Our Story
Sophia Pharmacy is dedicated to intregrative healthcare.
We are a compounding pharmacy specialising in anthroposophic medicines. While the origins of anthroposophic medicine are in Europe the future is in each region around the world developing its own geographic medicine.
Aotearoa New Zealand is an extraordinary country with many healing gifts. The plants and minerals of this land are here to heal the people living in Aotearoa. The key is understanding that imported products carry the signature of their homeland. I am passionate about sustainable development of remedies from plants and minerals from our land. Anthroposophy has given me insight and inspiration to support our future human development through developing new remedies.
There exists a mutual healing relationship between human beings and our earth. Life on Earth involves constant transformation. Rhythmical weaving between material and spiritual. This is Alchemy.
Our Team
While you will only encounter one face in the pharmacy there is a support network of many who make this operation possible.
