Energetic Plant Medicine
Plant medicine may be woven into sessions via flower essences, handcrafted herbal tinctures, essential oils, and other methods. We incorporate energy medicine practices with drop-dose plant wisdom through pulse testing to support the the body's flow of life force energy. This work supports you in bringing attention to your own inner experiences and personal growth with the assistance of plant medicine.
Plants have been our guides and helpers as long as humans have walked on the planet. They possess the ability to remind us how to flow through life smoothly again when energy and emotions become stuck, stagnant, or depleted.
Plant medicine can be especially useful when a person is in a life transition, when doing growth work, or whenever we have the desire to simply feel more deeply nourished. The plants provide subtle, yet powerful support to help you along your path as you release the conditioned layers of "not you" in order to express more of who you are with clarity and confidence.

Sharing Plant Medicine
Some herbal products are strictly medicine. Some are just plain fun. They all help to forge the sometimes forgotten, yet inherent bond between plants and people. Learning plant medicine is a life changing art and science that can open many doors for us on the journey of self-healing, personal transformation, and community care. Plants truly are one of the the original medicines. Here are some of the topics I've enjoyed learning about sharing about with others over the years.
- Using tinctures, flower essences, and essential oils in energy medicine and bodywork practices
- Utilizing plant spirit medicine and other aspects of relational herbalism
- Making herbal tinctures, flower essences, salves, syrups, and other herbal goodies
- Foraging, ethical wildcrafting & wild nutrition
- Growing, harvesting & processing medicinal herbs
- Exercises in observation and awareness & developing relationships with plants
- Holistic anatomy & physiology concepts
- Exploring plant communication & consciousness
- Community herbalism topics
Essential Oils
As a formally trained herbalist and flower essence practitioner who wildcrafted and handmade all of my herbal products for years, I was resistant to using essential oils for a long time. I did not think something pre-made, in a bottle from a factory could carry the same kind of intelligence as the bioregional plants I had worked to build personal relationships with. Then, I experienced a Symphony of the Cells™ session for myself. As a craniosacral therapist, acupuncturist, and energy worker, I am pretty attuned to body-mind-energy shifts in my own system. After the session, I was aware of so many interesting micro-adjustments happening throughout my system - a sense of subtle, yet powerful connection and reorganization - similar to what happens with craniosacral therapy. So, out of curiosity, I ordered a few oils and started pulse testing them like I do flower essences and herbal tinctures. To my surprise, they tested really well for people and I started seeing some beautiful and profound things happen during sessions! Around the same time, I started studying more in depth with teachers like Lori Eve Dechar and Jeffery Yuen who use essential oils in their acupuncture practices. These combined experiences helped me begin to understand more about this deep well of knowledge and whole system support that is available to us. Now, years later, essential oils are an integral part of my practice.
I will never jump on the bandwagon that preaches essential oils as a fix for everything or that they should be haphazardly consumed internally. Of course, they will never take the place of good nutrition, proper movement, restful sleep, trauma healing, and stress reduction. And let's be real, who wants to admit that something from an MLM company actually works and works well? (I know I struggled with that at first). But, time and again, I've seen them lend profound support as we do our inner work and tap into our own deep wisdom and healing capacity. I have personally experienced it and have witnessed it for years now with clients. The intelligence they lend to the process of our healing journeys is nothing short of feeling magical at times!
I have worked with so many people over the years who are exhausted, burned out, and depleted mentally, physically, energetically, and spiritually. One of the ways oils work is that they lend us their energy, potential, and wisdom. They give us a more restful, passive way to support ourselves when it's hard to muster the drive to more actively do the things we think we "should" be doing for ourselves. They allow us to rest into their support as things reorganize in our systems. As we go through layers of healing, processing, and integration, they continue to support us along the way with their nuanced wisdom as our own energy systems and stories shift.
In my practice, I work with the energetic, spiritual, emotional, and sensory qualities of the oils. I also tend to emphasize the simple power of embracing how much beauty they can bring into our lives. There is something absolutely lovely and life-affirming about smelling pure rose oil or a lively citrus in the middle of a Wisconsin winter. If you're interested in learning more about how essential oils can support us with these aspects of life, here is a book you might enjoy. (There is also an app available).
If you want more information about how I use oils in my energy medicine/bodywork practice, or if you want to nerd out with me about the uses and indications of essential oils, versus flower essences, versus herbal tinctures, etc, feel free to reach out. I am not a "salesperson." (I will never pressure anyone to buy anything because that's just not how I operate). But, I am a teacher at heart and I love to share about the life transformations I've witnessed. I am more than happy to give resources and tools to get you started. If you decide to make a membership order, I do offer a free 30 minutes Symphony of the Cells™ session so you can start to experience this kind of plant medicine for yourself. If you'd prefer other, high quality, non-MLM sources for oils, check out Mountain Rose Herbs, Starwest Botanicals, or Vibrant Blue Oils.
