About Us

 

It is the mission of Mental Apothecary to provide products and resources to contribute towards the understanding and improvement of mental health.​

​

Mental Apothecary is an online store of self care products intentionally developed for the purposes of acknowledging mental health struggles and offering small steps towards the improvement of mental health. Even if no purchase is made, our website offers resources to visitors to point them in the right direction for assistance and the tools they need.

​

Mental Apothecary was founded by Heather McLean in 2025 with the vision of offering high quality handmade soap and other self-care products to encourage small steps towards better mental health; both for her customers and herself. She holds an Associate of Science degree is Social Work with a focus in Psychology, with plans to obtain her Bachelors and Masters degrees to ultimately become a therapist.

​

When Depression and other mental health issues affect us, self-care can often be neglected when we go into "survival mode" and it doesn't feel like a priority. We're doing all we can just to get through the day and often we simply don't have the energy for even a simple shower.

​

Our products are themed around mental health and self-care, often with a specific message about a type of inspiration to make small steps towards improving our mental health.
