Our approach
Natural Health, Reimagined - Now at MECCA
Jo Horgan (Founder, MECCA), Carly Woods and Charmaine Dennis (Founders, The Melbourne Apothecary)
The Melbourne Apothecary is located inside MECCA Bourke Street, offering traditional Chinese medicine, naturopathy, breathwork and life coaching within Melbourne’s flagship beauty destination.
Since opening our in-store clinic on 8 August 2025, we have brought practitioner-led, evidence-informed care into a contemporary retail environment - creating a thoughtful and accessible entry point into natural medicine.
Our services include express Gold Ear Seed Therapy, acupuncture and cosmetic acu-facials, naturopathic and nutrition consultations, and breathwork and self-image coaching. Appointments are available in person at MECCA Bourke Street, with select services offered online.
The Melbourne Apothecary has transitioned from its former Smith Street location. Our sister clinic, Fertile Ground Health Group, continues to provide fertility and family health services from its Fitzroy terrace at 33 Smith Street, remaining closely connected in philosophy and care.

Step in, exhale and unwind.
In the heart of MECCA Bourke Street’s energy, our clinic offers a sanctuary of calm. Step behind the curtain and you’ll be cocooned in comfort - wrapped in Cultiver linen doona covers, warmed with hand-made wheat bags, with noise-cancelling headphones and soft eye pillows to transport you into deep rest.
With private curtained rooms for acupuncture and cosmetic acu-facials, and a closed clinical room for naturopathy, breath and life coaching, every detail has been considered to create a nurturing atmosphere where you can unwind, feel seen, and focus on your wellbeing.
