We are The Hemporium
The Hemporium was born out of a commitment to wellness and a passion for making the healing potential of hemp accessible to our community.

Meet Our Founder
We provide access to products and services that are effective, kind to the earth, and kind to YOU. With THE HEMPORIUM, you can trust that everything we do is undertaken with integrity, care, and a deep respect for nature.
Karen is an integral player in the Australian Hemp Industry. She has fought tirelessly for the rights of all Australians to have access to Medical Cannabis, and has provided greatly needed support to our community through the Ubuntu Wellness Clinic.
Through her service, Karen has become increasingly passionate about the power of hemp to transform the health of both people and planet. It is her life's work to share the potential of this amazing plant and this latest venture is the culmination of her many years of service to this plant and her community.
She believes that working together will help us achieve our visison and goal to set up the infrastructure in Newcastle and the Hunter Valley to grow and process hemp, while at the same time creating jobs and opportunities to become resilient and fully sustainable in our region aganst rising global insecurity.
In Collaboration with...
The Healthy Cocktail
Milly Dawson
Milly is the creator, alchemist and boss lady behind the healthy cocktails on offer at The Hemporium. You will find her mostly in the kitchen of our café, but also pottering about our healing space, connecting with our community and doing what she loves, which is chatting all things health!
Milly's journey with Healthy Cocktails began around 8 years ago in her home kitchen, mixing concoctions to heal her body. It was then she realised she had a gift, a greater understanding of plants and how to use them for deeper healing.
Milly believes we are currently witnessing a huge shift in society. People are becoming more aware of the power of using plants, and plant-based foods as medicine which is paving the way for a brighter future.
Milly and her team are looking forward to welcoming you into this new space, cultivating a community of like minds, sharing a love for plants & each other.
“Eventually we will come to understand that love heals everything, and love is all there is”
