Please complete the following questionnaire. At this time, we primarily use Bach Flower Essences and Flower Essence Society remedies. This questionnaire is from Flower Essence Society.

“Choosing Flower Essences is meant to be a tool for healing and self-discovery. The Assessment Guide is not meant to replace other methods of professional diagnosis for medical or psychiatric conditions, nor is it meant as a substitute for human-based counseling and other healing relationships. This guide contains profound, leading questions that convey deeper insight about each essence and its possible benefit. However you choose to use this resource, we hope that it may be a positive aid for you in learning the language of the flowers and in experiencing the incredible benefits of flower essence therapy.
