about the course:
Are you a practitioner who works with mental and emotional health? Do your patients get stuck in thought loops, or struggle with internal blocks or emotions that get in the way of their healing? Do you wish you had more to offer than just talking or action lists patients aren’t motivated to act on
Using essences, you can directly address underlying mental emotional causes of disease, and help patients over their obstacles to cure.
Flower essences are an inexpensive, safe and effective intervention that can make all your other protocols more effective and bring ease, joy and purpose to your patients.
Essences can be a great addition to your existing practice and treatment toolbox. They are easy for patients to use and employ critical evaluation skills you already have in place.
