"I’ve been using Ode Health's products for my clients and myself since 2019.

I chose Ode Health because of the superior quality, purity and efficacy of their herbs. There are no nasty additives and fillers, the herbs are what they claim to be and their herbal formulae are based on classical Chinese herbal prescriptions unlike many patented manufactured products on the market. I trust Ode Health, I know they do thorough research and testing to source the best quality, potent, correct and cleanest ingredients around the world. Attention is paid to every little detail, including the packaging. I have always found the herbs from Ode Health are superior in achieving really positive clinical outcomes. When you get the right prescription, the results are noticeably astounding.  

The customer service is exceptional and Simon Feeney, the founder and self-proclaimed “herb- nerd”, has an incredible amount of knowledge, experience and expertise in Chinese herbal medicine which he always generously shares and offers support when needed. I am so grateful that we have such an incredible company like Ode Health here in Australia."

Francine Nunnari

About:

  • Chinese Medicine Physician (BA Applied Science Traditional Chinese Medicine, University of Western Sydney)
  • Diplomate in Canonical Chinese Medicine (DCCM) with Institute of Classics inEast Asian Medicine – ICEAM)
  • Breathwork Facilitator (Breathless Instructor Training and Master Instructor Training, Oxygen Advantage Advanced Training with Patrick Mckeown, Fundamentals and Advanced Fundamentals with Dan Brûlée)
  • Diploma Remedial Massage, including Relaxation, Sports and Aromatherapy (NSW School of Massage).

I went straight from high school in to Chinese medicine, hoping to transfer to occupational therapy after the first term, however, Chinese Medicine made sense and my mind delighted in all that I was learning. This lead me to traditional Kung fu and Taichi. Our 4th year of University included a 3 month internship in Nanjing Provincial Hospital for 3 months, 6 days a week. My love for Chinese culture, language and landscape bloomed. And here we are, and I have not stopped studying and I have not stoped learning. I often joke that it would take several lifetimes to study Chinese medicine as it is extremely diverse. What is constant is it’s foundations are firmly based in Nature, like all ancient medicines. This is important because we are also Nature and in a world where there is so much conflicting and confusing information, Nature and our connection and relationship to it, will always provide clarity and truth.

Clinic: The Middle Way Holistic Health, Australia

"It’s easy to loose hope as a practitioner in an industry where many herbs are questionable, for their identification, purity, quality, preparation and potency, I am extremely grateful to have access to herbs and a herbal range that tick all the boxes, with the highest of standards, and with deep respect to our teachers before us and with heartfelt regard to our environment - This is extremely important now that most consumer industry is “fast” and profit driven without consideration for the environmental impact. We can make a difference as practitioners and simply as consumers by choosing to support businesses like these."
