How Flowers Changed My Life
Hi, I’m Sara, the founder of Lily Essence. My journey with flower essences began when I left the urban rush of New Jersey and spent a summer in rural Vermont. At that time, I was struggling with severe anxiety, panic attacks, and the feeling of being trapped in my own mind.
Running through fields of wildflowers, I felt something shift — as if the emotional weight I had been carrying lifted off my back, allowing me to breathe fully again. Curious and hopeful, I began learning all I could about natural remedies for emotional well-being. Sitting with flowers brought me back into the present moment, into my body, and into a sense of deep calm I hadn’t felt in years.
After 25 years as a school teacher, I felt called to share what flowers had taught me — their softness, their strength, and their ability to support emotional transformation. And that calling became Lily Essence.
