How Cameron’s Life Changed

At just 23, Cameron has an Ecology Degree, is a Qualified First Light® Practitioner seeing clients, and someone whose life has been transformed through the power and intelligence of nature.

Today, he works helping protect and restore New Zealand’s native environment through predator control advising and biodiversity monitoring — educating people on how to better care for the land and the species that call it home.

But his journey with flower essences began during one of the hardest periods of his life and he told us about it.

A Tui Experience

” I have always loved nature and, while deciding on a career path at school, I was unsure what direction to take until one day I had an experience with a Tūī and the insight that there must be a university degree focused on helping the environment.

I discovered ecology, and the rest is history!

Anxiety, Then Everything Changed

During my final year of school, I sustained a serious head injury while playing rugby, which resulted in ongoing physical symptoms and related mental health challenges, particularly anxiety.

Unexpected Support

A friend of mine had a grandparent who was a First Light® Practitioner. She understood head injuries, recognised that I needed some support, and offered to make me a few blends.

The First Shifts

I remember taking my Power Flower© essence and feeling calm and connected. 

The first shifts I noticed were increased confidence and the ability to follow what I wanted to do despite the fear. 

I felt calmer and had a greater sense of self-awareness.

I Was Fascinated

I was fascinated by the idea that each First Light® essence contains the spirit of the plant, and that when you take the essence, you are taking in its vibration. I now see each plant as a being in its own right and has special gifts for the world.

I Just Knew

I enrolled in a First Light® College of New Zealand Native Flower Essence Therapy course to learn about how the First Light® fern essences could help clear trauma, the teachings resonated deeply and I intuitively knew I needed to do all the courses.  I enrolled into a Certificate in New Zealand Native Flower Essence Therapy course.

I Helped Others While Studying

I always wanted to help people and working with First Light® flower essences seemed like a natural progression, especially after experiencing such incredible shifts through using flower essences myself.

While studying, I was doing consultations, making up blends and earning a small income from that.

Unexpected Moments

As I studied the courses and Franchelle Ofsoské-Wyber’s teachings, I came to understand that we are multi-faceted beings, and that dis-ease begins in the metaphysical before the physical, which means it is important to address the energy and spirit of the person.

Why The Soul Is Here

It also helped me understand that our soul is here to grow and evolve, and that embracing these lessons is the foundation of a fulfilling life.

I Am A Completely Different Person

I feel I am a completely different person, and have become a much more aware, kind and loving person. I feel much more confident in myself and my daily life.  I feel more empowered and I am excelling at work.

I feel joy and vitality and passion to be alive. I feel much more open to challenges and lessons. I can express myself better. I am more accepting of others.

Connected To My Life Purpose

The most meaningful shift has been feeling a deep sense of purpose in how I am living my life and feeling blessed and grateful to be where I am.

I would love to bring together ecological knowledge and flower essence therapy in a therapeutic way to bring healing, connection and joy to people’s lives as both are interconnected.

My Advice? Follow the Feeling

‘The depth. I love understanding things that I choose to learn at a deep level, and the First Light® courses go deep.’

What if you feel drawn to working with the essences too?

If you are feeling the nudge to explore First Light® flower essences: Follow the feeling and give it a go whether it be trying a blend or doing a course.  Try one – I felt myself heal deeply and change in a very positive and lasting way.

Read more about it, try that course, try that blend!

But most importantly get out into nature more and connect directly with the special healing native plants of New Zealand.
