Essences are powerful deep acting way of using plants and flowers to assist in healing and spiritual development. They were first introduced to the modern world by Dr Edward Bach (1886 - 1936) a British doctor and homoeopath who wanted to find a more simple and yet powerful type of medicine. It also seems that some form of flower therapy has been used around the world for thousands of years.
Essences, like Reiki, have a wide range of application and can be useful in most situations. In Flower Essence Therapy we are treating the person - not the disease or the symptoms of the disease. Areas where I have used them effectively are -
- Depression
- Stress
- Low Energy
- Overcoming Blocks
- Improving concentration and retention
- Bereavement
- Pregnancy
- PMS
- Finding vocation or life path
- Emotional healing
- Confidence
Flower Essences are liquid tinctures usually in a brandy base. They are taken in drops under the tongue or in a glass of water. They can also be used in sprays, creams, oils and baths. Although Dr Bach made essences from plants and trees only, we now have many essences from around the world made from crystals and the energies of animals and other beings.
I teach introductory workshops on Essences for self-healing. Please contact me for details.

"The time when Ali was my Flower and Gem Essence practitioner was a period of accelerated personal growth. She helped me to understand the dynamics in my life in much more clarity, so that I could learn and move on. I was able to release my blocks to prosperity and transform my family relationships. Ali helps you to find your own truth, your beauty and your power"
