To Katie Leone, natural healing isn\u2019t just a lifestyle, it\u2019s a mission. That passion led her to open Natural Matters Here, Cape Coral\u2019s only fully organic, handmade apothecary.<\/p>\n
But what exactly is an apothecary? Leone explains it as a source of holistic information and remedies\u2014\u201ca place or person who knows all the knowledge or has all the herbs to holistically maintain your health.\u201d<\/p>\n
And in Cape Coral, she\u2019s the one hand-crafting those herbs and products herself.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople walk in and the first thing they say is, \u2018Wow, this place has a good energy,\u2019\u201d Leone said. \u201cEveryone always tells me I have the most knowledge and passion about this. I\u2019m just so passionate about helping people feel better.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her passion comes from personal experience. Leone went through several health scares and later discovered she was allergic to most over-the-counter medications. That pushed her to explore natural alternatives. She’s spent the last few years learning, testing, and eventually mastering the world of herbs.<\/p>\n
Inside her apothecary, you\u2019ll find rows of items you won\u2019t see on typical store shelves: unique herbs, tinctures, hand-blended teas, and even natural laundry detergent. If you\u2019re stressed, she\u2019ll help you find something to unwind. If you\u2019re trying to quit smoking, she has an herbal blend for that too.<\/p>\n
\u201cI spent years drinking and trying herbs to see how they would react in my body,\u201d she said. \u201cNot every herb is for everyone. I\u2019m a certified herbalist, and I love helping people pick what works best for them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Beyond the shelves, Natural Matters Here doubles as a community space. Leone hosts events ranging from Thanksgiving centerpiece-making workshops with plants she gathers from local forests. She also hosts Christmas Ornament classes, sleep-stick classes, herbal intervention sessions, holistic health seminars and more.<\/p>\n
Her mission reaches far beyond selling products.<\/p>\n
