For those who love animals as much as we do ๐Ÿพ


Dear animal lovers ๐Ÿพ

When I started working with animals and flower essences back in 2008, I often felt like I was figuring it out alone.

There weren't many books about using flower essences with animals, and they rarely covered more than the Bach Flowers. The information on essences was primarily human-focused, and the animal behavior world had little awareness of vibrational medicine. I had some clues from my training, a few ideas, and my deep love for the animals in my care โ€” but very few people with whom I could think through my cases.

That's exactly why I wanted to create this group.


๐Ÿพ The Animal Cases Mentoring Group is a monthly gathering for flower essence practitioners who work with animals, and for serious enthusiasts who use essences with the animals in their lives.

โ€‹
You don't need to be on a practitioner path.
If you've completed the Canine Care course, Bach Flower Foundations, or have a solid working knowledge of the essences and a passion for animal wellbeing, you belong here.

Each month we bring real cases to the circle:
๐Ÿถ the dog who won't settle
๐Ÿด the horse with mysterious behavioral shifts
๐Ÿฑ the rescue animal carrying a history we can only guess about
๐Ÿฆ and more

We look at them together, and something magical happens in that group exploration.

When we consult the collective wisdom of the group โ€” each person bringing their own experience, their own intuition and relationship with the plants โ€” the way we see a case expands in ways that simply don't happen when we're working alone. Every person in the room brings something that amplifies the whole.

Animals are such honest clients. They don't pretend they are ok, they don't overthink their issues, and they respond clearly to the essences. Working with animal cases teaches us things about the essences that human cases sometimes can't, and those insights travel back into every other dimension of our practice.

If you're a practitioner who sees human clients, animal case work will make you better at that too.


As an Essence Deepening member, you'll also find a dedicated section in the Deepening Collection called Working with Rescue Dogs โ€” a complete standalone training covering the flower essences most relevant to rescue dog behavior: separation anxiety, food insecurity, nervous system settling, family integration, and hands-on calming techniques. It's there whenever you want to go deeper between sessions.


The Animal Cases Mentoring Group is included in the Essence Deepening Membership, along with the Client Care and Business Building groups, monthly Deepening Sessions, the Deepening Collection content library, and everything in Essence Essentials.

A standalone subscription is also available for those who want just this group.

There's no better way to deepen your animal work than in the company of fellow animal lovers who take the essences as seriously as you do. I'd love to see you there.

flowering honeysuckle

Hello there Reader, Someone seems disengaged from their life. Theyโ€™re distracted, daydreaming, not fully present. Clematis or Honeysuckle? On paper, the two can sound quite similar. Even the plants have something in common: both are scrambling, climbing types. But look more closely, and theyโ€™re moving in very different directions. ๐ŸŒฟ With Clematis, the person isnโ€™t fully here because theyโ€™reโ€ฆ somewhere else. Unfocused, floating, not quite bringing their full presence into physical reality. ๐ŸŒธ...

Upcoming Live Chat ๐Ÿ’ฌ In preparation for our upcoming dive into the Bach flowers, we've been looking at Clematis and realizing how helpful it is for staying focused, especially with the onslaught of distractions. We thought this topic would be a great one to bring to our live chat. What essences and strategies do you rely on for managing attention? Join us for our live chat to share notes and discover new ideas. Date: Wednesday, September 9, 2026 Time: 12:00 pm (Noon) Pacific | 3:00 pm Eastern...

Bright flower greetings Reader, When a Holly tree grows within reach of browsing animals, something remarkable can happen. If its leaves are eaten, the next leaves that come in grow with more prickles. But higher up the same tree, safely beyond an animalโ€™s reach, the leaves are smoother, with the prickles disappearing almost entirely. The plant seems to produce the protection it needs, and no more. ๐ŸŒฟ Holly is one of the first essences weโ€™ll explore in Bach Flowers in Contemporary Practice...
