Flower Essences

Vibrational medicine for the sensitive human.

Flower Essences are the liquid infusions of a flowers’ vibrational make-up. They work directly with a humans’ subtle energetic field by delivering their intelligence to specific mental and emotional imbalances within the individual. They offer support in the recognition, restoration and release of inhibiting beliefs, patterns or trauma. As the emotional body is gently guided back into homeostasis, harmony begins to restore within every level of the being- mental, emotional, spiritual and finally, physical. Flower Essences are not a “New Age” alternative medicine but rather, an ancient remedy that has been used for thousands of years- dating all the way back to ancient Egypt! Flowers are believed to carry the highest quality and quantity of a plant’s life force energy; essentially the epitome of a plant’s expression. Nature truly provides us with all that we need to thrive and it’s no mistake that such potent medicine exists within some of Her most beautiful creations.

Something to note, * If pharmaceuticals are a sledge hammer, essences are a feather. Expect healing to unfold gradually, at the pace in which your nervous system can process with ease. Essences are adaptogenic substances- meaning they will intuitively work with the body and mind to bring relief where it is most relevant.

My Journey with Flowers began…

long before I was consciously aware of their healing abilities. From a young age, I’ve always felt a pull towards the natural world- it was my safe haven from “regular” life and the one place I felt fully and totally understood. If I wasn’t pretending to be a fairy, I was a feral animal. (Some things never change).

Flash forward to seventeen, I studied Environmental Science at Cal Poly State University, and while I fell completely in love with California’s central coast (who wouldn’t), I found my classes to be lacking depth. From botany to dendrology- I waited to feel the spark of inspiration that initially drew me to plants but learning solely from a scientific perspective was simply not enough. I craved deeper intimacy with the material… to feel it in my body, heart and soul. I waited to hear someone articulate the emotional and spiritual connection I had been feeling so intensely but that day never came…

After graduating, I spent the next half year intensely self studying herbalism, reading every Rosemary Gladstone book I could find and healing myself naturally through more sophisticated potions than the ones I was making at seven. At one point, I even packed up everything I owned and lived out of my Rav 4, deep in the redwoods of Oregon, in the pursuit of merging more closely with my plant loves.

At the end of 2023, I decided to move to New Zealand. (When my soul calls, I listen.) Without a plan, money or contacts, I headed to the land of the Long White Cloud. Six months into my journey, I found myself living with a mystic in the Marlborough Sounds, and it was there where I stumbled upon the book “Flower Essences of New Zealand”. In that moment, something deep within me clicked. You know- one of those full circle moments, like meeting a Soul Mate or listening to Sufjan Stevens for the first time- a moment where you finally experience something that had previously only existed as a feeling. In reading that book, I felt validated- at last, I had proof of the intimate connection I had been feeling with plants; a connection we all have access to.

A year passed and I was feeling much more at home among New Zealand’s flora. I had just started ethically harvesting and creating teas from my favorite plants when a woman walked into the shop I was working in and stopped me. Randomly, she mentioned her friend in Santa Barbara- (the place I would be travelling to that upcoming month) who just so happened to be a renowned Flower Essence creator.

I began to inquire more about this world of flowers and tune into which ones I felt a strong pull towards. Hibiscus called me first. She came to me in dreams, my devotion to understanding their secret world seemed to be paying off.

I heeded the cryptic call towards this tropical flower and set the intention to meet her in her native home of Hawaii. As the universe will have it, that following week I was offered the opportunity to run a farm in Kauai for 5 weeks. A farm full of flowers, no less ;).

Each flower has been an initiation, guiding me into deeper alignment, embodiment and self evolution. The lessons presented in my life mirror the qualities interwoven within the flowers; they offer their support at just the right time, gently pushing me forward on my path.

I have firsthand experienced the healing magic that occurs as a result of my essences (and those of other creators) and it is with overwhelming gratitude that I get to share this beautiful medicine with you. It is my greatest joy and life’s purpose to support others in their holistic wellness journey. I hope that these flower essences serve as a potent reminder of your inherent interconnectedness with the natural world. ꩜
