Shizu Okusa, Founder & CEO of Apothékary

Shizu is a Wall Street alum-turned-wellness entrepreneur. After leaving an intense finance career, she became inspired to live a more balanced lifestyle and revisit her Japanese roots and passion for herbal medicine. Shizu set out to help others regain their holistic health using traditions she grew up with and ones she learned along the way. Now, she proudly leads Apothékary in our mission to deliver natural herbal remedies that get to the root cause of health issues rather than masking the symptoms.

You'll experience a carefully curated itinerary designed to promote relaxation, clarity, and self-connection. Engaging in immersive workshops on Japanese traditions, such as Kampo herbal medicine, forest bathing, traditional chadō tea ceremonies, breathwork, meditation, and more. This journey offers a unique opportunity to step offline and reconnect with yourself while building meaningful connections with our tight-knit community, the Founder of Apothékary, and its team members.

Absolutely! We encourage you to arrive a few days before or stay a bit longer after the journey to fully immerse yourself in Japan’s rich culture and make the most of your time in this incredible country.
