Margaret was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario. She studied Aboriginal Law and Advocacy at Confederation College in Thunder Bay, Ontario, where she graduated with honours. During her free time, she loved to immerse herself in the aborginal culture and way of life. She was well liked, trusted and respected by the community including elders, medicine teachers and educators. After graduation, she continued her exploration in traditional remedies.

For many years, Margaret devoted her time in different health care facilities and started making white cedar remedies at home as a hobby until a life-changing encounter with an Elder in Northern Ontario.

She met a medicine man in a sweat lodge within the Aboriginal culture. This medicine man gave her a direction that she’s going to make a pain relief cream from the cedar tree to help people who are suffering from pain. This Elder blessed her with a spirit name Cedar Medicine Woman before departure.

This experience has changed her life. Margaret is committed to create handmade natural remedies to relieve people from pain and different ailments. The initial start was bumpy because she had to take care of her aging parents full-time while pursuing this endeavour. She didn’t give up and spent years to refine the formula with lots of trial and hardwork.

Fast forward time, it’s been over 12 years since Margaret started making the first white cedar remedy at home. White Cedar Remedies is a dream come true .. with a normal day she gets up at 6:00 .. cedar gathering, making, jarring and labeling (still handmade 100% with love). Or you will find her doing demos in health food stores across Canada.

This pain relief cream has helped thousands of people with different ailments. Check out some of the stories from real people below.

Traditional Medicine Knowledge:  Margaret completed some diplomas in Reflexology, Reiki, Shamanism and Aromatherapy in Toronto.
