Starflower Essences are luminary infusions of natural flower and stone in water preserved in an alcohol base. These beautiful natural medicines are taken internally as remedy tinctures to help us align with our own healing, power, and wisdom: our divinity.
Starflower Essences are made from wild and/or organic flowers and local stones and crystals. They are preserved in locally made fruit brandy and water.
Every essence is created through an ongoing respectful reciprocal relationship with the land, the spirits of place, seasonal flow, and the beauty way of each flower and stone. Starflower essences are made with astrological timing and an understanding of the cosmic dance; each one is gifted with sound healing from instruments tuned to the earth and solar system. Every step in creating the essences has been guided by the spirit of nature to craft medicine that can meet the needs of this time on earth.
How They Work
Flower and crystal essences work with our subtle energy systems, bringing life force to places in us that are out of balance. Starflower Essences help access our body/spirit/mind and emotional wisdom, bringing our highest Self forward and releasing the rest.
My Story
Since I was a child I’ve had a deep reverence and relationship with the natural world; I would listen to the wind in the trees and the stars in the night sky and follow their guidance. Many years of University took me away from this natural calling and way of being in the world. In my early 30s I decided to begin shamanic training in order to bring back what I felt I had lost.
In 2007 when I was 37, during my shamanic training, the call of the earth again rose up around me and messages poured through my heart. They were messages of hope and healing coming up through the plants and crystals of the earth. “Everything you need to heal, is right here at your feet. Make the medicine.”
I had already been using Bach Flower Essences for years and my understanding of their power and effectiveness was well established. So I began to make essences of the flowers and crystals found around my home, and the province of Nova Scotia. What ensued is a life of living reverence for plant and stone, earth and sky, and spirit of place. The path of a medicine woman.
AS we heal our traumas and reconnect to our sense of wholeness a natural flow of energy flows through us. We enter back into the healing garden which is of itself sovereign and abundant.
Making essences requires a lot of sitting and listening and being. We slowly over time get to know each flower and build life long relationships. We listen to ourselves and the other and the place where the two entwine. This is the place where one meets the expansive universe and true healing flows.

How to Use Starflower Essences
Care:
Keep your essence upright, and out of direct sunlight, near computers, or heat. Don’t let the essence sit in the rubber stopper, squeeze contents out of the dropper after each use.
Store your essence bottle in a place that is calm and clean.
If you feel the essence has lost it’s potency:
Place the essence in a small dish of sea salt for half an hour or so, shake vigorously, or tap the bottom of the bottle on your palm to reactivate the vibration.
Administering:
Take 4 drops of the essence under the tongue or in water 4 times a day. Also use it in your bath, in an altar water bowl, or directly on the skin. Try placing a few drops of chakra essence on the chakra that you are working with.
If you find the essence is too potent try a number of things:
-lower the dosage: try just one or two drops once, or several times a day.
-pulse the dosage: use the essence only on alternate days. One day on, one day off.
-make a remedy bottle from your stock tincture: fill another 10 or 15ml bottle half with brandy and water, add 4-6 drops of your essence into this bottle. Shake vigorously for about a minute.
Work with your intention for healing and positive change in your life. Use the essence when you are meditating, out in nature, during yoga or dance, before bed, or when journalling. Take time to feel the essence circulate through your energy body(water helps), working with your intentions for transformation and change. Essences work “with” your Higher Self, so we often do not know how the shifts will take place. Slow down, get present, and open yourself to your own potential and destiny.
