About ApotheKerry
Our Storey
ApotheKerry began as a personal journey in 2018 — a search for balance, healing, and a deeper connection to the natural world. What started with simple, plant-based creations made in the kitchen grew into a small business shaped by care, curiosity, and a genuine love for the craft.
Today, ApotheKerry offers handcrafted soaps, bath products, and skincare that support everyday wellness — made slowly, thoughtfully, and with intention. Inspired by nature and the calming rhythm of ritual, every item is created to help you pause, reconnect, and care for yourself in a meaningful way.
At its heart, ApotheKerry is about more than skincare. It’s about creating space — to breathe, to reset, to feel more grounded in your body and your day.
As the business continues to grow, ApotheKerry is expanding into custom creations for special occasions, including weddings, showers, and meaningful gatherings. Workshops and wellness collaborations are also on the horizon — opportunities to share this work in community, and to inspire others to explore their own creative and healing paths.
This is just the beginning. Thank you for being part of it.
At ApotheKerry, every ingredient is chosen with care — for its benefits and the values it reflects.
Our products are plant-based and free from synthetic fragrances, dyes, and palm oil. We source locally and from Canadian suppliers whenever possible to support sustainable, small-scale producers.
We partner with ethical suppliers like Baraka Shea Butter, which champions fair trade and environmental responsibility while empowering women in Ghana.
We’re also beginning to grow and forage some botanicals ourselves, deepening our connection to the land and our commitment to mindful creation.

About Kerry
Thank you for being here — I’m so grateful our paths have crossed.
I’m Kerry, and ApotheKerry is the result of a journey that began in 2018, during a season of deep burnout that called me to slow down, reconnect with nature, and listen inward. What began as a personal practice — making simple, plant-based products to support my own healing — slowly blossomed into something more.
Before ApotheKerry, I spent over 30 years in the hospitality industry, leading teams and caring for others. It taught me the value of service, resilience, and heart — but eventually, I knew I needed to turn some of that care toward myself. Soapmaking became my ritual, my creative outlet, and my way back to balance.
My love for plants and the earth began early, in my grandfather’s garden — where I first learned to grow, to observe, and to appreciate the quiet rhythm of the seasons. That connection still guides me today, in the way I work and the products I create.
I believe self-care is more than a routine — it’s a way of remembering who we are. ApotheKerry is rooted in that belief, and in the joy of creating something honest, healing, and real.
When I’m not creating, you’ll find me in the garden, on the yoga mat, or lost in music — still learning, still growing, and always finding beauty in the small things.
