My introduction to flower essences dates back to the late 1970s. I used essences sporadically for fifteen years, usually for support in coping with daily stress. In 1993 I began working with them more extensively. With daily use, attending workshops and conferences, and studying, I was eventually led to start my own practice in 1997. In 1999 I received my Flower Essence certification from Delta Gardens. I have the heart-felt satisfaction of knowing I have found my true calling.

In 1998 I helped co-found the Flower Essence Study Group of Ithaca. We meet once a month and cover a wide range of topics relating to flower essences and their uses. We have sponsored weekend workshops and outside speakers.
