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.
