When ongoing care makes the difference

Practitioner Support Available

While the acute dispensary provides quick support for immediate needs, a consultation allows for a fuller conversation about your health. Your practitioner can take a detailed history, understand the broader context of your symptoms, and develop a personalised plan. It’s a natural extension of the acute care service, offering continuity and deeper support when you need more than on‑the‑spot help.

patient experiences 

Janelle, Newcastle

"If I'm in need of a quick pick me up or re-stock of herbs, teas or products I can pop in and whomever is not in clinic that day will be in the well stocked and delightfully ambient apothecary space. Each time I have been, I have received the highest level of professionalism and care. With Jess, Cath and Helen, to call on or arrange a more in depth, individualised consult my health has greatly improved. Jess monitors my gut biome and overall well being and recently arranged for a reschedule of testing to check how it was going and continues to support me in healthy maintenance. I highly recommend the Hygea Apothecary so easily located in the heart of Newcastle's East End as the support to call for your overall health and wellbeing. "
