My story begins over 25 years ago as a Saturday girl in my local pharmacy. Fascinated by the rows and rows of amber bottles, I watched person after person come in asking the pharmacist for help on their various ailments and was enthralled as he expertly blended from the amber bottles lining those shelves. I decided to study pharmacy and six years later I embarked on my career as a pharmacist specialising in herbal medicine, nutrition and well being using with a focus on natural medicine. It wasn’t until several years later that I discovered homeopathy, a form of medicine that completely changed my life and that of my family. As a homeopathic pharmacist I was able to embark on a journey that has ultimately led me to create The Organic Pharmacy with my husband, Franco. As a mother of two, an entrepreneur and a wife I know how important it is to strike a balance and part of that balance for me comes from the very fact that The Organic Pharmacy is an extension of my own life and that of my family. |
The Organic Pharmacy is born
Whilst studying homeopathy I became aware of Organic and what it meant. Shocked that I had been unaware of the level of poisonous pesticides used in our food and the questionable ingredients used in cosmetics, I decided to use my herbal, homeopathic and pharmaceutical knowledge to create a shopping haven free from chemicals found in other stores, a place where expert knowledge on well being, herbs and homeopathic remedies were readily available. My principles were very simple, the best organic ingredients, honest expert advice, quality service, incredibly effective products and a caring environment. I took the idea to my husband Franco whose design skills and vision turned The Organic Pharmacy into a modern day health and beauty centre.
Our first store opened in 2002 on Chelsea’s trendy Kings Road and very soon we had complete synergy with our customers many of whom are still with us today. More London stores followed and in 2008 we opened our first store in Los Angeles. We still stick with our strong principles and pride ourselves on the passion that we share for quality, efficacy and above all a dedication to you.
