01 / THE HUMAN BEHIND THE APOTHECARY

Hello, I’m
Sima.

Founder, Artist, Writer, Curator, Mother and a typical Aquarian who intrinsically lives in a world of imagination and reverie.

I subconsciously psychoanalyse the world and its people, collect ideas, create new projects and make sense of things.
An autopilot problem solver that thinks outside of the box.

Artists’ Apothecary grew from a simple conviction: To use creativity and art as a base to build a foundation to alternative therapy. It is one of the ways we process, connect and come home to ourselves.

I’m Sima Rahman-Huang, a mother first but I am also a Founder and a London-based artist/event manager. My professional background started in marketing and events management in the property investment world which I left to pursue a life in freelance, this shaped me in to the founder I am today and sent me on a journey of self discovery through the birth of my children and becoming a mother. My work sits where art, wellbeing and community meet. I create workshops and gatherings that are gently structured, deeply human and free from the pressure to make something just “good” but be the best version of themselves they can be in whichever capacity that makes them happy.

I believe in the power of a blank page for everyone, a fresh start. As a curator and a huge mental health advocate I love being able to put my varied skillset and ideas together to in the events that I manage. Also as a parent, I understand how easily our own inner lives can be placed at the bottom of the list. I have been on a journey, everyday is about working on ourselves to be better and feel better. Come with me on this journey it is never too late......

This is a practice of small returns: to your hands, your senses, your story and your people.

THE BIG IDEA

Creativity wellness isn't a luxury, it is a necessity.

AQUARIUS ENERGY

Independent, future-facing and always joining unexpected dots.

HOW I WORK

Curiosity brings creativity,
expression of oneself brings self preservation.

Every Artists’ Apothecary experience starts with listening. I shape accessible, welcoming creative formats around the people in the room—whether that’s a quiet table of parents, a lively family workshop or a commissioned event for an organisation.
