the secret to flower essences that work


Flower essences are such gentle, accessible, and subtle medicines. So subtle in fact that it never ceases to amaze me how well they actually work!

I know it shouldn’t come as a surprise anymore, but somehow it still blows my mind that water can pass on a gift from nature that shifts our entire way of being in the world.

In the past few months, I’ve been flooded with reviews saying how much my flower essences have helped people. Here are just a few:

On Snakeskin Fritillary: I haven't tried all the essences from this order yet but this one was incredible, it surpassed any expectations I ever had and managed to surprise me, an extremely experienced flower essence user, in it's potency for activating transformative energy in my body.
On Many-Flowered Stickseed: This essence helped me declutter. It was easier to let go of things I no longer needed, including redefining some family relationships. Better boundaries.
On Salmonberry Blossom: A big yes to Salmonberry! Oh I love working with this essence. I was inspired to be more creative and felt uplifted. Even my loved ones noticed a positive effect after taking it.
On Nettle: This bottle of essence of nettle arrived just in time for. I was just going through a health condition that caused a strong histamine reaction and this beautiful plant has made the itching bearable. I had never heard of this before but the thought just popped into my mind and it was as if my body knew exactly what was needed and it arrived on the exact day it was needed. I could not be more grateful for this beautiful miraculous product.

But I’ll be honest…I think the reason reason my flower essence are so damn effective is more than the form they take.

Yes, all flower essences are lovely.

But they way a flower essence is made really, truly matters.

The most important element? Your relationship with the natural world.

If we approach our essence making with an extractive mindset...
if we’re unable to truly discern permission and connection...
if we haven’t developed a reciprocal relationship with the natural world…
Then our medicine just won’t have the potent, high frequency gifts that are possible.

But when we learn to deeply listen to the land...
receive the authentic invitations of the flowers...
and shift our own energetic field into attunement with the earth and our creations…
Then we become true botanical alchemists.

I honestly don’t know how much this is covered in most flower essence trainings, but it certainly isn’t the focus of a lot of the online materials I’ve seen.

My way of doing this work has come from not just learning about flower essences, but from spending decades in deep communion with the natural world. It’s very personal and authentic, and it’s what I’ll share with you.

Not only will you be able to make truly effective and high vibe essences…you will deepen into a more authentic relationship with the Earth and land.

This is a really special invitation. I’ll teach this live and online once. After this round, only the pre-recorded version will be available (and at a higher price).

The Living Medicine: A Flower Essence Workshop is a 4.5-hour live online and immersive workshop happening on Sunday, June 28th at 9am PT.

Let’s gather and shift the consciousness of our planet in partnership with the flowers this month.

Still here? Wow - you deserve a present :) A tiny secret for you before you go:

There’s a beautiful calming point in the ear located just behind the little cartilage fold at the front of the upper ear. Hold it gently on both sides for one minute and take a slow breath. It’s especially lovely with a drop of anointing oil. ;)

Virgos tend the sacred. This devotional sign carries us from August 23rd to the Autumnal Equinox, when skies grow dark once again. Largely misunderstood as overly-organized and detail-oriented, Virgo’s true archetype is that of the priestess (and priest, for that matter). This archetype helps us prepare for the times to come with essential tasks of offerings, clearings, rituals, and — yes — organizing our resources. ;) You’re invited to join our live September New Moon gathering and anointing...
