About

Founded from a deep calling to help others heal themselves, Heather Gehrman opened Healing Leaf Apothecary, a beautiful holistic wellness store in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.  Her mission is to provide natural healing products, be service-oriented and educationally focused. 

Healing Leaf Apothecary is more than a store—it’s a community of care.  Our aim is to comfort, nurture and uplift our friends and neighbors in Coeur d’Alene. We do this by offering:

1. Thoughtfully Curated Products - From organic herbs and teas to essential oils, flower essences, homeopathy, and crystals, every item is selected with intention to support whole-body wellness.
2. Local and Sustainable Sourcing - We prioritize goods crafted by local makers, believing that healing begins in connection—with the land, the plants, and each other.
3. Holistic Health Services - We offer a full range of services, including:

    • Personal Herbal Consultations – Individualized guidance for chronic concerns and long-term vitality.
    • Workshops and Classes: Learn to design your own healthy lifestyle.
    • Reiki and Energy Healing: For mind, body, and spirit.

Customers love the warm, knowledgeable service, the carefully chosen herbal offerings, and the peaceful, nurturing atmosphere of the store.  Whether you’re seeking support for a health concern, looking for a healing gift for a loved one, or simply browsing, we invite you to come in and say hello to Heather—the owner and Certified Clinical Herbalist—who’s always happy to help you on your path to wellness.
