I first encountered flower essences in my own healing process. I began getting to know the flowers and soon embarked on professional training with the Flower Essence Society. I have never stopped exploring the capacity of the flowers to bring about deep healing in people and animals in ways both gentle and profound. I find them to be particularly helpful in navigating grief.

As a child, I was happiest when immersed in nature, or spending time with my family, friends and cats. Professionally and personally, I have followed my soul promptings into the worlds of writing, reading, making music, storytelling, languages, the teaching of music and reading, and bringing contemplative practices into my life.
