About Herb & Ritual
Herb & Ritual is a space for exploring natural health, herbal wisdom, energetic practices and the simple rituals that can help us feel more connected to ourselves and the natural world.
Hello, I'm Katy.
I'm a Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy) student with a deep curiosity about the many ways we understand health and healing.
My studies are taking me through the foundations of naturopathic medicine, herbal medicine, nutrition and the sciences that underpin human health. Alongside this, I am studying and practising Aboukra energy healing, exploring the human biofield and energetic approaches to wellbeing.
Herb & Ritual grew from a desire to bring these different worlds together.
I believe there is value in remaining curious. I’m learning from traditional knowledge and the natural world while also asking questions, exploring emerging research and understanding health through different perspectives.
Much of what you find here will grow alongside me. I share what I'm learning, the herbs and plants I'm exploring, simple practices I use in everyday life, and small-batch botanical preparations I make with care.
Learning in the open
I am still a student, and that is an important part of Herb & Ritual. Rather than waiting until the end of my studies to begin sharing, I want this space to document the journey: the questions, discoveries, traditional philosophies, scientific evidence and practical knowledge I encounter along the way. Where I discuss naturopathy, herbs, energy or health, I aim to be clear about what comes from established evidence, traditional use, my formal studies and my own personal exploration.
Energy work
Alongside naturopathy, I am developing my practice in energy assessment and healing. These sessions explore the energetic biofield through a spiritual and energetic framework and may include assessment, reflection and rebalancing practices. While I am developing my skills, I occasionally offer complimentary practice assessments in exchange for the opportunity to learn and gain experience.
Thank you
Ultimately, Herb & Ritual is about something very simple: learning from nature, approaching healing with curiosity, and finding rituals that bring intention back into everyday life.
Thank you, I'm glad you're here.
