We had the good fortune of connecting with Tynisa Hill and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tynisa, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I’ve always had the Entrepreneurial spirit since childhood. The catalyst for me with starting my own business was when I was working for this major company, it was a WFH position, highly stressful environment nonetheless.

I was working 10-14hr days sometimes up to seven days a week. The pandemic hit and schools turned virtual plus I was in the midst of a nasty custody battle.

Now that virtual learning was in place, I submitted a simple request to my employer for my hours to change to a more reasonable timeframe so that I can accommodate my Son’s needs who is on the Autism Spectrum. I would be available to assist him on the virtual learning schedule with his school and all that entails with that.

They immediately denied my request. Mind you, I’ve never been late and never called off, no disciplinary actions, had been with the company for almost a year at that point. I was placed in a position where I literally had to choose between my Son or my Job. The obvious choice was my Son.

It was then when I decided that I will never be placed in a position again to choose between my Son and my “Job”. The Herbal Seduction Apothecary LLC was officially born.

I decided to take my Herbalism to another level and slowly put myself out in the forefront and educate my local community on the benefits of Plant Medicine. CBD is included in that, which is actually my main focus.

The process is slow due to many factors. I’m continuing to lay the foundation to ensure my company has longevity in the future. I have no regrets and grateful to the people who have supported my business thus far and encourages me to keep pushing forward.

What should our readers know about your business?
Currently, I’m restructuring some things within my company/brand. My company/brand would still be considered as a start up and has been met with many obstacles. Giving up is NOT an option! That’s the life of an Entrepreneur lol.

I’m taking one community at at time. Educating our communities on the benefits of Plant Medicine and removing the stigma of it. I want to see our communities healed. As an Herbalist, Herbal Formulator, I work with many herbs and roots in a variety of ways.

Teas, Tinctures & Tonics. Edible creations. Herbal smoke blends. Infused oils just to name a few. These types of blends can be customized with or without CBD hemp flowers.

My focus is to get to the root of the symptoms and that means having an in depth consultation so that I can understand your lifestyle, stress factors, eating habits and so on. Then work with you to build a plan that you’re comfortable with so we can position you back on the right path for healing.

Those dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, ptsd, chronic pain. sexual dysfunction are some of the symptoms I have herbal formulas that may possibly help lessen the severity of those symptoms.

On the CBD side, which is where my main focus is at. I only work with small family growers to ensure the high quality and consistency of the CBD hemp flower. I prefer educating my customers before making any sales so they have a clear understanding of how CBD works with our Endocannabinoid System.

We’re not just another CBD company. There’s a lot of research, trial and error and so much that goes on behind the scenes many people who aren’t in this industry don’t understand. Keeping up with the ever changing regulations and compliance. State and local laws. Censorship on social media platforms. Processing challenges. Funding challenges. So much red tape to navigate through but it’s worth it to see people healing!

As an Herbalist, I never make claims and always give disclaimers as I am not a medical physician and advise to always seek out a professional licensed physician for medical advisement.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
It depends lol..I would definitely say hit up Slutty Vegan. Maybe some Korean BBQ off Buford Hwy. A day trip to Savannah/Tybee Island would be in order as well. Maybe ride up to Helen, GA for the OktoberFest. That fresh Mountain air is always a great idea and the views are spectacular!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
