The BioHax Take

This isn’t your average wellness shop — The Bronte Dispensary is a slow-living sanctuary tucked above Bronte’s busy strip. Founded by herbalist and doula Gaia Carthew, it’s a space where modern health collides with age-old traditions. Think naturopathy, herbal medicine, placenta encapsulation, nervous system recalibration, and functional lab testing, all held in a beautifully curated space that smells like wildflowers and feels like a balm for the nervous system.

The vibe? Ritual meets results.

Whether you’re looking to balance hormones, reboot your digestion, regulate your nervous system or replenish postpartum, the Dispensary is equal parts education hub and healing house.
