All Transformation Begins with a Threshold

I’m Katie Simons, PharmD, CCHT, founder of The Holistic Apothec.

As a Clinical Doctor of Pharmacy turned Clinical Hypnotherapist, Plant Medicine Facilitator, and Integration Coach, I offer a bridge between Science and the Mystery to support deep and lasting transformation.

My work integrates somatic breathwork, hypnotherapy, plant medicine, shamanic practices, and trauma-informed approaches to help you move beyond survival patterns, reconnect with your body, and awaken an embodied, authentic, and empowered way of being.

I am honored to meet you at the threshold and tend the fire for your transformation.

“I chose to come off of my medications shortly after being laid off from my job of 2 years. In the midst of the anxiety and stress of not knowing what comes next, I knew I needed to take the opportunity of the time I was given. It was hard…but I am SO GRATEFUL to be FEELING my feelings again…I have come so far and I can honestly say I wouldn’t be this far without having had Katie and my therapist every week. I can’t praise Katie enough for the work we’ve done together. If you’re ready to do the work, I highly recommend you connect with her.”

“I finished the 8 week program of breath work, meditation, and talk with Katie. By far the most helpful thing I have done in my life. It has completely transformed my life. Katie is truly amazing.”

“Seeking a holistic approach to healing, I turned to Katie’s breathwork sessions. Her guidance provided a safe and supportive space for me to delve into vulnerable and personal material, clarifying themes in my life. Katie held this space with compassion and grace, allowing me to release tension, cultivate mindfulness, and ultimately, achieve a greater sense of self-awareness. I reflect on my journeys all the time and feel a sense of peace and awe at the experience. Katie’s expertise and compassion were invaluable in my journey of personal growth and transformation. I am truly grateful for her guidance and look forward to working with her in the future.”

"Every interaction I had with Katie left me feeling really connected, confident, calm and even more curious. I knew in my gut that I deserved all the love, respect and healing in all the universes and I was being put together with the right human angels, like her, to channel through. Katie held a loving, safe, open and non-judgmental container that gave me enough security and warmth to be willing to explore some painful emotions, memories and thoughts without losing myself in the process or wanting to completely run away. Her guidance to continuously and gently put me back in the driver's seat was very empowering. I discovered my agency with her."

"If I could complete this self sovereignty container again, I would! I truly enjoyed every moment of it! I entered this experience wanting to better understand myself and learn how to self source. I was nervous about opening myself up to strangers but by the end of 13 weeks I left so fulfilled and bummed I wouldn’t have weekly chat with these amazing women anymore! The tools and practices I was provided have me better equipped to understand my mind, body, and soul! I will definitely be back for another one of Katie’s containers!"

"TPTSS was incredibly powerful - A beautiful balance of learning about body, mind, & soul with accessible practices & tools to help integrate awareness & learning. Katie cultivated a safe space with a curated curriculum to hone connection to emotions, body sensations, and intuition. This was a transformative experience for me and I’d recommend this to anyone looking to increase self awareness, practice breath work & meditation, and learn to recognize, listen and honor their inner power and intuition."
