From Skepticism to Self-Discovery: One Woman’s Healing Journey with Bach Flower Essences

Introduction:

When this client first started working with me, she was unsure about Bach Flower Essences—but open enough to give them a try. What unfolded was a beautiful journey back to herself. With her permission, I’m honored to share her story here in her own words.

The Disconnection

Amanda asked me to write a testimonial for her about some of my experiences with the flowers and there was a part of me that knew what to say and a part that just sat in ambivalence. So this is me being vulnerable and sharing some of my skepticism all at the same time.

I didn’t realize how much of myself I had set aside. How much of my softness, my strength, and my feminine energy had been buried under years of survival mode. As a veteran and a first responder, I had spent so long operating in a world that demanded toughness, where emotions were pushed aside, and the mission always came first. Believe me when I say it had felt that my strength was withering and being swallowed up by people, places, and things at this point.

Taking the First Step

When I started using Bach flowers, I wasn’t expecting much beyond a little balance. Maybe even just “nothing” but time with someone who had put in the work to do some of her own healing. But what I found was something deeper.

Every morning, I stood in the mirror and took the drops and repeated my affirmations, “I have all the help I need, I let go of old memories.” “I act with courage and inner strength. I am loving and care for others.” Heck, I repeated them in my car driving down the road although I couldn’t completely remember what they were. Especially when the effects were "wearing off." Those affirmations helped change how my mind was set up to hang on to the things that were destroying me.

Guys, there was evidence of this within the first 24 hours of me starting this new journey with Amanda. I was, without realizing it, giving myself permission to feel again. To be both strong and soft. To acknowledge the feminine part of me that I had forgotten, or maybe even rejected, in the name of resilience. For me, permitting myself to “look” was a key in my growth as a wounded human just looking for a peaceful place to land.

A Return to Inner Wisdom

Through this, I was reminded that the Highest Creator has already given us the tools to heal, to strengthen, and to reconnect. These gifts are woven into nature, into faith, into the very essence of who we are.

Amanda asked me once if I was ready to start thriving instead of surviving. She was really speaking of hope and love—all whilst people around her didn’t understand what she was doing with her life, giving people flowers. To me in the beginning this was just more new age crap, until I was reminded of the language we were never meant to forget.

These distant ideas were wrapped up in a little bottle of essence that were always meant to be in action territory. And no, to you jokers, it wasn’t hooch. For me, the hooch was not a place that healed my soul—it just actually made this world pleasurable when I needed it to be.

Redefining Strength and Wholeness

Affirmations, therapy, and prayer, along with the Bach flowers, helped bring balance and joy back into my life. I found myself speaking with more grace, more patience—not because I had lost my strength, but because I had redefined it.

I saw how this impacted my family, my marriage, and even the way I showed up for those I support. It wasn’t about being less; it was about being whole.

The Journey Continues

And now, as I write this, I realize I need to pick up the slack on this again. Life has a way of pulling us back into old patterns, but healing is a choice we make daily.

For anyone who has ever felt like they had to shut down parts of themselves just to get through the day, this journey has shown me that healing isn’t about undoing who you are—it’s about rediscovering the parts of you that were always there. Bach flowers, paired with intentional affirmations, therapy, and faith in the Creator’s gifts, helped me do just that.

The flowers helped me not to give up on being whole. Thank you Amanda for bringing them to my attention and loving that I was skeptical but interested. For helping me to reclaim some parts of me that were lost.

This story is a powerful reminder that healing isn’t linear—and often, it begins with a small step, even a skeptical one. I’m so grateful

to witness transformations like this every day. If you’re feeling disconnected or ready to rediscover your softness and strength, you’re not alone.
