In 2019, after years of working in education, I decided I wanted to work on a flower farm. The flowers were just calling me, I guess. This was before sustainable, small-scale flower farming was as big of thing as it is now, so I found one of the few in my area, emailed them, and got a job. There was something about tending to and being among the flowers that really moved me. At the time Sunflowers were my favorite flower and were speaking to me loudly. When I was around them, I couldn’t take my eyes off of them. They were so big and bright and confident, assertive even. Something I myself struggled with at the time. I happened upon a Sunflower flower essence at the local apothecary and found that the energy I received from just being around the Sunflowers was the exact same energy that the essence is known to awaken. So here I started my several years long journey taking Sunflower essence, and let me tell you: it took me places. It awakened in me a boldness, brightness, and confidence I hadn’t always been able to access before. I have always been a shy and somewhat a wallflower (still am and I love this about myself!) but Sunflower shifted my energy in a big and beautiful way that I really needed at the time, especially as I was going through and coming out of my Saturn Return, during which I had cocooned deeply, shed several unaligned friendships, moved to a new town, and got sober.

Over the past few years, I have studied the magic work of Flower Essences and built deeper relationships with the flowers I grow from seed, the perennials I have in my garden, and witness in the wild around me. The flowers have such deep knowledge and they speak surprisingly clearly: when it was time for me to be done with Sunflower essence, I simply knew, and have since tried many different essences. Usually I become attracted to a certain flower, only to find out that essence is exactly what I need at the time. The flower essence I have currently been working with often is Hibiscus, a wildly feminine, juicy and creative one.

WHAT ARE FLOWER ESSENCES?

Flower essences are liquid infusions of blossoms, carrying the subtle vibrational wisdom of the plant world. They work gently yet profoundly, helping to restore balance, open the heart, and align you with your truest self. Similar to homeopathic remedies, they are made by infusing the energetic imprint of the flower into water, then distilled with brandy (or vinegar or glycerine for a non-alcoholic option). Flower essence medicine is captured with the help of fresh spring or well water, the sun, and sometimes the moon. Drops of these dosage essences are usually added to a glass of water, or can be placed under the tongue. The dosage usually is 4 drops twice a day, although can be increased as needed or depending on the particular essence. Because Flower Essences are made using the energetic imprint and all plant material is removed after a few hours or day (or night) of floating on top of water, there are no contraindications as you are not actually ingesting any plant matter, as you would in a traditional herbal tincture.

While individual essences work wonders, there are immense benefits in taking a personalized blend that contains 3-5 flower essences. This is where Flower Essence Consultations come in!

In our session (held online in a safe and grounded container), we’ll listen deeply to your story and intentions, allowing the flowers to guide us toward a medley essences that speak to your needs, be it desires and dreams you would like to blossom, wounds or blocks you need help moving past, the wish to change behavior patterns or habits, addictions, inspirations, aspirations, or simply energies you’d like to infuse deeper into your life.

Your blend will be crafted in mindful ritual and ceremony, infusing it with intention and care. This formula will support you for about a month — afterward, you may choose to order another bottle of your personalized blend or book a follow-up consultation. I am always available for support via email if you are uncertain which path to follow.

*Because essences may be taken in a glass of water, the amount of alcohol ingested is miniscule. However, if you have alcohol sensitivities or triggers, please let me know and I will make your blend with vinegar or glycerine

*Since growing flowers is a huge passion of mine, I am able to make many essences out of the flowers in my garden. Others used in personalized blends may be from Bach flower remedies or other producers.
