Reception
First point of contact for new and returning patients. Manages bookings, intake forms, and the rhythm of the clinic day.
Dr Ash Connell leads the clinical work. Louise, Kira and Leah keep the front of house warm. Together we run a clinic-sized practice with research-grade equipment, across Geelong and Camperdown.
Twenty-nine years in clinical practice since 1997. Came into the work through sports science and elite-level Rugby League in Queensland, then trained as a chiropractor following his father into the profession. Postgraduate study in functional neurology, with certifications in qEEG brain mapping, neurofeedback, biofeedback, and anxiety education.
Outside the clinic, Dr Ash is Head Sensei at Vital Force Aikido in Geelong — forty-five years of martial-arts practice that has shaped how he reads brain maps, body language and recovery patterns alike.
Registered with AHPRA as a chiropractor. Clinical services at The Healthy Brain Clinic delivered under additional certifications in qEEG, neurofeedback, biofeedback, and functional neurological exercises.
Reception is the first person you'll speak to — and the people we trust to keep the clinic warm, organised and human.

Reception
Coordinates patient communication, follow-ups and clinic logistics. Often the person who walks new patients through what to expect.
Relief reception
Covers reception across both clinics. Calm, organised, and the steady hand on busy days.
We're hiring across clinical and reception roles. If working in a small, rigorous, family-built clinic appeals — we'd like to hear from you.
Scope of practice. Dr Ash Connell (Chiropractor) is registered with AHPRA. Clinical services at The Healthy Brain Clinic are delivered under additional certifications in qEEG, neurofeedback, biofeedback, and functional neurological exercises. We work alongside — not instead of — your GP, psychologist, or psychiatrist, and we refer as necessary.
If you need urgent support, contact your GP, call Lifeline on 13 11 14, or in an emergency call 000.
The same methodology, every tier
14 brain networks. Quantitative measurement at the start, the middle, and the end. Co-care with your GP and psychologist — we work alongside, not instead of.
19-channel quantitative EEG, processed against age-matched norms via NeuroGuide. swLORETA source localisation maps activity to specific networks.
swLORETA-guided neurofeedback paired with HRV biofeedback at resonant frequency. Network-targeted protocols, not one-size-fits-all.
qEEG comparison at mid-cycle and end of programme. If the data isn’t moving in the expected direction, we change the plan — not the calendar.
One methodology across every tier — from the free Snapshot through to the in-clinic 12-week programme.
Four tiers of care
Every tier uses the same methodology — examination first, then targeted intervention. Choose the depth that fits your concern, your timeline, and your budget.
A short educational questionnaire screening your three core networks — Default Mode, Salience and Central Executive — with a personalised starting protocol.
Full 14-network mapping, 16-region BRLF screening, a 30-day guided programme and content library — lifetime access, re-take any time.
Everything in Tier 1, plus a Polar H10 sensor shipped to you, real-time HRV biofeedback in the NeuroZen app, a daily 3-minute diary, AI-driven weekly feedback and monthly progress reports.
Everything in Tier 2, plus in-clinic qEEG at the start and again at week 11, a weekly in-clinic visit for 12 weeks, personalised swLORETA neurofeedback, and a clinician-led plan designed by Dr Ash.
All tiers complement, not replace, your GP, psychologist, or psychiatrist. We co-care.
Two ways to begin
Examination, not assumption.
Take the free Brain Health Snapshot to orient yourself, or book a consultation with Dr Ash Connell. Both are easy to step away from, and either way you’ll leave with a clearer picture of what’s actually going on.
Or call (03) 5593 2934 — reception will take a few details and call you back within one business day.
