A Heartfelt Update from Sweet Essence Apothecary

As the seasons shift, so too does life—and with a full heart, I’m writing to share that as of Memorial Day 2025, the Tacoma location of Sweet Essence Apothecary will be closing its doors.

I’ll be heading South to spend precious time with my grandkids in the quiet of the countryside and to take a much-needed sabbatical for my health and wellbeing through the end of the year.

This isn’t goodbye—just a gentle pause. If you're already on our mailing list, you'll be the first to know when our online shop reopens. Not yet subscribed? You can sign up via the contact page on our website.

To everyone who shared kind words, supported the shop, and left beautiful reviews—thank you. Your encouragement has meant the world, and I carry it with me into this next chapter.

Until we meet again,
With gratitude and calm,
JoAnne Murphy
