Hi, I'm Dr. Walkiria.

I'm a naturopathic doctor, clinical nutritionist, herbal formulator, and the creator of the Focus Ritual and Rest Ritual blends. But before any of this existed as a “brand,” these herbal blends were survival tools I made for myself during one of the most demanding chapters of my life: naturopathic medical school.


Where It All Began

During my medical training, I hit a point where caffeine stopped helping me. Instead of focus, it gave me anxiety, jitters, and crashes. My memory felt unreliable. My brain fog was intense. I needed clarity—not stimulation.

At night, melatonin wasn’t helping either. It made me groggy before exams and disrupted my natural sleep-wake rhythm. I didn’t want to become dependent on something my body didn’t truly need.

I knew there had to be a better way—so I turned to the same tools I was studying every day: botanical medicine, physiology, and the nervous system.


The First Blend: Focus Ritual

I formulated Focus Ritual to help me rebuild calm, sustained concentration without relying on caffeine. I wanted nourishment for the brain, not stimulation. I wanted clarity without anxiety. I wanted something I could use every single morning without crashing later.

And it worked—better than I ever expected.


The Second Blend: Rest Ritual

The nights before major exams were overwhelming. My mind wouldn’t quiet down, and my body didn’t feel safe enough to relax. Melatonin wasn’t the answer—so I created a nighttime formula that supported the GABA system, quieted mental spiraling, and helped me sleep deeply without grogginess.

That became Rest Ritual—my personal nighttime sanctuary.


From Personal Rituals to Community Remedies

My classmates noticed my rituals. They asked what I was drinking. I shared the blends. They felt calmer, more focused, and more regulated.

Then I began giving the formulas to my clinic patients—women struggling with stress, insomnia, overstimulation, and burnout.

  • Their sleep improved.
  • Their focus sharpened.
  • Their anxiety softened.
  • Their nervous systems felt nourished instead of depleted.

They urged me: “You need to turn this into something bigger.”

And that’s exactly what I did.


My Mission

Today, Natural Care Doc’s tea rituals exist for one purpose:

  • To help people reclaim their mornings and evenings.
  • To reduce dependence on caffeine, melatonin, and stimulants.
  • To support the nervous system in a way that feels gentle, feminine, and physiologically aligned.
  • To make effective, doctor-formulated wellness accessible—even on a budget.

I believe rituals are more healing than supplements—and more sustainable than willpower. A single cup can change your physiology, your mindset, and the way you move through your day.


The Ritual Philosophy

My approach is simple:

  • Nourish, don’t stimulate.
  • Support, don’t override.
  • Regulate, don’t sedate.
  • Create habits the nervous system trusts.

These blends weren’t created to be trendy—they were created to be therapeutic. They were born in a study room, refined in a clinic room, and perfected through real women’s lived experiences.

You’re not just choosing tea—you’re choosing a moment of calm that supports your cortisol, your hormones, your sleep, and your emotional well-being.
