Express Gold Ear Seed Therapy
15 min | $45 | Book now
This is a quiet ritual of acupressure using 24k gold-plated ear seeds, placed with intention on specific auricular points mapped by our Chinese medicine practitioners to reflect and support your current health focus.
There are no needles, and nothing pierces the skin - just small, luminous spheres that sit gently on the surface of your ear like golden treasures. Tiny, elegant, and therapeutic, they can be worn for 3–5 days, inviting you into a daily moment of pause and presence.
Each seed offers you something to return to - a gentle press of the finger, a breath, a reminder of what you're tending to within.
This is your wearable wellness: a sensory anchor for your nervous system, your healing focus, and your intention.
You’ll leave with something visible but subtle - beautiful, intentional, and uniquely yours.
Express Radiance Reset
15 min | $45 | Book now
This focused session with a naturopath is designed to help you reconnect with what matters most right now in your health.
Through conversation and observation, your naturopath will identify key areas to support - whether it's energy, digestion, stress, immunity, skin, sleep, hormones or another focus unique to you.
At the end of your session, you’ll receive a personalised herbal blend - chosen just for you from our clinical dispensary. This might be a bespoke herbal tincture formulated to meet your current needs.
Radiance Reset is more than a quick consult. It’s a gentle, purposeful beginning, and a chance to honour what your body is asking for.
Express Face Mapping
15 min | $45 | Book now
Your face tells a story - not in fine lines or imperfections, but in the deeper patterns that Chinese medicine has studied for centuries.
This 15-minute consultation explores those patterns through traditional diagnostic principles, mapping the regions of the face as reflections of the body’s inner systems.
It’s not a facial, and it’s not cosmetic. It’s a conversation - guided by what’s showing up on your skin, and how it might relate to your digestion, sleep, hormones, emotions, or energy.
Your practitioner will walk you through what they see and suggest next steps to support you - whether that’s a longer consultation, a therapeutic formula, or a simple lifestyle shift.
Face Mapping is clarity in the mirror. Insight in plain sight. A chance to listen more deeply to what’s been there all along.
Express Breath Reset
15 min | $45 | Book now
Your breath is one of the most immediate ways to change how you feel in your physical body and mind, yet under stress, it often becomes shallow, fast, or held without you noticing.
In this 15-minute session, your practitioner guides you back into balance through the science and art of breathing differently. After a brief check-in, you’ll move into a 10-minute personalised breath meditation designed to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, the body’s natural “rest, digest, and restore” mode.
The session may also include simple guidance to strengthen healthy breathing habits, from supporting ease in sleep, to finding balance and improving performance during exercise, to cultivating a breath rhythm that calms rather than stresses your body.
It’s not therapy, and it’s not exercise. It’s a pause. This is a nervous system reset you can feel in real time, and carry with you long after.
The Express Breath Reset is presence restored. A way to exhale tension, anchor calm, and move into the rest of your day with steady clarity.

Breath & Self-Image Coaching
Your breath is the most accessible tool you carry. Rooted in the Buteyko tradition, breath coaching at The Melbourne Apothecary offers practical techniques to profoundly influence the nervous system, creating space between stimulus and response.
These breath practices teach you how to access a more balanced rhythm on a daily basis, between stress and restoration, action and rest.
Breath is only one powerful doorway. Self-image coaching takes you even deeper into the patterned landscape of your mind.
Drawing on the teachings of Brooke Castillo, this work helps you uncover the unconscious narratives driving your decisions, habits, and emotional responses. Together, we bring awareness to the thoughts and beliefs that shape your inner world and begin to work with them.
Because all behaviour is patterned, emotional, physical, cognitive. And once we see the patterns, we can begin to shift them if they’re not the patterns you want.
These sessions combine insight with action. With awareness as your foundation, you'll be supported to design new, healthier habits that align with how you want to think, feel, and live.
Your brain is a patterning machine. In these sessions, you'll remember: it’s a tool - not the master. Leverage this to your benefit.
Whether through breath or thought, these practices offer a way to rewire your relationship to yourself, gently, intentionally, and with compassion.

Acupuncture
Rooted in the traditions of Chinese medicine, acupuncture offers a way to work with the body’s own intelligence - using fine needles to stimulate specific points to support balance, restore flow, and gently shift patterns.
Your practitioner will use fine needles to activate specific points on your body that correspond to key systems, offering a space to recalibrate physically, mentally, and emotionally. For both acute and chronic presentations, weekly sessions are often recommended to support momentum and continuity in your care.
Alongside general acupuncture, The Melbourne Apothecary offers a popular signature Cosmetic Acu-Facial - a clinical-meets-ritual experience designed to support your skin’s natural vitality from within.
This non-invasive facial treatment uses fine facial and distal needles to encourage circulation, support tone and texture, and engage the body’s restorative processes.
Each treatment is tailored to your constitution and may also include facial gua sha, gentle cupping or jade rolling - depending on your practitioner’s approach and your needs.
It’s more than a facial, it’s a whole-person treatment that includes body acupuncture to support internal systems, while the facial component focuses on circulation, tone, and skin vitality.
This is a calming ritual where where internal support and outer care come together in one deeply restorative experience. Whether you’re seeking therapeutic support or conscious self-care, acupuncture can be a beautiful foundation, and is often combined with other services in a collaborative, cross-modality approach to your health.
