"Herbal Shenanigans completely changed how I look after my mare. Within a few weeks she was selecting the herbs she needed each morning, and her whole demeanour softened. It gave me a way to actually support her rather than guess what might help her."

Meet Your Teacher:
Rachael maxwell


Hi, I'm Rachael. I'm a qualified Medical Herbalist and Herbal Choices for Animals Consultant, holding PGcert, BSc, Dip HM, DipHCA, and DipMCAM qualifications. Through Animal Botanical and Kirta Academy, she helps horse owners, dog guardians, and holistic practitioners build stronger, more informed relationships with the animals in their care.

My working brings together clinical herbal knowledge, zoopharmacognosy, and seasonal, energetic practice into a single grounded framework that owners and practitioners alike can learn. Rachael is a member of the International Institute for Complementary Therapists and the International Association of Animal Therapists, and holds UK Rural Skills Approved Provider status for her practitioner training.

I’m also the author of Animal Botanicals: Seasonal Herbs and The Essential Guide to Herbal Water Buffets. My work has been featured in Your Health Hub Directory, where I share my Herbal Choices modality with a wider community of pet owners and complementary therapists. My passion is helping people reconnect with nature’s wisdom to support the health, wellbeing, and resilience of the animals they love.

What Members Have To Say About Us...

"I have followed Rachael's work for a while, but the water buffet guide is what finally gave me the confidence to try. My gelding self-selects every day now and I have already noticed his coat and gut are settling."

Emma, Horse Owner

"As a dog behaviourist I have picked up so much practical information from Rachael. The way she explains the plants, the seasons, and the animal's behaviour together is honestly unmatched anywhere I have looked."

Marcus, Dog Behaviourist

"My cocker spaniel used to walk past every herb I offered. Following the guide properly, she now takes rosehip and cleavers most days. Watching her choose is a real joy and a relief."
