During a flower essence consultation, Penni will work with you to determine where the holistic level of focus should be (body, mind or spirit). She will identify which essences will be most helpful to you—usually starting off supporting the system to help it feel safe and whole. Then, over time the system is encouraged to work on old issues, ultimately helping the energetic system understand some new possibilities for responding. This helps us feel more energetic and whole. Usually flower essences are taken internally, but some find it more helpful to place it on the physical body (i.e., the neck or some specific point of pain) or both. Some people take their essences every 15 minutes; some take them once a week. Part of the consultation includes determining how often to take your essences. Penni uses flower essences from several different sources including California Flower Essences (FES) and Findhorn Flower Essences, as well as sources in India, Alaska and others.

Flower Essences & Therapeutic Touch

Some people find it very advantageous to have a Therapeutic Touch treatment after discussing their challenges and choosing a flower essence combination. This is a mostly hands-off treatment, working with the energy field surrounding the body and affecting all levels of consciousness. Some people can feel shifts in their bodies immediately, while others notice a difference over time. Therapeutic Touch promotes relaxation, alters the perception of pain and mobilizes the individual’s own healing energies. Therapeutic Touch and Flower Essences do not interfere with any medications or treatments you may be taking. The modalities are safe and effective in balancing your energy system so that it works more efficiently and effectively. Some clients find it decreases pain and the need for other medications.
