Our Story

Forty years ago, two friends started a friendship that would carry them through just about everything life could offer.

Together, Corey and Keely have raised kids, built careers, and weathered the hard seasons too: lost relationships, job changes, and health challenges that tested them both. Through all of it, they showed up for each other. And through all of it, they found their way back, building lives and lifestyles that finally gave them the freedom to do something they had talked about for years.

Everwild Apothecary is that something.

We're science nerds who love to understand how things work. Corey is the visionary, a curious and thoughtful mind shaped by a long corporate career in accounting and global Enterprise Systems. Keely is the creative spark, an energetic, fun-loving entrepreneur with deep roots in sales and public relations, and a lifelong passion for health and wellness that started well before it was trendy.

One of us asks "what if?" The other asks "how fast can we share it?" Together, we make a balanced team that is hard to beat.

We built Everwild to be a brand you can trust and a company people can count on, because after forty years of counting on each other, we know exactly what that means.

The People Behind Everwild

Meet the Team

Corey Gawryl, Founder & Formulator

Corey Gawryl

Founder & Formulator

Corey Gawryl is the curious, thoughtful visionary behind Everwild Apothecary. Before founding Everwild, she built an extensive corporate career in accounting and global Enterprise Systems. As an Enterprise System Architect, she successfully developed highly complex, efficient systems where small details shape big outcomes.

That same discipline now guides her work as a formulator. A science nerd at heart, Corey approaches every product with a researcher's patience and a builder's eye for quality, asking the questions others skip and refusing to cut corners. Her vision for Everwild is simple and uncompromising: thoughtfully made, small-batch herbal products that people can feel good about bringing into their daily lives.

When she isn't refining a formula, you'll find her reading, researching, and dreaming up what comes next.

Keely Gates, VP of Marketing & Sales

Keely Gates

VP of Marketing & Sales

Keely Gates is the energetic, fun-loving creative who brings Everwild's story to life. She has been a health and wellness geek since long before it was popular, reading labels, trying new rituals, and asking "why does this work?" for as long as anyone can remember.

Keely brings an extensive career in entrepreneurship, sales, and public relations to Everwild. She has built small businesses, launched ideas, and spent years connecting with people in a way that feels genuine rather than salesy. At Everwild, she leads marketing, sales, and community, making sure every customer feels welcomed, informed, and part of something real.

Equal parts science nerd and storyteller, Keely believes the best brands are built on honesty, curiosity, and a little bit of joy.
