Flower essences have brought me much joy over the years and continue to shower me with gifts and surprises every day. Seeing the subtle yet profound effects they have had on my own life over the last 5 years fills me with a desire to share them with you. My life has changed for the better, making space for nature seems so natural now to me, but hasn’t always been. For the first time in a very long time, I felt “right” about what I was doing. Working with nature is such a blessing; it teaches me new things every day and feeds my soul, it asisst’s me to stay in a state of balance and harmony. One day after a healing session in Glastonbury I was travelling back to London with two friends. One suggested I try flower essences; she referred me to an amazing woman called Muriel who was treating in Neal’s Yard Nottinghill. She worked with Alaskan Essences a range created by Steve Johnson. Steve’s accompanying book of explanations was full of amazing quotes and photographs, I was overwhelmed and excited. I’d been exploring the world of alternative therapies for a while but had never come across flower therapy before. I investigated further and each stone I turned made me more sure I wanted to train as a flower therapist. I love nature (especially tropical), travelling, creating and meeting new people and this new crazy idea I had allowed me to do all of them for a living. I started out my training in Homer, Alaska. The course was aimed at therapists who wanted to engage with essences or people like me who were new to therapy and wanted to work solely with essences. After my time in Alaska I travelled to Africa, Trinidad, Tobago, Jamaica & India where I created my own range of essences. When my travels ended I wanted to find a way to bring the nature that I experienced in my travels into my future day-to-day life, wherever I was in the world. So I set about infusing the different essences I had created into products that I use all the time. Working with products that we all use everyday and make essences accessible to everyone. My mission is to introduce, in the simplest way possible, the balancing and healing powers of essences encouraging us all to become more intimate with nature. I’ve worked in music for over 16 years and have what is considered to be a successful career.I got to a point where I wanted something else; I wasn’t being fulfilled fully anymore by what I was doing. I kept booking holidays further a field in remote places and trying to do the student back packer thing in my “two weeks” off. After every trip I felt clearer that life wasn’t about living to work. The feeling I would get when I looked out my window to the turquoise waters, with fruit trees in my garden, the vibrant flowers and hummingbirds flying or the noise of the insects letting us know their busy at work was feeding my soul something it had been missing too much.
