Step onto the path of wellness. Regain balance of mind, body and spirit with Homeopathy, Bowen and Flower Essences.
Flower Essences are Energetic Solutions
We are not just a physical form but a complex system of mental, emotional, spiritual and physical energy bodies. Flower Essences offer healing information in an energetic or vibrational way. As such, flower essences do not have any of the side effects of chemical medicine. In order to thrive, flowers, when faced with environmental challenges, develop solutions that become part of their physical expression as well as their energetic vibration. They freely offer these gifts to humanity and the animal kingdom.
Dr Bach’s Flower Remedies
In the 1930’s, Dr Edward Bach, a doctor recognised for his groundbreaking work as a homeopath, discovered the healing power of flower essences. He made the Bach Flower Remedies. These bring relief from different kinds of emotional discomfort and distress, based on his belief that the underlying moods or states of mind that people experience, are a key factor in most diseases. He found that his flower essences increased mental and physical vitality, which helps resolve physical disease. Dr Bach said; “They cure, not by attacking disease, but by flooding our bodies with the beautiful vibrations of our Higher Nature, in the presences of which disease melts like snow in the sunshine.” (3)
Since Dr Bach’s time, many other intuitive healers from around the world have been inspired to research the healing qualities of flowers.
My Journey with Flower Essences
On my journey with Flower Essences, I was inspired by Dr Bach’s teachings and philosophy and went on to train in Floral Acupuncture™ using Bach Flower remedies with Deborah Craydon of Flora Corona. I have also completed Flora Corona Aloha training and Flora Corona Colour and Light training. I am currently furthering my studies with the School for Flower Essence Studies.

Flower Essences Help Us Evolve
Stored within flower essences are evolutionary forces which, when taken or applied to the body, become an evolutionary force in the consciousness which may stimulate inspiration and change.
How does this happen? A flower is the highest vibrational expression of a plant. By ingesting or applying a flower essence, long term mental, emotional, and spiritual energy blocks that impede the movement of energy in our bodies can be dissolved. The accompanying self-realisation promotes joy, happiness and better health.
How I use Flower Essences in my Practice
I frequently use Bach Flower Essences topically to enhance Bowen therapy treatments. The method I use is one in which flower essences are infused in water and applied topically to specific acupuncture points on the body. This is known as Floral Acupuncture™, a method devised by Deborah Craydon and Warren Bellows.
Using Flower Essences with Bowen Therapy
Bowen moves excite body sensations that help to identify the meridian of energy most needing support.
A Bach Flower Essence with an affinity for this meridian is applied topically via a ” watery medium”. In this way, the healing vibration of the Flower Essence is carried directly into the meridian.
Using Flower Essences with Homeopathy
As a homeopath, firstly I prescribe homeopathic remedies, however a flower essence mixture may be included to support your emotional wellbeing during homeopathic treatment. Like homeopathic medicine, flower essences are gentle, safe and effective and they do not interfere with homeopathic remedies.
