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 human psychology. I initially went into neuroscience because of an interest in the mind and emotions, 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 Anthroposophy, 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 finally unite the light of the intellect and the warmth of the heart through the imagination. To me, this is the modern path to healing the soul.
