“I signed up for Jen’s flower essence class out of curiosity. I attended the first class not even really knowing what flower essences were. The classes were very informative. Jen has an extraordinary depth of knowledge about the flowers and their healing properties. Her enthusiasm in teaching the subject was delightful. The information she shared was interesting and insightful. I am intrigued enough to want to explore flower essences in my own healing process. I look forward to further studies with her.”

"After taking Jen Gouvea's Introduction to Flower Essences class an entirely new spiritual tool opened for me. I knew very little about flower essences and found Jen's warm and welcoming teaching style and packed curriculum a wonderful way to be introduced to this fascinating subject. The field is vast and leads the curious student to many opportunities to explore a lot of research and data driven practices. Despite what might be overwhelming for the novice, Jen made the experience fun, easy, and inviting. I highly recommend Jen as a masterful guide into this realm of personal growth and healing."

“Jen has a rare combination of intuitive and academic talents. Her 5-week class on flower essences opened the door to a world I knew little about. She encouraged us to form a personal relationship with the flower essences we were drawn to, while at the same time learning as much as possible about the plants' physical and spiritual qualities. I fell in love with the flower essence I was studying. I was amazed at its gentle power and ability to assist my growth.”

Flower Essences are vibrational remedies that are similar to Acupuncture, Reiki, Qigong and homeopathy. They are an excellent complementary modality to be used alongside counseling and other kinds of somatic bodywork. This course will introduce you to using flower essences to facilitate emotional and spiritual transformation. Students will learn about principles of vibrational medicine, the history of flower essences, and the field of flower essence therapy. Students will also learn to understand the properties of the flowers and how to choose flower essences for specific healing themes.

In this experiential class students will participate by keeping a flower essence journal and by completing a small personal flower essence project.I will be donating a free flower essence formula for each person in the class so that they can learn to work with essences according to their own personal healing theme.

Here are some highlights from the Winter 2012 Introductory Class on Flower Essences.
