About Me
Hi, I’m Rachel. A clinical herbalist and intuitive guide for people who are ready to feel more alive in their bodies again.
Through Moonlit Botanicals, I support people navigating pain, chronic illness, fatigue, and the quiet sense that something’s been out of balance for too long. I blend science and spirit—grounded herbal knowledge with a deep respect for the wisdom of the body and the natural world.
My own journey with chronic illness cracked me open. It taught me that healing isn’t linear, that intuition matters, and that sometimes the most powerful medicine is simply being truly heard. That’s what I offer you: a space where all of you is welcome, and where we move gently, at the pace your body is asking for.
In our work together, I help you untangle your symptoms, reconnect with your inner rhythms, and create herbal support that honors your unique path.
When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me tending plants, stirring something in a cauldron, or sitting under the moon.
Moonlit Botanicals Origin Story
I was diagnosed with chronic illness as a child, but healing first found me in the garden.
My family were farmers and growers—people who trusted the quiet medicine of plants.
I began my herbal path instinctively, drawn to the textures of leaves, the rituals of tea, the way nature speaks in cycles.
It wasn’t until my late 20s that I fully returned— to the plants, to myself, to the wisdom I’d always carried.
Moonlit Botanicals grew from that return.
A place for people living with chronic illness, fatigue, and the longing to feel like themselves again.
I live by the rhythms of the earth, the pull of the moon, the turning of the seasons—
and I offer botanical rituals not just for symptom relief, but for sacred self-care and a life reclaimed.
The Work: A Living Practice of Plant Medicine, Ritual, and Remembrance
My offerings exist at the threshold—where the ancient art of herbalism meets the magic of sensory experience. I walk as a clinical herbalist, a medicine maker, and a guide for those seeking to reconnect with their vitality, their sovereignty, and their own inner rhythms.
Each tincture, perfume, or tea blend is more than a product—it’s a living expression of my practice. These formulations are rooted in tradition, wildcrafted with intention, and made in rhythm with the seasons. They carry with them a spark of ceremony, created to nourish your body, soothe your spirit, and awaken your senses.
Alongside this apothecary work, I offer one-on-one herbal consultations and wellness support, designed to meet you exactly where you are. These sessions are intuitive, grounded in clinical knowledge, and shaped by years of deep listening—to both people and plants.
Everything I offer is part of a larger vision: to help you remember what it feels like to belong to yourself and the earth.
Whether you’re here to explore the healing path, scent your skin with wild roses and resins, or find solace in a warm cup of tea—I’m honored you’ve found your way here.
A Path Rooted in Devotion
My path as an herbalist has been shaped by decades of listening—to the plants, to the land, and to the quiet knowing that lives within. This work is a weaving of study and soul, practice and presence. If you’re curious about the threads that make up my training, here they are:
