Welcome to The Herbal Sessions
Are you a nature lover? An animal lover? Do you want the absolute best for your animals?
Would you love to learn more about how herbs can support your animals?
This practical and in-depth online course is created especially for you!
Animal naturopath, Ruth Hatten, is ready to take you on a journey into the world of herbs. She will teach you all about herbs - their history, their benefits and actions, and how you can use herbs to help your animal have the best of health.
This course is a self-paced version that was ran as a live course in January 2023.
The Herbal Sessions isn't your typical herb course. I could teach you about 30+ different herbs that you could use to help your animals. But that's not practical.
This course is laser focussed. It's practical. Sure, you're going to learn all about the history of herbs, how they work, what they're used for, how to use them holistically to support your animal's whole being, etc.
But rather than overwhelm you with so many herbs you don't know what to do with them (and then you end up doing nothing), once we've explored the rich history of herbs and how herbs work, we're going to focus on four core herbs for animals.
Also, this course isn't just going to teach you about how to use herbs for cats and dogs. We'll be covering other animals too eg horses, cows, chickens etc.
This course is designed to empower you to confidently use herbs to help your animals. I don't want you to JUST know about what herbs do, how they work, how they help animals. I want you to actually IMPLEMENT what you learn for YOUR ANIMALS' BENEFIT. Because otherwise, what's the point.
Did you know...?
Animals have been using herbs for centuries. And, humans actually learned about the healing benefits of nature from observing animals!
Herbs have a vast and rich history. Human use dates back to Ancient Egypt (at least that's what our records show).
In today's world, there is such a heavy focus on pharmaceuticals. But these drugs can cause your animal harm.
Herbs provide another way to care for your animal, or another strategy for you to incorporate into your animal's care plan. When used properly, herbs are less harmful than pharmaceuticals.
One of the really fabulous benefits of herbs is that they can be used to help optimise your animal's health for disease prevention and longevity. And of course, they can be used to support your animal if they are unwell.
Does your animal have a health issue?
In modern medicine, the focus is on treating the symptom. The treatment acts like a bandaid. It doesn't actually fix the issue.
In herbal medicine, the focus is on supporting the whole body. Where there is a symptom, there is an imbalance within the body. Herbs can help to correct that imbalance, and bring about healing.
The Herbal Sessions are for you if:
You want practical know-how on using herbs for your animals
You don't just want the theory of herbs, you actually want to know everything there is about how to use herbs so that you can help your animals. But you don't want to be overwhelmed either. Learning a handful of specific herbs well can mean that you can recall how those herbs work and incorporate them into your animal's wellness regime. You'll learn in-depth information but in a way that is simple and practical to implement. You'll be equipped to create new habits, all with your animals in mind.
You want to learn about herbs from a professional
The Internet is great in that it provides access to an abundance of information. But you don't want to learn about herbs and how they can help animals from just anybody! You want to ensure that you're learning about this important topic from someone who knows their stuff. Someone who is trained and experienced in herbal animal medicine. Look no further. You've found her.
You want to learn new, natural ways of supporting your animals
You're tired of the old ways. You know there's got to be another way. You love nature. You love animals. And you desire to learn about how you can access nature to support your animals health and wellbeing; to help them have the best life possible. In The Herbal Sessions, you are going to learn of these new, natural ways to help your animals. And I can't wait to guide you.
You want to learn the skills to make your own herbal remedies for your animals at home
This course is practical, which means you're going to learn about safety when using herbs with your animals, different ways to prepare herbs, the equipment that you need, where to source quality herbs, and lots more.
You're interested in learning about the energetics of herbs
You don't just want to learn about the characteristics, chemistry and clinical properties of plants. You want to learn about the energetic components and how herbs interact with the energetic body. This is called energetic architecture. It allows you see what's beneath the surface. To see the invisible landscape of herbs, the forces that operate within them. It gives you insight into the psychological, emotional and evolutionary properties of herbs, as well as these aspects within your animals, and how the two merge.

Ruth's herbal workshop was amazing. Such a wealth of knowledge about all things herbs and pets, and it was so much fun being in Ruth's kitchen with her! The ebook and the products are beautiful and so much fun to experiment with. Highly recommended for anyone who is curious about using herbs with their pets.

I loved your depth of knowledge and the way you are able to pull it all together in a simple and thoroughly enjoyable format - I was quite spellbound the entire time. I love that you have sourced organic, wild-crafted and exceptional quality herbs and your beautiful care and respect for Mother Nature in bringing the herbals in for the animals (and us - I'll be trying some of those decoctions!). Watching the herbals being prepared was super helpful and I took away quite a few tips I have already added in for Charlie Bear! I love having the ebook for future reference!
- Susan, Cat Mum
The herbal therapy for animals workshops were great! I love how passionate you are about herbs, their history & use. I loved how your personality comes through during the workshops. You made it fun :) I will definitely recommend to others!
