About Sarah Nolan-Poupart
About Sarah Nolan-Poupart
I am a flower essence practitioner with a certificate in Anthroposophical Psychology.
Coming from a background in behavioural neuroscience, I’ve realized the cul-de-sac that is a purely materialistic approach to the mind and emotions. I initially went into neuroscience because of an interest in psychology and consciousness, but little did I know that my whole perspective on life would eventually change.
An eventual serendipitous introduction to Anthrososophy opened up my whole world. Anthroposophy – which means the Wisdom (Sophia) of the Human Being (Anthropos) – is a cosmology and path of inner development taught by Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), a philosopher and esoteric teacher.
Through these studies, I’ve familiarized myself with realms of life, soul and spirit that are so important to healing but often don’t get the attention they deserve. I’ve found that it’s not about denying the material reality but about integrating all dimensions of our being – and in so doing, unlocking the wisdom that exists in potential in and all around us.
Through my interest in Anthroposophy and herbalism – studying the works of Matthew Wood and other greats of herbalism – I joyously discovered the Bach flower essence remedies. From there, my journey into the world of flower essences began.
I’ve since dedicated myself to this magical realm of flower essences and continue to be amazed by the powerful connection that exists between flowers and the human soul. I’ve discovered that with the help of flower essences, it is possible to steadily create more and more inner coherence and wholeness. To me, this is the modern path to healing the soul.

Testimonials
“Sarah is an extraordinary listener, asking precise questions which helped me to reflect on a deeper level. I felt I was working with a real therapist who is interested in my problems, had compassion and a deep understanding of how flower essences could help me. Sarah is a fountain of wisdom, very humble, but right on. After each session I felt inspired to work with her combinations. I especially appreciated the way she explained the mysterious qualities each flower has and what effect they can have on me. I am deeply grateful that Sarah was recommended to me by a friend and hope that many people can benefit from her knowledge and understanding.”

“Sarah shows a special ability to really listen. I felt a change in the challenges I came to her with within just a few weeks. Thanks Sarah!!”
Nigel Gilmer
“It was very meaningful to work with Sarah and the flowers. She holds a very intentional space to make room for the intelligence of the flowers to come through. She centered and supported my experience and the flowers that showed up in each session as the priority which felt empowering in my personal relationship with the flowers and my own intuition about what I needed. She definitely had input when she saw a remedy that might be of value for me, and always left it up to me.
One aspect that really stands out is how much a certain dynamic has shifted in my 10 yr marriage. With the support of a safe place to share about the issues with Sarah and her experience with the flowers, I was able to release long standing resentments and clear my heart and the air with my husband. I was also more able to hear and honor my own boundaries. We have never been happier together. I deeply appreciate the flowers for this, and also Sarah.
I can’t recommend Sarah enough as a flower essence practitioner!
