worked for two years with his father, Dr. Ronald Collins, and then three years with his mother, Dr. Celine Lemieux. In 2018, he established “Dr. Asher Natural Chiropractic,” incorporating insights from both experiences.
While grounded in family tradition, Dr. Asher’s treatment techniques set him apart. Specializing in diverse methods like Diversified, Gonstead, Thompson, Activator, SOT, Extraspinal Techniques, Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy, and Applied Kinesiology, Dr. Asher offers a comprehensive array of options. He also holds a certificate in physical therapy from the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (not a licensed physical therapist), expanding his expertise.
At “Dr. Asher Natural Chiropractic” we focus on providing family care to the community, welcoming patients of all ages and backgrounds. Our services cover motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, and work-related concerns beyond family care. Dr. Asher’s commitment to diverse treatment options ensures personalized care for every individual on their journey to optimal health.
Office Manager Katie Collins
Born and raised in Houma, Louisiana, Katie met Dr. Asher while attending Nicholls State University, and married in May of 2009. She earned her bachelor’s degree in child, family, and social service from Nicholls State, and obtained a second bachelor’s degree in communication disorders from Utah State University. Katie spent 10 years teaching and working as a special education administrator in the city of New Orleans while simultaneously assisting Dr. Asher at the office in her free time.
Katie has fallen in love with chiropractic care and the importance of living life naturally. She discontinued her work in the educational field to become a full time office manager. She is passionate about forming relationships with patients and assisting them on their road to recovery. In addition to being office manager, Katie is a chiropractic assistant, a certified chiropractic x-ray technician, and is also certified in IDD therapy for spinal decompression via the Accu-Spina table.
Chiropractic Assistant Cecilia Nettles (Ceci)
Ceci joined Dr. Asher Natural Chiropractic in the summer of 2025 as our Chiropractic Assistant. She is often the first friendly face to welcome you through our doors. Her warm smile, positive attitude, and genuine care for others help patients feel comfortable from the moment they arrive.
After graduating from high school in 2022, Ceci chose to pursue her passion for working with people and building meaningful connections. Before joining our team full-time, she served as an Assistant Manager at PJ’s Coffee, where she developed her love for customer service—and, of course, great coffee! Today, she brings that same enthusiasm and positive energy to our office each day.
One of Ceci’s favorite parts of her job is getting to know our patients and watching their progress as they move from pain and discomfort toward healthier, happier lives. She especially enjoys interacting with the babies and children who visit our office, helping them feel comfortable and entertained while their parents receive care.
When she’s not at the office, you’ll likely find Ceci curled up with a good book and a cup of coffee, relaxing at the beach, or spending quality time with her friends and family.
