Welcome to Paw & Petal Apothecary! My name is Kaitlyn McGuire. I am a certified Herbalist and Animal Communicator. I have two pets of my own, Missy the cat and Luna the German Shepherd.

I used to be a Speech-Language Pathologist Assistant. I held speech therapy sessions for several years. I ended up developing a chronic illness, and I couldn’t work anymore. It was challenging to adjust to a completely different type of life than I was accustomed to. Although it was from all the time I magically had at that point, that I was able to find my passions.

I had always been interested in herbs and their medicinal properties. I found a course I was able to join to learn more and become an herbalist. The more I learned, the more excited I got! I enjoyed being able to be creative with creating products. I am continually learning more about the vast array of herbs in the world. I have created some custom tinctures for some clients. I absolutely enjoy working with you to help you feel better.

I rescued my German Shepherd, Luna, from the local shelter. She had a rough life before she came into my life. She needed help that I didn’t think I could provide. I looked up animal communicators; however, I didn’t have enough money to book sessions with them. I took all the free animal communication classes I could find, hoping for some guidance. During one of those calls, Luna came up and was rubbing against my computer and getting so excited from what she was hearing. She never reacted to anything like that before. I knew I had to take that class to be able to help her myself. I was shocked at how naturally I was able to pick it up.

I am still in the course, so I am offering a $15 practice animal communication service. I have almost finished the course; however, I want to harness my craft more with the practice sessions. I have worked on my own pets both here and in spirit, as well as some of my neighbors’ pets.

I am also learning Celtic Reiki and Egyptian Shamanism. Once I have completed those courses, I will add them to my services! I will be adding Celtic Reiki services soon. Egyptian Shamanic services will come later in 2026.
