Inspiring Conversations with Courtney & Catherine Cawley of Natures Pharma

Today we’d like to introduce you to Courtney & Catherine Cawley

Courtney & Catherine, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
**For over a decade, my sister and I watched as our loved ones, along with many other Americans, struggle with the side effects of over the counter and prescription medications. **We saw firsthand how these medications, while offering temporary relief, often came with long-term consequences—some even worsening the very ailments they were meant to treat. It was disheartening to see the same cycle repeat itself: dependence on pills, rising medical bills, and a general feeling of helplessness that no one seemed to know how to break.

Numerous late-night conversations about frustrations of the limited resources, education, and access to alternative forms and wishes of a different healthcare system—more inclusive, more patient-centered, and more holistic—soon grew into a vision for how we could make that change ourselves. We both had a passion for natural living and wellness—whether it was through growing our own food, organic skincare, or alternative remedies—and we realized we weren’t the only ones feeling this disconnect from nature.

We knew there had to be a better way to bridge that gap, to provide both education and resources that could empower individuals to explore all avenues of healing, not just the ones offered by the mainstream system. We knew that natural remedies, locally sourced products, and time-honored healing traditions could provide real relief without the risks, and we were determined to bring these solutions to our community.

We envisioned a space where people could come to find products that were not only effective but also free from toxic chemicals, additives, and artificial ingredients. A place where local artisans and farmers could sell their goods, and where our community could find natural remedies to help with common ailments like stress, pain, anxiety, digestive issues, skin problems, and more—free from the worry of harmful side effects.

From the very beginning, our mission was clear: we would provide our community with only the highest quality products that were sustainably sourced and made with clean, natural ingredients. We started small, handpicking local artisans, small-batch producers, and trusted suppliers who shared our values. Whether it was organic teas, herbal tinctures, handmade salves, every item we stocked had to meet our rigorous standards.

We spent countless hours researching ingredients, attending farmer’s markets, and connecting with local suppliers who could offer the best, most effective products for our customers. We learned that healing didn’t always have to come from a pill bottle—it could come from the earth itself, from nature’s simple yet powerful remedies.

Today, we are proud to have built a business that is not just about selling products, but about offering a safe, trusted space for our community to explore natural healing. We’ve expanded our product range to include everything from herbal remedies and organic supplements to natural skincare, and locally-made wellness products.

More than that, we’ve become apart of a movement. A movement where people no longer have to feel that their only option for healing is a pill. A movement where natural products and holistic remedies are accessible to everyone, no matter their background or income. A movement where healing happens not just through the products we offer, but through the connections we’ve built with each other and the support we offer as a community.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Starting the business wasn’t without its challenges. At times, we wondered if we were being too idealistic, or whether people would truly embrace natural alternatives. As a small startup, we didn’t have the budget for big marketing campaigns or flashy storefronts. We had to be creative and resourceful, relying on word-of-mouth, community events, and social media to spread the word.

The biggest hurdle was convincing people to think differently about their health. Many were accustomed to the quick fixes offered by pharmaceuticals and weren’t familiar with the natural remedies we were passionate about. But we were determined, and we knew that with education, time and trust, we could help change the way people viewed their health and wellness.

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Natures Pharma?

We love surprises, fun facts and unexpected stories. Is there something you can share that might surprise us?
We adopted four children, each with their own unique needs, challenges, and strengths. Becoming mothers to these incredible kids deepened our understanding of what it truly means to nurture, care for, and heal those we love. It also strengthened our belief in the power of natural, holistic remedies—something we could use not only to care for our own bodies but to create a healthier environment for the families we were raising.

The experience of adopting and raising four children brought a new perspective to our lives. It reminded us that the choices we make about health, wellness, and medicine have far-reaching effects—not just for us, but for the generations that follow. And that’s when we realized something powerful: we wanted to give other families in our community the opportunity to heal in natural, gentle ways, just as we were striving to do for our own.
