the secret to flower essences that work

Published about 4 hours ago • 3 min read

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. ;)

This is a wallflower. It might look unassuming, but its fragrance is divine. I love wallflowers. They seem to be one of the few wildflowers that thrives in our high desert climate, and this year they filled my garden with stunningly bright orange blooms. I’ve been creating an enfleurage of their aroma — it already smells divine, though it will be a few seasons of blooms before it’s ready to use. Enfleurage is the slow, methodical, luxurious process of placing aromatic blooms on neutral...

Rewilding the Temple Juniper Stokes • June 2026 We live in a world of duality. Yin and yang, feminine and masculine, dark and light — it is the coming together of two dual forces that holds the generative energy to create something new. Yet when duality becomes polarized, it causes so much of our human pain. Good or bad. Right or wrong. This or that. In reality, good and bad are part of one greater whole. Same with desire and aversion. Joy and grief. When we forget this, the fractures caused...
