Vitality Medicine Intensive
with Dr Ash Broomfield, The Vitality Doctor
A 9-month journey to reimagine and reignite your health with 1:1 support from a seasoned and highly qualified practitioner.
Reclaim
your energy.
Embrace
your sensuality.
Reignite
your most vital self.
We all want to feel good. Energised. Vibrant.
To connect with that spark inside us that helps us feel like our best and brightest self.
The realities of life – relationship breakdown, major injury, significant illness, burnout – have a way of smothering that spark.
Not to mention the stress of modern life – with its unending busy-ness, constant onslaught of health misinformation, and mounting pressures to do more and have more and be more.
No matter how successful you are, it can leave you feeling like something is missing. Like you’re searching for more. Like you’re ready to make a switch.
Maybe you’ve already tried to find answers within the medical system. Maybe there wasn’t enough time. Or support. Or some element of human-ness was missing.
Vitality Medicine is different.
It’s a chance to shake off what society tells you to do to ‘be healthy’ and discover what is actually true – for you.
Taking into account your genetics, history, habits, dreams, desires and lifestyle.
So you can grab hold of your inner spark with both hands and use it to illuminate your most vital and authentic life.
The Five Pillars of Vitality
your pathway to feeling wildly alive and wholly yourself
Your long-term health and happiness is not one-dimensional.
It's a 10,000-piece puzzle of who you are, what you’ve experienced, how you live, and where you want to go next.
Which means learning how to live it fully will take more than cookie cutter advice, templated health plans, or a new medication or treatment.
It will take a deep dive into every piece of that puzzle with someone who is genuinely invested in the journey.
Introducing: The Five Pillars.
This is a framework for the whole of you.
I see these as the foundations for feeling good in your mind, body and spirit – at every stage of your life.
When you join Vitality Medicine, we’ll explore these five key areas over nine months together and I’ll share the skills and strategies I’ve spent over a decade honing as a specialist General Practitioner, sexologist, mind-body therapist, meditation coach and eating disorder clinician.

Here’s what makes Vitality Medicine different from other health retreats, programs or even seeing your doctor:
Not feeling rushed by other client appointments or not feeling heard in a group program – this is dedicated, deeply focused, 1:1 support from a highly qualified practitioner.
There is no such thing as a singular issue – all parts of you, your health and happiness are considered in this journey.
No templates or lists to tick – whilst we use the Five Pillars as a framework, this program is fully customised to your needs and you are an active collaborator.
Not just for the here and now – these are lifelong skills that can evolve to support you through each stage of your life.
No bandaid solutions – Vitality Medicine is designed to support your commitment to creating sustainable, ongoing change that suits your lifestyle.
Can you relate?
Maybe you’ve achieved society’s idea of success, but you still feel like something is missing. Or you’ve faced adversity and you’re not sure how to move forward or what comes next.
Or you’re sick of feeling tired all of the time, like there’s no room for pleasure in your life, or like you’ve lost your inner spark.
You know there is more, you know you can thrive, but you don’t know which path to take.
If feelings like this are draining your physical, mental and emotional energy – let’s discover what’s going on and what you need to shine.

Meet The Vitality Doctor
a Specialist GP, sexologist, mind-body therapist, Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, meditation coach and credentialed eating disorder clinician.
Hi, I'm Ashlea.
I am a doctor. A healer. An advocate. I have over a decade of experience working with different types of people in many different ways, blending scientific medicine with psychosocial healing to treat mind and body holistically. You can read more about that here.
But first and foremost, I am a human. A human who has lived a full spectrum of experience – from grief to distress, burnout, injury and personal and professional evolution.
A human who understands how easy it can be to lose touch with your inner vibrancy – and has the skills, experience and humanity to help you find ways to reignite yours.
Vitality Medicine is for:
Soul-seekers, deep thinkers and trailblazers who want a health partner who understands them and supports them with authenticity, equality and kindness.
People who understand that uncertainty is part of the journey. This is deep and experiential work and no outcomes can be guaranteed. That’s what makes it so profound. But here’s what I can guarantee. I can guarantee that you won’t be alone on this journey. That I’ll use my years of expertise and training to be your guide. To help you feel seen, heard and understood. And I’ll do my best to provide you with enough space and support for you to find a unique way of being that is totally, authentically ‘you’.
People who want to benefit from over a decade of learning, in a streamlined, 9-month container and are committed to doing the work in this timeframe. If you have any significant psychological issues that require slower work over a longer period of time, you may be more suited to Mind-Body Therapy. Request a time with my admin team for an initial assessment for this here.
People ready to invest in a big change. This is a significant investment (in terms of time and financial involvement) and if that is going to put pressure on you in any way, this might not be the best fit for you right now. You might be interested in shorter 1:1 sessions or some of my mini-courses.
Want to get to know me better before we start this adventure? That is totally fair!
You can book a complimentary 30-minute ‘cuppa and a chat’ with me here.
Let’s craft an actionable path forward
that works for you.
1- Elucidate and envision
Join me in person at eluceo in Woolgoolga for a comprehensive, full-day assessment designed to uncover and understand your unique challenges and how they impact your mind and body.
I will conduct a detailed medical and psychological evaluation, drawing from both the data collected during our assessment and the information you provide beforehand.
Using the five pillars of the Vitality Medicine program, I will elucidate your current issues and explain how they interrelate, helping you piece together the parts of your puzzle.
Next, we’ll step outdoors into nature, where we’ll collaboratively envision your journey over the next nine months.
I’ll outline the skills and strategies we’ve agreed on for your journey, and you’ll have the chance to decide if you want to proceed with the program.
Following our session, you’ll receive a detailed PDF summary, including a personalised map of the issues we’ve identified in relation to the five pillars and tailored recommendations for the skills we’ll address and focus on.
There is no obligation to join the program. If you choose to continue, the fee for the assessment day can be applied towards the program costs.
2- Illuminate the path forward.
We will lay the foundation to illuminate the tools necessary for a deeper journey of self-discovery.
In this phase, you will learn personalised strategies to support your health, focusing on ways to Nourish Your Body. You will also hone techniques for enhancing mental clarity and focus - aimed at Developing Clarity of Mind.
This 12-week process includes weekly 90-minute one-on-one sessions, available both in person and online. You will also have access to a dedicated platform featuring personalised, guided practices and the ability to communicate with me between sessions, ensuring ongoing support and reflection.
This phase sets the groundwork for moving forward, preparing you for the next stage of deeper exploration on your journey, which involves building sacred connections and exploring vibrant sensuality.
3- Ignite your spark
At this stage, we delve deeper – using tools designed to help you explore and reconnect with your vibrant sensuality whilst strengthening sacred connections with yourself, others and the environment.
We begin with a 5-day one-on-one retreat* to:
Step outside of your usual routine
Immerse yourself in experiential practices
Create dedicated time for connecting with your inner spark
You’ll stay in a lakeside cottage on the serene Lake Russell in Emerald Beach NSW. I will schedule daily activities to create opportunities for engagement with the natural environment and insights into the cultural history of the area.
This phase involves deep and highly experiential processes that set the stage for you to be able to fully connect with your internal sense of sacredness and vibrant sensuality, both within yourself and through your interaction with the natural environment.
You will be introduced to daily practices tailored to your unique circumstances, aimed at enhancing these connections.
Over the following 12 weeks, we will meet fortnightly for 90-min sessions (in person or online) to consolidate the experiences from the retreat.
We will build on the practices you learned to further support sacred connections and cultivate vibrant sensuality that you wish to explore more deeply.
You will continue to have access to your personalised platform, where guided practices will build on the foundations established in previous phases, and you will have the ability to communicate with me between sessions. This ongoing support ensures that you can reflect on and apply the practices tailored to your unique circumstances.
*An alternative option for the retreat is five separate one-on-one full days spread over the 12 weeks.
4 - Radiate Out and Forge Your Own Path
In this final phase, we focus on clarifying your inner wisdom, purpose, and the meaningful changes you wish to bring into your life and the world around you.
Over the next 12 weeks, we will continue to meet fortnightly. This phase is dedicated to integrating the insights and experiences from your journey into your everyday life.
This essential process involves working together to identify what you wish to carry forward, what you want to leave behind, and develop practical steps for incorporating these elements into your life.
Guided by your internal wisdom, this phase will centre on how you can radiate your vitality, purpose, and meaning outward. We will focus on ongoing integration and aligning your daily actions with your sense of purpose, supporting you in expressing and sharing your energy and clarity with the world.
You will also maintain access to your personalised platform, where you can revisit guided practices and resources from previous phases. This ongoing access supports you in continuing to develop and apply the skills you've acquired throughout your journey.
It's wonderful you have questions.
