Anna Holm | Founder
Licensed Esthetician #85552
Licensed Educator #23006016
Anna began her journey at the Majestic in February 2009, starting as a receptionist before earning her Esthetics License in 2010. What began as a love of skincare and guest care quickly evolved into a lifelong passion for healing, teaching, and leadership. In 2011, Anna and her husband, Ben, took ownership of the spa, transforming it into The Apothecary Spa an award-winning wellness destination known for its warm hospitality and holistic approach to care. Together, they later expanded their vision with The Apothecary Wellness Center & Spa in Burlington — a space designed to nurture health, healing, and happiness for both guests and practitioners. With more than 15 years in the spa industry, Anna has become a respected teacher and mentor, inspiring emerging professionals to build meaningful, sustainable careers in wellness. She holds advanced certifications in Crystal Healing, Herbalism, Aromatherapy, Reiki Mastery, and Soul Realignment, and she is a certified Crystal Master Healer and Aromatherapist. As the founder of Wild Valley Vitality, she continues to educate and empower spa professionals through advanced training programs, workshops, and community events. When she’s not at the spa or teaching, you’ll find Anna tending her garden, restoring her 120-year-old home, volunteering in the community and serving on the Board of Directors for the Children’s Museum of Skagit County. Her husband, three daughters, and two grandkids keep her grounded, grateful, and always laughing.

Ashlin King
Spa Manager
Ashlin brings a deep passion for wellness, self-care, and guest experience to her role as Spa Manager. Her journey in the spa industry began as a Nail Technician, quickly leading her to fall in love with the calming, nurturing environment and the personal connections that come with helping others feel their best. That spark grew into a desire to support every guest’s wellness journey, not just those she saw in the treatment room. While she has always been residing in the Pacific Northwest, Ashlin made Anacortes her home in 2024 and immediately felt a sense of belonging. The warm, welcoming spirit of the Anacortes community—and the team at The Apothecary Spa—made it clear she had found the right place. Ashlin is especially passionate about being part of others’ self-care moments and is committed to helping every guest feel seen, cared for, and restored. She also has a deep love for holistic skincare, particularly the Eminence Organic Skin Care line, which aligns with her values of clean, mindful beauty and the power of nature-based wellness. Outside of the spa, you’ll often find her spending time with friends, cold plunging, or walking around town, soaking in the coastal charm. For Ashlin, The Apothecary Spa isn’t just where she works—it’s like her second home and a perfect expression of everything she loves about self-care, community, and connection.
