Two Paths. One Purpose:

Deepening Your Work With Herbalism & Animals

 

 

 

At Animal Botanical, we guide you along two transformative pathways in animal wellness—whether your calling is clinical and grounded in science, or intuitive and rooted in energetic connection.

 

Choose your path below.

The Applied Botanical Path

Seasonal Herbal Wisdom for Practitioners and Animal Owners

If you’re drawn to the plants, to the rhythms of nature, and to helping animals through deeply informed, hands-on herbalism—this is your path.

Here we explore traditional herbal knowledge through a seasonal lens, grounded in evidence, experience, and the innate intelligence of the animals themselves. You’ll learn not just which herbs to use, but when, why, and how—from crafting clinical protocols to creating daily sensory experiences with your animals.

This path weaves together science, intuition, and connection. It’s practical, professional, and infused with the energetic nuance that makes our work alive and relational. Whether you’re an owner wanting to learn the herbal arts or a practitioner ready to step into deeper knowledge—this is where your botanical journey begins.

The Intuitive Energy Path

Animal Communication, Plant Spirits, and Shamanic Practitioner Training

This path is for those called to go deeper—into the unseen, the energetic, and the soul-level spaces where additional healing begins. Rooted in shamanic tradition and practical application, you’ll learn how to work with animal guides, plant spirits, and energetic tools to support healing in both animals and humans.

We focus on hands-on techniques, intuitive skill-building, and structured energetic prescriptions tailored to the emotional and spiritual layers of health. You’ll work with energetic allies, uncover your animal’s healing guides (and your own), and develop the tools to navigate real change—behaviourally, emotionally, and spiritually.

Whether you’re here to deepen your own practice or step into professional-level energy work, this training is immersive, practical, and rooted in real-world transformation.

Sara Burton

"My favourite thing was that incredible affirmation of my belief that nature is outstanding, but at levels I hadn't appreciated before. That nature provides exactly what is needed for health and wellbeing as the seasons change. Learning how the herbs growing suit the conditions our animals typically experience, blew my heart and mind wide open".

 

Laura Harbour

"I love what we are doing, I love its depth. And I know the more we get out there are do it, it will flow. But I think I want to go further with it all. You just inspire me so much! Doing this with you makes me want to change as a person, become more at one."

💖🌸✨🙏.

 

 

The Interconnectedness of Everything.

 

Hello there! I'm Rachael, and I am blessed to have the opportunity to connect with so many wonderful souls like yourself.

I am a lifelong advocate for animals and the natural world and have birthed my career working structurally, herbally and energetically with animals and plants.

At Animal Botanical we all about supporting your growth so that you can support your own health path and your animals journey further. 

Our mantra and guiding ethos is in showing you how everything is interconnected.

 

Love Rachael xx

 

What can you expect from immersing in the herbal journey for you and your animals?

At Animal Botanical, we understand the challenges you and your animals face when it comes to acute and chronic health issues, reactivity, trauma, and emotional well-being. We're here to provide the empathy, knowledge, and support you need to reverse these conditions and build resilience and vitality along the way. 

We also recognise that herbal and energetic immersion is so much more than a health journey, especially for animals. Herbs and healing for animals is about enrichment, fun, play and togetherness. They help us bond to our animals and for some people, this is in ways they may not have experienced before. 

Our trainings help you open up the natural world and all its wonders not only for health but also for happiness.

Join us and discover reliable and effective ways to improve our animals lives naturally. 

With love and a big hearted smiles.

Community, support, empowerment

"I’m so glad that I joined Herbal Shenanigans, it’s opened my world and I love to be able to help Callie in every way I can. Keep doing what you’re doing Rachael, you’re amazing.....

It’s like you’re part of something so special and spiritual almost

You really feel that you’ve helped them help themselves. They trust you, connect with you and are content. It’s a gift to offer them and to share with them”

Return to health for your animals

Together we show you how the botanicals, the seasons and our animals connect. We seek in nature answers to dysfunctions and show you how to use herbs to heal.

We specialise in teaching an in depth and energetic understanding of the botanicals we can use daily. 

The healing journey is one that will bring back to balance the physical body, aid the release of emotional traumas and help transition through the spiritual planes. 

 

 🤩💜

Knowledge on safe and effective herbs

We’ll mix it up: different tools, different herbs, different animals and different owners. Each herbal offering provides something unique to you. We provide the knowledge so you care for your animal in a guilt free, shame free space. Where the ethos of choice, enrichment and empowerment take precedent. Work with the herbs and facilitate the healing space while we provide the knowledge and support. We use the science while also acknowledging the energy, mystery and magic of herbal connection.
