Meet Mary
Hi, I'm Mary Allan, Herbalist & Holistic Health Practitioner. I practice from Milford, Auckland as well as running monthly clinics in Coromandel town. You are invited to come and experience the joy of natural herbal medicine! The clinic space is warm and inviting, appointments are informal, comfortable and client-centred. Herbal medicine is a central part of treatment, plus we may choose to select or combine other treatment approaches of which I am trained in. I also co-authored two herb books with Isla Burgess, which can be purchased from our online bookshop.

The Hum of the Herbal Dispensary
Nature is the heart of my practice, the dispensary is the hub, the centre of whirring, whistling and work as form meets and greets the promise of better health, this is what makes the place hum. Carefully made by hand, tried and true. It is a blessing to be shared.
So we stock herbal tinctures made by us, traditionally as herbalists have been doing for hundreds of years, and we also stock galenical extracts purchased from local and Australian manufacturers who create their high-strength extracts with great care too.
Although herbal tinctures and extracts are key to my practice, also very commonly prescribed are other unique medicines we dispense here including flower essences, creams, ointments, liniments, oils, powders and dried herbs for teas, infusions, poultices and compresses to name a few!
Herbal and homeopathic tablets/capsules and nutritional supplements are also available either on the shelf or to order. We do our best to get the medicines you need to make you feel better.

"Mary is the first person I have found in the 12 years I have been in NZ who really knows her stuff and was able to help me now that my herbalist in the UK is retiring.
