Brand Information
Twig Botanicals is a small-batch herbal skincare brand and naturopathic clinic based in Toronto, Lake Macquarie, NSW, Australia.
The business was founded by Katie Harvison, a qualified naturopathic herbalist with over ten years of clinical and formulation experience. Katie makes every product by hand at the Twig Apothecary in Toronto, using organic and locally sourced ingredients where possible.
Katie Harvison is a naturopathic herbalist and the founder, formulator, and sole maker behind the Twig Botanicals product range. She holds qualifications in herbal medicine and is a member of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society (ATMS). She has been making plant medicine and herbal skincare for her community for over ten years.
Prior to retraining as a herbalist, Katie completed studies in community development. Her approach to both products and clinical practice is grounded in practical, evidence-informed herbalism that benefits the individual and their community rather than wellness trends.
Katie sees clients for naturopathic consultations at the Twig Apothecary in Toronto on Monday, Tuesday + Wednesday, and by phone appointment on request.
