Arrowtown Apothecary
Integrating Science and Nature for Optimal Health
There is a different way to approach your health.
Not reactive. Not rushed. Not another referral that leads nowhere.
Arrowtown Apothecary is a natural medicine clinic and herbal dispensary nestled in the heart of Arrowtown - a place where old world plant wisdom and cutting-edge functional medicine meet. Where your symptoms are treated as signals, not inconveniences. And where care is genuinely tailored to you.
Led by Chelsea Gawron - degree-qualified naturopath, medical herbalist, and nutritionist - working collaboratively alongside GPs and specialist practitioners to offer truly integrative, complementary care. Arrowtown Apothecary offers clinical naturopathy, herbal medicine, nutritional support, functional testing, wellness consultancy and private yoga.
Whether you're navigating hormonal complexity, digestive dysfunction, burnout, fertility, or simply a body that hasn't felt right in a long time - this is a place that takes that seriously.
OFFERINGS
1:1 Clinical Consultation
Deep, personalised care using natural and integrative medicine - tailored entirely to you. Clinical intake opens a couple of times a year for a small number of clients ready to commit to real, lasting change in a minimum three-month container. Limited spots. Register your interest to be considered for the next round.
Herbal Medicine Dispensary
A fully stocked dispensary available for herbal prescriptions, acute remedies, and bespoke formulations. Whether you're an existing client, a local practitioner or walking in off the street with something that needs addressing - the dispensary is here for you.
Functional Testing
Understanding why your body is doing what it's doing. Functional testing examines physiology at a molecular, tissue, and organ level - identifying the underlying drivers behind symptoms rather than managing them in isolation. Hormonal imbalances, gut microbiome disruption, nutritional deficiencies, toxic load - the answers are in the data.
Available to both clinical and community clients.
Wellness Consultancy
A rare combination - decades in high-end hospitality paired with clinical natural medicine. The pace, the pressure, and the particular demands of environments where the show must go on are well understood here.
Whether you're a venue wanting to do better by your team or a business ready to invest in the people who make it all run, we work with you to build something that actually fits your world.
Community Appointments
A limited number of weekly spots are held for the community - herbal medicine consultations, Body WOF health reviews, and Kids Consults. No long-term commitment required. Book directly above.
Artisan Apothecary
Locally foraged herbs, organic medicinal teas, tonics, luxury skincare, and practitioner-only supplementation. Every product is hand-chosen for its efficacy, ethos, and planetary impact. This is what an apothecary was always meant to be.
