Testimonials

My experience through the path of the Plant Medicine Apprenticeship has been deeply profound. What called me to this work became clearer the further I journeyed into the embodiment of the practice and my relationship with the plants. Their holding of my beingness was something I had never felt in the way I experienced it here. I am so grateful that I followed the inner ping to say yes.

Rachel has an incredible way of invitation, observation, and encouragement that truly mentors you into taking your most authentic path with the plants and into tapping the wisdom you already carry. Through these devoted journeys, I felt a deepening of my own sovereignty with each turning of the cycles and seasons, and more than that, a profound reconnection to my body.

As much as I was unravelling, I was also — in the same breath — reconnecting with a feminine innateness that words don’t quite hold. And through it all were the plants — the most ancient of allies — speaking, holding, and guiding me home.

I felt nothing but love and compassion from the women in the circle and felt deeply honoured and held by Rachel. This apprenticeship is carried with such intention, grace, and a deep sense of safety — far beyond what I could have anticipated. There is real magic here, and I hope you get the chance to dip your toes in and feel it for yourself.

Testimonials

As a herbalist and naturopath, I felt a clear call to deepen my relationship with the plants beyond clinical knowledge and protocols. What I found within the Plant Spirit Medicine Apprenticeship was a remembering — a return to the living intelligence of the plants themselves.

This journey softened and expanded the way I work. The plants became teachers and allies rather than tools, and my practice gained a depth, reverence, and embodied wisdom that I hadn’t realised was missing. Rachel holds this work with such integrity, humility, and devotion — honouring both the science and the spirit of the plants.

Through this apprenticeship, my relationship with the natural world became more relational, intuitive, and alive. It has profoundly enriched not only my personal path, but the way I show up with clients and in service. This work feels essential for any practitioner who feels called to truly walk with the plants.

Testimonials

I had always dreamed of studying naturopathy and herbalism. I tried a few times over the years, but something never quite landed — it felt disconnected from what my soul was actually yearning for. Then I found Rachel. I absolutely adore her, the language she uses to talk about the plants and the journey of connection she has created with the plants.

It wasn’t just information — it was relationship. She opened a whole new world for me, one where the plants, the Earth, and my own body were in conversation with one another.

This apprenticeship gave me what I had always been searching for: a way to truly connect, listen, and build relationship with the plants and the land. It felt like coming home to something ancient and familiar. This is what my soul had been calling for all along.
