INTERVIEW

I was born in a family of gardeners and I have always had a special connection to plants. Being among them is like being in paradise for me. I spent 30 years working as a gardener and florist – including for the Prince of Wales and Prince Michael of Kent – before dedicating myself entirely to the healing power of plants.

Thanks to my experience I have a good knowledge of the plant world and the open mindedness of my upbringing meant that I am used to alternative ways of looking at the reality. I sense the energy of the plants, their vibration, and my mission is to reconnect humanity to them.

I create flower essences, to make special blends and mists which contain both hydrosols, that I make through distillation, and flower essences. Every plant has a different personality – which I can see very clearly – and each essence has a specific healing effect. I am also able to make up personal flower essence blends for people.

For me, the key message of the plants is to allow humans to express our inner truth, to reduce the stress caused by external factors and to be truly ourselves. I firmly believe that plants are here to help us in this process.
