Cassie’s Experience: First Light® Flower Essences Work!

Sometimes the most powerful discoveries come when we are simply searching for ways to help the people we love.

You may know the feeling, wanting to help your children or those close to you navigate emotions and life’s ups and downs.

Meet Cassie, a Mum and First Light® student who discovered flower essences while looking for natural ways to support herself and her family.

She shares her honest, heartfelt and inspiring experiences.

Cassie lives in Australia with her partner and three children (4, 9 and 16 years). 

She told us, ‘We value healthy wholefoods, alternative healing modalities, time in nature and connection with our like-minded group of friends to keep our body, mind and spirits as healthy as possible. 

Like Five Wrecking Balls

Before discovering First Light® flower essences I felt that our family unit was quite disconnected. No matter what we tried we just couldn’t get on the same page.

We were like five wrecking balls constantly triggering each other. Dinner time or time in the car were disasters waiting to happen. My coping bandwith was almost non-existent!

Dark Spirals

I had been experimenting with alternative healing modalities for almost ten years, searching for a way to heal from severe past traumas and help my dysregulated emotions and frequent dark spiral episodes.

Instantly Intrigued

I first discovered First Light® flower essences in August 2025 when I listened to a podcast episode with Eugenie Kruger (Homeopathy Hangout) interviewing Jodi from First Light®.

I was instantly intrigued by the fern essences – specifically that they can allow a person to heal trauma without having to re-live or remember the trauma. 

First One I Tried

The first flower essence that I tried was my Constitutional Blend made from my birth date. 

I envisioned all the fragmented parts of myself coming back to my heart centre,  that they were all being lovingly brought back in and realigned and I felt an immediate sense of calm.

I enjoy putting my constitutional blend in my cuppa every morning as I set the intention to centre myself – ready for the day ahead.

Incredible Change With Our Youngest Daughter

Our youngest daughter, Willow, has always struggled with change.  Any change is BIG for her, and it was really emotionally taxing for her father and myself to navigate her big emotions and hold space for her.

I tried multiple alternative modalities to support her to navigate change but there was no improvement.

Once she started taking her Constitutional Blend (which contains an essence that supports her to move through change with fluidity) I noticed that things that would normally trigger her, didn’t phase her at all. 

We are currently moving house, she has been singing and playing while we have been packing up boxes. In the past she would scream and cry at the sound of masking tape! This is truly incredible!

Easy Getting Started At Home

At first I thought they would be complicated to use – but it is super easy to get started at home. I’m so happy I bought the Flower Essence Kit with eighty four essences, and I make up blends whenever I want to.  

My Intuition

I also love using my intuition to choose essences, flipping through the Sacred Plant Medicine of Aotearoa Book and landing on a page, or using the First Light® flower cards to guide meI

I often use the keyword search on the website.

Kids Love My 3:3 Method

I work on the 3 : 3 method. 3 x drops / 3 x times per day, as it makes it easier for me to remember. 

I give our kids 3 drops first thing when they wake up, then I put 3 drops in their water bottle so they can sip it during the day, and then I give them 3 drops before bed.  They love it and now ask for flower essences.

I’m Speaking Up More

I have noticed that my capacity to handle difficult things is expanding.

I am speaking up more and being more direct with my words.

I have had these incredible moments of feeling pure joy which I’ve never experienced before. I feel that my emotions are more stable, the intense swings and dark spirals are dramatically less and I am able to move through any emotion with a lot more ease.  

I Now Have Hope We Can All Heal Ourselves

 I felt like I was on a never-ending merry-go-round of healing modalities for years but things weren’t shifting as I had hoped they would…there are no words to describe how incredibly liberating this is. 

Helping My Girlfriends Is Special

Recently some of my girlfriends experienced big life events and it is the most wonderful thing to be able to give my girlfriends a flower essence blend, knowing that it will support them to move through whatever they are experiencing.

It’s a special kind of feeling. 

They’ve since reached out and asked me to make up blends for their children too. To be able to help a friend in such a unique way is truly special 

My Advice? First Light® Flower Essences Work – Try Them!

There is nothing more important to me than finding natural ways to support my family. I have spent a lot of money without seeing much results.

I highly recommend Mums try First Light® essences to support their children because they are very gentle, they work and they are super easy to use.

I intend using them for myself, my family, friends and eventually with clients!’
