PERSONALISED FLOWER ESSENCE BLENDS for you...
I work with a huge range of flower essences every day in both my homeopathy and healing practice. They are the perfect tool to help us navigate difficult times and balance our emotions. They can help us work through our emotions without suppressing them, they may even open us up to new perspectives or insights, and, very often, they awaken a deeper awareness of emotional patterns and grooves that we might be stuck in. Those of us who are walking a path of awakening or personal development will recognise how difficult, sometimes painful, it can be to shift and transform these patterns. Flower essences can act as an all important, supportive friend to us as we work through these moments of transformation or need.
​
​
​
Flower essences are the result of infusing or imprinting the energetic signature of a flower into water, usually with sunlight, so that the energetic properties of that flower are recorded in the water, rather like music on to an old vinyl disc. Have you ever experienced a sense of relief or uplift when you walk into a beautiful garden? This is something I personally experience very strongly, and is what has drawn me to the use of flower essences personally and professionally. I have long understood the healing benefits of flower power, and so I am so happy to be to sharing the secret of their magic with others.

Which essences are for me?
​
Choosing from the vast array of essences available on the market can feel overwhelming as we search for the ones that most match our emotional needs. We want them all! Once we have drawn up our short list, we are then faced with the reality of the cost, and then, some of them we only need for a short while.
​
Instead of buying all of them, why not create a combination blend of the essences that most resonate for you in a single bottle?
