Ashlea brings a unique blend of osteopathy and professional Pilates training, so she’s all about a holistic approach, helping you understand your body, manage pain, and take an active role in your recovery.
She has a strong passion for women’s health, particularly pelvic pain, endometriosis, period pain, low back and hip pain, pregnancy care, and post-natal rehab.

Ashlea has further specialized in pelvic health, including internal (vaginal) assessment and treatment, visceral therapy, pregnancy prep, post-natal rehab, and endometriosis management.
When she’s not in clinic, you’ll find Ashlea reading, keeping active, spending time with her little boy Liam, or hanging out with her gentle giant, Marlow the St Bernard. 🐾
Drop by to say hello and meet Ashlea. She’s excited to support your journey to feeling your best!

The Lifespan Story

Husband and wife team Dr Jason Ferrante and Dr Lauren Matthews graduated from RMIT in 2003 and 2005, so together they bring you over 30 years of combined experience in Osteopathy.

Jason and Lauren are Essendon locals, who founded Lifespan Osteopathy in 2018 in order to be close to their two young girls as they grew, and to be able to give back to the community who had given them so much.

Our Osteopaths are highly trained in many areas of musculoskeletal medicine, and are able to treat everybody from newborns to seniors- meaning we really do treat “through the lifespan”.
