Well done everyone, such a lovely community we have here. Thank you to Rachael for bringing us together and being a wonderful teacher and herb oracle 💖🌸✨🙏
A career where you make profound heath changes to animals.
The biggest mistake I see people is in trying to treat animals with the allopathic, systems oriented approach.
There's just too much information and going DIY just isn't feasible.
There's just too much that will not work.
We must take into account our animals needs and wants within the healing. The animals must have the option, trust and choice to be able to make informed decisions regarding their own health.
Many animals are never provided the opportunity to heal from emotional imbalances, the cascade effect on the body is immeasurable.
This is your chance to learn the skills to be able to heal in the most profound way you will ever experience.

Animal Herbal Health
Innate Botanical Selections.
This course is designed for individuals who are passionate about facilitating healing for animals using a herbal method that prioritizes the animals' well-being, whether you are just starting out in working with animals, considering a career change, or already a therapist looking to further support animals naturally. We also have a specialised stream for those looking to support their own animals.

There is a strong emphasis on learning through the rhythm of the seasons as core concepts in our learning are based around animal anatomy, animal disorders & dysfunctions and plant physiology that prevail within any given season.
Previous students have often been left 'blown away' by the connections that draw botanicals, animals and the seasons together.
A Discovery of Interconnectedness.
We created Innate Botanical Selections out of my lifelong passion for working with animals, particularly horses, dogs and my deep connection to plants. This method combines my expertise in animal holistic care and herbalism to optimize the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of animals.
One of my main focuses is on trauma work and understanding how the body can release both physical and emotional tension. Through Innate Botanical Selections, we can restore the physical, emotional and spiritual health in all animals.
