Anarres Natural Health is now a private practice with a private studio in the #Bloorcourt neighbourhood of Toronto near Bloor and Dovercourt. Anarres Apothecary was a storefront on Dovercourt from 2011 to 2018, and then on Bloor St W 2018-2023. Since September 2023, I've been operating from a small private studio within blocks of the apothecary locations. City By-laws permit me to offer consultation and education only from this studio - no shopping unless you are attending a consultation or workshop.
My #DIY #Natural #Bodycare and #Aromatherapy workshops are scheduled monthly:
* at Karma Food Coop Karma Food Co-op 739 Palmerston,
* in semi private workshops by arrangement,
* and at festivals and fairs around Toronto.
Please join my Substack blog or look in the left-hand margin on my website for my monthly calendar. You can see Karma Food Coop's Events Calendar here.

PARKING AT A SUBWAY STATION AND TAKING THE TTC the rest of the way
If you are not already driving by, or bringing a heavy, big order home with you, may I suggest you take the TTC, bike or walk? For out-of-towners, you can park at many subway stations for a fee @$5 on weekdays, and free on weekends. Anarres is 1 block west of the Delaware exit of Ossington subway station.
Did you know that if you drive 25km here, then back, your trip costs you @$11.09? Parking + TTC would cost you a bit less, without the hassle of rush hour delays and driving downtown.
Did you know that if I mailed a small order to you in Thornhill, for instance, your order would arrive by the second day and only cost $10, plus you'd save more than an hour of your time?
So if you are 25km away from Anarres, your costs are:
Driving @$11.09
Park 'n' Ride (drive, then TTC): @$10
Your order by Canada Post Expedited: @$10
Parking is available at the following stations: Don Mills, Downsview, Eglinton West, Ellesmere, Finch, Islington, Keele, Kennedy, Kipling. Lawrence East, Leslie, Victoria Park, Warden, Wilson, York Mills, Yorkdale. More info is here
PARKING NEAR ANARRES STUDIO
Most people stop briefly on Dovercourt wherever there's a spot open. You do need to come to the address given and follow instructions for pick up, becauyse I cannot provide "car hop" services! To attend a consultation or workshop, you can park at the nearest Green P city parking lot in the laneway just north of Bloor St W from Westmoreland, running westward a few blocks. There is also Green P parking across from the Ossington subway station. Rates are very affordable!
