We're The Urban Alchemist, and we've been offering exceptional healthcare since 2013. We welcome you to our healing sanctuary, where our outstanding practitioners will help you to identify the causes of your pain and illness and offer real solutions to help you transform. We offer evidence-based western and complementary medicine under one roof and our therapists work together to help you get the best results. Call us for Integrative medicine, Psychology, Chiropractic, Remedial Massage, Myotherapy, Kinesiology, Naturopathy, Counselling, Acupuncture, Shiatsu and Ka Huna Massage. We opened The Urban Alchemist because we longed for a space where clients feel truly cared for. We wanted to challenge the traditional model of health care, and invite the whole person to show up for healing rather than just the broken parts. With so many different therapies in one place, we can help you find the answer to your health questions faster.

My nervous system after therapy: “Thanks for sharing… now get back in the box, we have emails to answer!”

If you are a pro at packing your feelings away because they feel “too much,” we see you. And Wassan, our Psychologist, sees you too.

Wassan specialises in helping you navigate anxiety, life transitions, and that feeling of being overwhelmed. She uses evidence-based therapies (like CBT and mindfulness) to help you stop stuffing the feelings down and start moving through them.

Let’s make this healing thing a little less lonely. Book a chat with Wassan today.

"In nearly 20 years, I've only seen a Subscapularis injury once." 🤯

This is why experience matters.

While the Supraspinatus takes the crown for being the most injured muscle in the shoulder, the Subscapularis is usually the one silently causing trouble by being tight and overpowering.

And don't get us started on the "Terrible Teres" (Teres Minor)—small, overworked, and absolutely lethal when it has a trigger point.

If your shoulder feels locked up, let us find the culprit.

Giant brain full of knowledge meets intuition. ✨

This is Maddock (Maddz) doing what he does best. He calls himself our resident 'body nerd' , and with 20 years of experience plus a background tutoring anatomy at universities, he knows exactly what is happening under the skin.

If you want a therapist who knows things about the "human meat vessel" that make most of us go "Whaaaaaaat?", he is your guy!

Depression doesn't always look like crying on the couch.

Sometimes it looks like sleeping for 12 hours and still feeling exhausted. Sometimes it looks like irritability, brain fog, or just... numbness. It can show up as a persistent ache in your body just as much as a sadness in your heart.

If you recognise these symptoms in yourself or someone you love, please reach out.

Our incredible team of mental health professionals—Wassan (Psychologist), Valentina (Mental Health OT), and Sabrina (Mental Health Social Worker) are experts at creating a safe, non-judgmental space for you to heal.

Let’s start unpacking that heavy load together.

Your massage, your rules. ✨

We believe that Remedial Massage is an art form. To make sure you get the masterpiece you deserve, communication is key.

If the pressure is too hard, tell us.
If you want to zone out without the "jibber-jabber", say so!
If you have a specific injury, make sure you book with a Remedial Therapist or Myotherapist who is trained to treat the cause, not just the symptom.

And yes, if you have private health insurance, bring your card! Many of our therapists offer HICAPS claiming on the spot.

In a world that often treats the body as a collection of isolated parts, Zoe sees you differently. She considers the body a "connected entity that is fluid and ever-so changing."

For Zoe, your mind, body, and soul are intrinsically linked and need to be addressed as a whole.

She combines Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, and lifestyle advice to create a safe, judgment-free space where you can recharge. Her goal? To guide you back to a balanced, grounded version of yourself.

If you are looking for a practitioner who blends gentle care with rigorous training (including a double degree and mentorships in Navel Acupuncture and I-Ching), Zoe is the one.

Our wonderful practitioners at The Urban Alchemist Carlton North help ordinary folk achieve their physical, emotional and spiritual goals.
