Nayeli-Milemny Gutierrez 

Founder & CEO of NG Apothecary | Human Biology Student | Holistic Health Advocate | Passionate Herbalist

Nayeli-Milemny Gutierrez is an experienced herbalist, entrepreneur, and dedicated student of human biology, committed to integrating holistic wellness with modern healthcare. With a deep-rooted passion for the human body and its healing potential, she founded NG Apothecary, a business focused on crafting high-quality, sustainable herbal products, including tinctures, salves, teas, and aromatherapy items. Her journey began over a decade ago, when she first began formulating remedies and studying plants to improve well-being in natural, balanced ways.

In addition to her role as CEO, Nayeli is a full-time student at the University of California, San Diego, where she is pursuing a Bachelor's of Science in Human Biology. She draws on her broad academic background in subjects ranging from molecular biology to bioinformatics and metabolic biochemistry, to refine her knowledge and continue her work in herbal medicine. Her approach is driven by a commitment to personal growth, scientific rigor, and a passion for wellness.

As a leader in both the herbal and academic fields, Nayeli also plays a key role in community engagement, having served as the Treasurer for The Underground Scholars Initiative and contributing to local organizations like the Barrio Logan Planning Group and All For Logan Non-Profit.

Her personal philosophy is to support both people and the planet by fostering sustainable practices in every aspect of her business and life. With a hands-on approach to both her business and studies, Nayeli has successfully navigated regulatory compliance, optimized manufacturing processes, and built a loyal community around NG Apothecary through transparent, educational outreach on platforms like Instagram and TikTok.

When she’s not formulating products or studying, you’ll likely find Nayeli enjoying nature, learning new aspects of health and wellness, or spending time advocating for social change and community well-being.
