Hello, I'm Rachael, Founder of Animal Botanical.  MNIMH 

I have a lifelong career working with animals - encompassing medical herbalism, animal herbalism, animal chiropractor and energetic healing. I mix the scientific with the energetic and teach you how to do the same.

I absolutely love teaching and sharing everything that these modalities bring. And i do this via various platforms. Providing practitioner, owner and continuing professional development training.

I am co author of 'Animal Botanicals – A seasonal Guide to common herbs and hedgerow plants found throughout the UK, and I have published the 'Essential guide to herbal water buffets, both are available via Amazon and in the Herbal Emporium.

I live an adventurous life recently travelling Costa Rica while facilitating training in all things herbal for animals. I hold bi annual continuing professional development days and workshops in the UK.  

Light and Joy
