Flower Essence Services offers a discount on flower essence stock and essential oils to qualified practitioners who are regularly helping clients on a professional basis with these therapies. Due to the pioneering nature of these healing modalities, it is necessary to document extensive empirical knowledge about the essences and oils; therefore, we ask in return that you help by contributing your experiences to our research program.

To Apply for Practitioner Discounts

Fill out the Practitioner Discount application. For your convenvenience, you may apply on-line and then go directly to our On-Line Store and order with the practitioner discount. Besides filling out the form, we request that you mail us your business card, letterhead, or other indication of your professional status.

Once your application has been approved, you are eligible to receive the Practitioner’s Discount on all orders. You do not need to wait for approval to place your order. If you send both your application and order we will process your application immediately. In case the application is not approved, we will contact you before sending the order.

Please note that the Practitioner Discount only applies to orders from the United States and Canada.

However, we do invite you to fill out the practitioner form and become part of the Practitioner Referral Network of the Flower Essence Society.

The Practitioner Research Program

FES is strongly committed to clinical documentation as a means of providing a solid empirical foundation for our work. For over fourteen years we have gathered careful records on practitioner use of the essences, with much of this information being cross-indexed in a specially designed computer database. Our goal for this coming decade is to broaden our documentation efforts by widening the circle of practitioners with whom we have active contact.

Your participation in our Practitioner Research Program helps to build a professional, collective pool of knowledge about flower essences and related therapeutic phenomena. By objectively gathering data from a diverse number of practitioners, a full portrait of a single flower remedy gradually emerges. Furthermore, practitioners’ general notes and impressions provide valuable information about the role of flower essence therapy within broad-based wellness programs.

Participation in the Practitioner Research Program

We request that you develop and maintain records for each client you see. This is a basic professional standard, and one which is vitally important in establishing the credibility of a new form of healing such as flower essence therapy. You will find that as you gather case study information on your clients, your files will become an important tool in the development of your practice, and in your understanding of the essences.

For detailed information on recommended procedures for note taking, please visit the Case Study Guidelines page of the Flower Essence Society website. You may also be interested in viewing the class offerings for in-depth training in the therapeutic use of flower essences.

From time to time you may receive a written survey from FES designed to obtain information about how flower essences are used in your particular profession (i.e. veterinary medicine, chiropractic, nursing, etc.), or the surveys may be more general for a wide group of practitioners. Our staff may also set up telephone interviews with you for the same purposes.

Meanwhile, please know that you are welcome at any time to submit cases, notes, or general impressions to our office. Many practitioners find that they are too busy to write; you can also consider sending us tapes, or setting up a phone interview with us. We are happy to call you at our expense to gather data from your practice. We urge you to stay in contact with us, as our busy schedule often keeps us from contacting as many practitioners as we would like.

Please note that cases presented to us are considered confidential; in fact, it is not necessary to include the names of your clients in your submissions to us. If we are interested in writing about one or more of your cases in any publications, we will first contact you for permission.

The FES Practitioner Referral Network

The Flower Essence Society is a clearinghouse for many questions and inquiries from the United States and Canada, and throughout the world. These questions come from persons seeking flower essence therapy for themselves, practitioners who are looking for colleagues or seeking local classes, students who may be engaged in research projects, and journalists who are investigating flower essence therapy.

We invite you to become part of the FES Practitioner Referral Network, and receive referrals from inquiries directed to the Flower Essence Society. We give out referrals only for the specific geographic area, or area of interest noted. We also screen queries to eliminate purely commercial requests.

To join the Referral Network, fill out the Practitioner Discount and Research program application, indicating your desire to join the network. You must also be a current Flower Essence Society Member ($20 per year). You can sign up on-line on the Flower Essence Society Web site. Click here for more information.
