About Us
Our Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture Practice
The Dispensary™ has been serving the local community of Clifton Hill and surrounds since 2017. Our welcoming clinic is especially designed to provide a relaxing, warm and healing experience for you, to ensure a positive impact on your health and wellbeing.
Our Principal Practitioner: Jodi Pritchard
Jodi has long been fascinated by natural wellness and the power of the human body to heal. In her previous career she travelled extensively throughout Asia for more than a decade and lived in Singapore and Hong Kong, which awakened her curiosity for a holistic approach to health. Eventually, after burning out in corporate roles, Jodi discovered the healing capacities of Chinese medicine and acupuncture for herself. She knew she had found her calling.
Jodi has many years of experience supporting hundreds of happy women, children and men through her Chinese medicine and acupuncture practice. She is passionate about supporting people of all ages to experience optimal health, minimise pain and enjoy life to the full.
Having lived and practiced in Northcote and Clifton Hill for many years, Jodi is an enthusiastic and committed member of her beautiful local community. She is also an avid yogi and meditation practitioner – and she loves long walks at Merri Creek and Yarra Bend with her adorable dog, a Groodle named Monty.
