“During the late 1990s I suffered overwhelming frustration, anxiety and depression. My mum, Ruty, always a believer in natural herbal remedies, suggested I try plant extracts and flower essences discovering that traditional medicines made me feel even worse.

I was in a bad place and not easily convinced that her remedies would help me. But sometimes circumstances force us to open our eyes and see beyond the surface. I tried flower essences and remember exactly how things in my life began to change.

I felt a balance that I hadn’t felt in a long time. After a prolonged period of inner darkness this profound and mysterious change brought my spark back. It was as if I was reborn. More than this, the essences had awakened a wonderful inner power that I never knew I had. I started to realise the wisdom and wonders of nature and how they can change my life.

This is where my life’s journey started. With encouragement from everyone around me I spent the next few years discovering the wonderful world of flowers, meeting incredible people that spend their lives in nature, helping others heal using the power of flower essences.

As I travelled the world, I was always surprised to find that the use of flower essences, although proven successful, was still limited to practitioners of alternative healing modalities. People usually discovered flower essences due to illness. I was even more surprised to find out that most people I talked with hadn’t even heard about flower essences nor their potential.

One day, while admiring my global flower essence collection, I was struck by a very strong physical sensation. I remember that day like it was yesterday. I felt overwhelmed with love, true happiness and abundance.

At that moment I knew the power of the flowers; I was so grateful that it made me want to share my experiences with the world. Then and there I made a promise to find a way to make it easy for everyone to have access to – and be extraordinarily empowered by – flower essences.

I’ve learned a lot over the years. I didn’t know anything about manifesting my promise. But the most important thing I've learned is that we must follow our hearts. And that without the work, good will and inspiration of so many people along the years I would have never made it to this point.

For me, Conscious Water is a daily reminder to reconnect to ourselves, and find inspiration, trust and faith both from within and from nature around us. I hope with all my heart that Conscious Water will be as life changing for you as it has been for me.”
