The Apothecary
Where aromatherapy, scent, botanicals and curiosity come together.
Welcome to The Living Apothecary at Hummingbird Holistics®. A real, working Apothecary within The Sanctuary, filled with essential oils, herbs, botanicals, Hummingbird blends and preparations, and connected to the garden and greenhouse just beyond the door.
The Apothecary is part of my clinical practice, treatments, workshops and teaching — but you can also come simply to explore.
Meet Your Resident Apothecary
Jane Connor
As Hummingbird's Resident Apothecary and a Clinical Aromatherapist, I work with essential oils, scent, botanicals and preparations throughout The Living Apothecary.
Clinical knowledge and safe practice sit behind what I do, alongside something equally important:
Curiosity.
You might encounter The Apothecary through your treatment, explore aromas at the Scent Bar, create your own signature scent or learn with me through The Living Apothecary School.
The Scent Bar
Explore • Discover • Create
The Scent Bar is where The Apothecary becomes personal.
Explore the six Hummingbird blends alongside individual essential-oil aromas and discover the scents you are naturally drawn towards.
You can also go further and create your own signature scent.
Guided by me as your Resident Apothecary and Clinical Aromatherapist, you'll explore individual aromas and combinations before creating your own personalised preparation to take home.

Learn in The Apothecary
Look • Smell • Touch • Question • Learn
The Apothecary is also a place of learning.
Through The Living Apothecary School, the working Apothecary, garden and greenhouse become part of the classroom as we explore aromatherapy, essential oils, herbs, botanicals, preparations and the knowledge behind them.
From Garden to Apothecary
The Living Apothecary is connected to the Sanctuary garden and greenhouse.
Lavender, rosemary, mint, lemon balm and other botanicals grow with the seasons, creating opportunities to explore the plants themselves as well as the aromas and preparations they inspire.
