Tiffany Davies, founder and lead professional herbalist at Embark Herbals LLC, located in Mohnton, is having a Meet Your Community Herbalist open house from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., November 16. Guests are invited to visit the newly opened store, meet Davies and enjoy free samples, demonstrations and tea tastings.

Embark Herbals offers herbal consultations, custom herbal formulas, classes and workshops for all ages, lectures, herb walks, an educational blog, and high-quality herbal and natural products for health, body and home, including loose organic bulk herbs by the ounce.

Davies holds a bachelor of science degree in cellular and molecular biology, with a minor in health science, from West Chester University and obtained her herbalist certificate through David Winston’s Center for Herbal Studies. In addition, she continued her herbalist training with master herbalist, Don Ollsin, of Canada. Her training is an eclectic combination of indigenous, traditional herbalism and modern, science-based use of herbs.

“I believe the dissemination of knowledge balanced by wisdom and a reverence for nature that utilizes and maintains its natural cycles are the keys to an evolved society,” she shares. “The ultimate force that drives me is love and my compassionate desire to relieve suffering and elevate the human spirit.”
