The first session consists of you completing an assessment that explores your current issues with particular attention paid to current stressors, your specific goals, as well as emotional patterns of imbalance that may be holding you back.  The questions you answer will help to discern which flower essence(s) will fit your unique needs.  Occasionally, we may need to contact you by email or phone for clarification or additional questions after you fill out the form.  There are many essences available however the meticulous selection of essences to make a blend takes knowledge, skill and intuitive sensitivity. If you request a subsequent consultation(s), a similar process is provided but may include new essence(s), depending on the situation. 

Most often, flower essence consultations are a supportive and positive experience.  When you use flower essences you can achieve a number of benefits such as feeling a great sense of balance, letting go of uncertainty, having a better ability to confront life goals and challenges, increased personal awareness and a resolution of personal problems.  Furthermore, it is important to be aware that flower essence consultations may result in decisions about changing aspects of one's life such as behaviors, employment, housing, schooling or relationships. Sometimes a decision that is positive for one family member is viewed quite negatively by another family member. We expect that you will tune into your intuition and determine what is the best course of action for you. 

Many people take 4 drops of the flower essence blend 4 times a day in a glass of water or under the tongue. Alternatively, one may also apply the 4 drops onto the skin.  Many people find it helpful to set a timer on their phone as a reminder to take the essences 4 times daily.  There is no risk of overdosing and if you accidentally miss a dose, just pick up where you left off.

According to The Bach Centre, flower essences "work by flooding out negative feelings and emotions. Sometimes the emotions that are dealt with have been repressed and in order to clear them they have to be cleansed from the system. On very rare occasions this can take the form of a rash, or unexpected feelings may be stirred up. If this does occur for you, there is no reason to stop taking the remedies."  The active ingredient in a flower remedy is an energy from the plant, not a physical substance, therefore it will not interfere with the physical action of other medicines. Nor will the other medicine stop the Bach remedy from working.

When making flower essence bottles, we utilize non-GMO vegetable glycerin made from palm, grapeseed or coconut oil as a preservative.  Please let us know if you have any allergies or intolerances to these ingredients. 

The only point that may be of concern is the brandy which is used to bottle and preserve the stock remedies. This can usually be ignored as the amount of alcohol in a dose is minute.  However if someone is avoiding alcohol ingestion, they may prefer to use the drops topically.  Some people prefer to put their drops into hot water so the alcohol dissipates.  If you have been advised to avoid all traces of alcohol (such as when taking Antabuse/Disulfiram), please check with your prescribing doctor and/or pharmacist before proceeding with a consultation.
