Talking of #freedom, there are many students on the brink of freedom...just one more push through #exams to get out the other side. What a wild ride it’s been for these #VCE kids I was chatting with The Melbourne Apothecary naturopath, Georga Holt, just the other day about more support for these students. She’s keen to get extra help out to the kids in the form of #studyblend tea and herbal and nutritional study mixes, as well as medicines to promote physical and mental #resilience and #repair.

11.01.2022 Merry Christmas enjoy the delicious feasts & time with loved ones We will be closed over the weekend and opening back up on Monday at 9am!

11.01.2022 Isn’t it wonderful to be able to have visitors!? This beauty Jenny Adams aka Jenny Adams was one of my original herbal inspirations. At the tender age of 18 years old in the first year of my naturopathic degree (BHSc) at Southern School of Natural Therapies (Official), Jenny was the first herbalist to teach me about herbal manufacturing. Turning plants into medicines It has been invaluable throughout my life and practice to know how to make herbal creams, ointments, slaves,... pessaries, sitzbaths, oxymels, syrups, gargles, poultices, syrups, infused oils, and of course tincture mixes. For myself, my family and my patients. Truly healing. Reading through the wonderful book she published with another of my teachers from so long ago Elenor Tan, I realise how much of this knowledge and traditional wisdom I learned from Jenny. Thank you for being one of our first visitors to The Melbourne Apothecary in this post-lockdown #newnormal world Jenny. It was a delight to show you around and even more of a delight to realise how much The Melbourne Apothecary was inspired by you (and so many wonderful teachers at the Southern School in the 1990s and since). I have been so fortunate to be surrounded by incredible herbalists and witches of various traditions. The evolution of all of this has been true magic and so good to share. Charmaine Dennis

06.01.2022 #YINSIGHTS with JANE HOLLAND Do you want better #sleep? Do you want #nervoussystem restoration & #balance? Do you just want to stop your mind from firing on all cylinders before sleep?... @Jane Holland is running #DeepSleep #YinYoga classes every Monday night 8pm-9pm. Your first class is #free. Come along tonight and get ready for the #rest of your life. www.bit.ly/deepsleep-yin (+ LINK IN BIO) Read Jane’s Yinsights for tonight’s class. Hello Yin Deep Sleepers, How are you all feeling this week? And how are your mind and body adjusting to the new spaciousness that is opening up for you as restrictions start to ease? If it's feeling a little strange, don't worry- that's pretty normal! After a period of 'hibernation', we tend to be more familiar with the protective state of 'contraction' and so stepping out into the world and expanding can feel a little uncomfortable at first. In the body we might experience this when we start a stretching regime (or yoga) after a month of working out intensely in thegym. Our muscles and fascia have 'tightened up' and as we unravel and open them again tocreate more space, we may experience some resistance. In these moments (just like in our yin practice), we are invited to make our way towards our 'tender edge'. It's a place that feels a little uncomfortable at first, but one we know we can 'be with'. From there, we observe how it feels and remain present with the sensations that arise. As the new spaciousness becomes available, we are invited to soften into (and gently let go of) our protective resistance, and allow ourselves to open. This week we play with our edges in our Deep Sleep practice, and find ways to 'be with' them, and celebrate the expansion and spaciousness that arrives when we do. Can't wait to share it with you all! Much love, Jane x
