Margaret Davies - Faust, Alberta

Métis Herbalist • Knowledge Keeper • Land Steward

Margaret “Chilly” Davies is a proud Métis woman living a quiet, life on the land her family has called home for generations in Faust, Alberta. She lives simply without running water or electricity and wouldn’t have it any other way.

Her journey into plant medicine began when she was 18, and she’s been learning ever since. Chilly believes everything we need to heal is already here, growing around us. With deep respect for the land, she gathers herbs like yarrow, raspberry leaf, mint, and rat root, using them to make teas, pastes, and natural remedies for common illnesses.

Chilly is generous with her knowledge. She teaches others when to harvest, how to prepare medicines, and most importantly—how to honour the plants and take only what you need. Her life is rooted in gratitude, tradition, and love for the land and the people who came before her.

For Chilly, this isn’t just about medicine. It’s about remembering, sharing, and keeping something sacred alive.
