Rooted in Earth. Guided by Spirit.
Cactus Moon Apothecary was born from a quiet but powerful calling:
To help you remember the wisdom that lives in the plants—and in yourself.
Founded by Certified Herbalist and ritualist Katie Bywater, Cactus Moon offers earth-based tools to reconnect with your body, soothe your nervous system, and support your energy through every season of life. Our offerings combine organic herbal remedies, chakra-based rituals, and plant spirit guidance to help you slow down, heal deeply, and come back into balance.
This is more than self-care. It’s sacred remembering.
Katie’s Story
Hi, I’m Katie—and like many healing journeys, mine began in a moment of unraveling.
After years of pushing through 80-hour workweeks in the tech world, I found myself burned out, disconnected, and eventually diagnosed with an autoimmune illness. The conventional path offered only band-aid solutions—nothing that touched the root.
So I turned to the Earth.
Through herbal medicine, breathwork, chakra healing, meditation, and the deep companionship of plant spirits, I slowly found my way home. What began as personal healing became a profound transformation.
Today, I’m a Certified Herbalist, yoga teacher, and Biodynamic Breathwork for Trauma Release practitioner—and I blend all of these lineages into the offerings I create.
Everything at Cactus Moon is crafted through this lens: Intentional. Sacred. Rooted in nature. Guided by spirit.
The Rituals We Create
Every product is hand-blended in Boulder, Colorado, using organic herbs, therapeutic-grade essential oils, and guidance from the plants themselves.
Each formula is designed to do more than smell good or taste nice—they’re created to support your energy: to calm your nervous system, align your chakras, and bring you back into connection with your own inner rhythm.
Our Intention
Cactus Moon exists to honor the sacred relationship between you and the Earth.
Our work is guided by the plants—their medicine, their spirit, and their deep knowing.
We create tools to help you:
- Slow down
- Tune in
- Remember what it feels like to live in harmony with yourself and the world around you
Because true healing doesn’t come from doing more—it comes from returning to what’s already within.
Behind Our Name
The name Cactus Moon was born under a full moon in the desert.
Katie and her partner, Adam, were traveling through Saguaro National Park, letting the quiet of the land hold space as they dreamed into what this work might become.
That night, with the moon rising over the cactus-lined horizon, something shifted. The stillness felt sacred. The name came like a whisper—clear, grounded, and full of meaning.
The cactus is resilient. Rooted in dry, cracked soil, it holds water, medicine, and strength.
The moon is cyclical. Soft, luminous, and always in motion, she invites us to trust our own rhythms.
Together, they speak to the heart of this work: healing that is intuitive, rooted, and shaped by the natural world.
Cactus Moon is a reflection of what happens when we slow down, listen deeply, and let the Earth guide us home.
The Plants Are Waiting
If you’ve made it this far, you’re already listening. Listening to your body, your energy, your spirit.
Cactus Moon is here to support that remembering.
With hand-blended teas, ritual oils, aromatherapy candles, and guided chakra experiences, our offerings help you reconnect with the Earth and with yourself.
Let the plants meet you where you are.
Let the journey begin.
"I surprised my wife with the Sacral Chakra Box because I knew she needed a spark of creativity in her life. Seeing her reaction as she explored the box was priceless. She told me how the ritual and meditation helped her tap into her artistic side again. It was as if the Chakra Box had reignited a passion within her. Thank you for helping me support her."
