Overview

The Holistic Apothecary (renamed to The Apothecary for the purpose of completing this project) is a store located in Ambler, PA that offers holistic healing services as well as sells spiritual healing crystals, jewelry, books, incense, and more. By rebranding The Apothecary to appeal to both new customers looking to begin their spiritual journey and customers who have prior knowledge of the services, customers will be able to quickly locate the services offered as well as the information needed in learning the practices.

Project Scope

People of all ages have been studying, teaching, and using holistic healing methods since the beginning of time. In addition to modern medicine, holistic healing practices, (i.e. the alignment of Chakras, the use of crystals, etc) are still around and used today. When visiting The Holistic Apothecary, it can be overwhelming if unfamiliar with the background of holistic practices. In an effort to bring in more business as well as educate people on the holistic practices offered, I rebranded The Holistic Apothecary.

Target Audience

Deliverables

The primary target audience is women ages 18-35 in Montgomery County, PA that are interested in spiritual and holistic healing methods. The new design, despite being targeted towards a younger audience, will still uphold the traditional meaning and feel that the older generation appeals to.

About The Apothecary

The Holistic Apothecary (renamed as The Apothecary for the purpose of this project only) is founded and directed by Dr. Phyllis Grecco Bucci. The Apothecary is located in Ambler, PA, and is a holistic healing center that offers various healing services. Just some of the services offered include reiki, tre sol universoul healing art, feng shui, and spiritual guidance.
Along with the services offered, Phyllis, along with her staff, offer classes for people to take. A few of these classes would include reiki certification, tre sol universoul healing art, and crystal reiki master certification.

Research

The research was very extensive as my goal was to get everything as accurate to holistic healing as possible. I spent a lot of time on The Apothecary’s website as well as visiting in person to speak with Dr. Phyllis Bucci. The information for my crystal cards as well as the information for the final website and brochure are directly from current information The Holistic Apothecary has.

For the poster, I researched through a few different books; however, the book I found to be most informative where most of the information is from is the book called Chakras & Self-Care written by Ambi Kavanagh.
