The Heart Behind the Brand
Catherine founded academyCP and apothecaryTSC with one clear intention: to bring joy back to therapists.
After years of teaching, treating and supporting learners across the industry, she saw the same pattern everywhere — talented therapists working hard, caring deeply, but often feeling overwhelmed, undervalued or disconnected from the heart of their craft. Catherine knew the industry could feel different. Kinder. Calmer. More confident. More joyful. Courses were developed, typically one day to alleviate tension, and make the treatments more enjoyable for the therapist. Which of course improves the client experience and is better for business.
ApothecaryTSC grew from this philosophy. Catherine wanted therapists to have products that felt beautiful, purposeful and trustworthy — skincare that supports treatment flow, enhances results and brings a sense of ritual to the working day.
Together, academyCP and apothecaryTSC exist to uplift the people who hold this industry together — giving therapists the tools, knowledge and products that make their work feel lighter, more meaningful and more joyful.
Joy for therapists — in every treatment, every classroom, every day.
I enjoyed the training and will incorporate more moves into the routine if I use it in my work or personal settings. Catherine was friendly and approachable, she was very informative about the treatment and explained well.

In todays training I loved learning how massage with bamboo
and the different ways to work on the muscles, I felt like the structure of the
day was great too, how we did it on each other first, then got to also have a
try on men as it can be different to massaging a woman. I liked how if we needed any help she would
guide us, for example if we were using the wrong stick. Having a procedure to refer back to also
helped, so I really enjoyed the treatment as a whole. Spa Therapist
