Next month, we're exploring a new thread in the tapestry of the Five Pillars:
🌀 Pillar Two: Developing Clarity of Mind

This is where we turn gently inward.
To the internal noise.
The stories, patterns and behaviours we follow.
The values that shape how we move through the world – and how we feel within ourselves.

Clarity of mind isn’t about having it all figured out, never getting angry or meditating for hours everyday.

It’s about learning to recognise what’s true for you.
Learning how to regulate from stress or shutdown into presence.
Untangling from old patterns that don’t serve.

And choosing, again and again, to live in a way that aligns with what matters most – to you.

We’ll explore thought patterns and emotional responses, internal conflicts and core values.
But gently.
Without trying to perfect or purify the mind.
With the understanding that clarity often arrives not as a lightning bolt… but as a quiet return to yourself.

I can’t wait to share more.

Your sensuality is part of your overall health.
It is worthy of time, care and curiosity.

If you’d like to talk about any of the things I’ve listed here, you know where to find me.

So often, what we call a “health issue” is just one piece of a much deeper story.

A symptom might bring you in. Or questions about a health diagnosis. Or just a feeling of things being off-balance.

But when we look with more time and care, we might find there’s more to the story – stress, disconnection, burnout, lifestyle challenges, unmet needs …

That’s why I created the Mind-Body Medicine Appointment Series – a set of extended, holistic health sessions for people who want to go deeper.

Together, we’ll explore what’s going on for you and create a tailored plan that blends conventional medicine with evidence-based mind-body practices, lifestyle support, and more.

It’s deep work. Gentle work. And incredibly rewarding.

I love offering these sessions – the time they give us, the space, the permission to look at the whole person.

And I believe in what they can provide.
So much so, that I’ve decided to extend this offering.

If we’ve already worked together, or if you feel called to this kind of care, I’m opening a small number of places for people to continue with me on a more long term and regular basis.

For longer appointments made with priority.
For continuity of care.
And for deeper support over time, that evolves as you do.

If you’re longing for more time, space and depth in your healthcare, I’d be honoured to work with you.

More and more, I’m supporting people in relationships who want to feel close again. Who want to talk – deeply – about intimacy, s*x, and connection, in a space that feels calm, safe and non-judgemental.

These sessions are grounded in evidence-based frameworks and tailored to you.

If you and your partner are ready to explore things gently, together – I’d be honoured to support you.

I have always known I wanted to do medicine differently.

Not squeezed into minutes.
Not stripped of human stories.
Not rushing to reactively 'fix' without the space or time to truly see, hear or feel.

For 3.5 years, I’ve stepped away from mainstream general practice to focus on my extended skills in psychological medicine, thinking that was the only way to offer the deep, spacious and personal medicine I craved to practice.
And I have loved it.
I will continue to offer this for my community.

And after my recent retreat in Portugal, I realised I’m also ready to bring all parts of my practice – of me – together.

To offer ongoing, bespoke general practice care.
It is not your typical model, it is medicine with more time, space and depth.

If that’s the kind of medicine you’ve been craving, I’d love to support you.

As many of you know, I often go on retreat. During this time, I self reflect.

I evolve, I change, I grow.

My recent retreat in Portugal was no exception.

The time and space away from my everyday life helped me to find more clarity around the way I work, the things I value most, and the ways I want to continue serving my community.

It means there are some changes coming.

Some of my services are evolving, some extending, and some ending – and I’ll open up some new ways for us to work together.

These changes feel deeply aligned with what I value most in healthcare – time, space and a deeply personal, individualised approach.

I’ll be sharing these changes with my email list next Monday. If you’d like to know more, you can sign up at drashleabroomfield.com.au/subscribe ✨

I can’t wait to share this next stage of my journey with you.

The truth is, the current mainstream model of general practice care is stretched.

15-minute appointments rarely leave room for complexity.
Waiting weeks to be seen by your preferred provider can be challenging when you’re struggling.
And seeing one GP for one issue, and another for the next, can fragment your care.

It’s not your fault if you’ve felt unseen in this model.
You are not too complicated, too much, or too difficult.
The model is simply not built to hold the fullness of human experience.

I believe that medicine is meant to be relational.
It is meant to honour the sacredness of another person’s story.
That is what I will always come back to.

And it’s why I’m making some changes. I can’t wait to share them with you.

It is woven into a tapestry of your mind, your emotions, your relationships, your community and your story.

So whilst a prescription can be helpful.
And a diagnosis can be clarifying.
On their own, they are not the whole picture.

A holistic approach to healthcare is about seeing the connections – the way work stress plays out in the body, how trauma lives in the nervous system, how one issue here can impact one function there.

When we honour the whole, we see the bigger picture. We understand. And that means we can plan clear and practical next steps to manage your health – sustainably, compassionately and in a way that works for you.

The mind-body connection isn’t just a concept.
It’s the current running beneath the waves of everything we do.

It’s why your heart rate spikes when you're under perceived threat, even if you're sitting still.
Why ongoing emotional stress can lead to increased inflammation.
Why dysregulation in your nervous system can present as pain, fatigue, or 'brain fog'.

The mind and body are not separate.

They’re in constant conversation – shaping how you think, feel, move and relate.
When we ignore that dialogue, things get loud.
Discomfort. Burnout. Symptoms we can’t explain.

But when we learn to listen … we start to understand ourselves more deeply.
We begin to recognise our true needs – not just the ones we’ve been taught to prioritise.

This connection underpins everything I teach and practise.

Because lasting wellbeing isn’t just about treating symptoms.

It’s about restoring relationships – with your body, your nervous system, your thoughts, and your internal world.

When we honour that, healing becomes something that happens with the body. Not in spite of it.

Being a healthcare practitioner can be deeply meaningful work.
It can also be isolating.
Especially when you’re holding space for others, navigating complexity, or trying to practise in a way that aligns with your values – in systems that don’t always make that easy.

Over the years, I’ve found that what many of us need isn’t just more knowledge.
It’s space.

To think out loud.
To be witnessed.
To reflect on the kind of clinician – and human – we want to be.

That’s why I offer clinical mentoring.

Not supervision in the traditional sense, but a gentle, grounded space for health professionals to unpack the nuance of what we do.

Together, we can explore things like:
👉🏽 Learning how to enhance your consultations with personal application of meditation, embodiment and somatic skills.
👉🏽 Looking after yourself and your boundaries in a difficult and struggling health system.
👉🏽 integrating skills within evidence-based treatment models and your scope of practice.
👉🏽 Increasing your clinical knowledge about eating disorders, sexual problems or working with illnesses that have an effect on the person's experience of their body (like fibromyalgia, chronic pain, etc.).
👉🏽 Changing or shifting focus in your career.

Whether you’re newly navigating this path or decades in, you don’t have to do it alone.

Mentoring is available online or in person.

If it feels like something you’ve been craving, I’d love to talk.
