Integrative Counseling /Grief Work/Flower Essence Therapy
“My heart is my greatest guide. It shows me how to open to the magic of being alive.”
Welcome
I have followed a feminine mystical healing path throughout my life, led by my connection with nature and the spiritual love and devotion of my heart. I offer gratitude to all of my teachers, guides, and angels.
As a retired LCSW, Internal Family Systems trained, trauma-informed psychotherapist and having decades of spiritual development in different lineages, including Christian mysticism, yoga, and Buddhism; I offer the depth and breadth of my experience and perspective in guiding the healing process.
As a woman, life has been my greatest teacher. Living and loving in all my roles past and present, as a mother, daughter, sister, friend, wife and partner; with grief and joy being the emotional bookends of that experience. Being a witness and support to the grief process has offered me a quiet, simple joy, which I love sharing with others.

About Flower Essence Therapy
Lady’s Mantle – Alchemilla vulgaris
“Health depends on being in harmony with our souls.”
– Dr. Edward Bach
Connecting to Ourselves
Flower Essence Therapy, as taught by Dr. Edward Bach, is a path of self-discovery, self-knowledge and self-healing. I love the magic and mystery of working with flower essences and yet what I love even more is the practical, down to earth aspect of flower essence therapy as a way to care for ourselves, which is an empowering act of healing in and of itself. The feeling experience is often, “It’s okay to be me!”
Connecting to Nature and Spirit
The flower essences connect us to our wholeness, bringing ourselves into harmony and balance with our inner feminine and masculine energies, restoring our grounding in the earth and uplifting our spiritual selves, our dignity and divinity. Being more aligned creates internal peace and calm; encouraging us to be a Star and shine our light into the world. The flower essences help us unite our heart with the hearts of the cosmos and Mother Earth, allowing the healing energy of self-acceptance to flow through us. It is this connection, this relationship, which is the heart of our healing.
Connecting to Others
I believe we are here to learn how to love and how to receive love. This is our human nature, what we most desire and where our healing is most needed. The most powerful healing of all is through the love of human connection. And this where the flowers can be our most welcome teachers and allies.
Testimonials
“Marsha is a skillful, insightful and compassionate listener, and she has a gift in creating a safe and calm space for inviting the flowers to be part of our conversation.
With Marsha’s guidance and knowledge, and the flowers at our side, I have experienced a significant shift in many areas of my life that previously I’d struggled to transform, in fact, thinking it was impossible to do so. She brings a fresh perspective to my story, helping me to discover deeper layers of the struggle, and she offers suggestions in a gentle, yet direct, way. Marsha reminds me continually that the flowers are here to help me, and thanks to her, they are!”
– Meredith, Waldorf Teacher & Zen Buddhist Practitioner – Shelburne, VT
“Marsha has been doing flower essence consultations and custom remedies for me for the past 6 months. The whole process has been very nourishing. Her sensitivity, intuition, and beautiful open-heartedness makes each session truly healing.
I tend to get scattered in my thinking and she always gently keeps me on track, bringing me back to what is most important as she guides me to explore what essences I am needing. She holds a wonderful healing space where I feel completely heard and seen in each session. She clearly has a deep love and connection with Nature and the flower essences and through this connection the just right essences emerge in our sessions almost like magic.
The combinations of essences have been very helpful, opening me up to aspects of myself and my life I had not been aware of. New insights and subtle shifts have taken place and Marsha’s careful inquiry and support in our follow-up calls have helped me to see these changes and feel into what I might need next.
Marsha is a delightful and gifted flower essence practitioner and I feel very grateful to be working with her!”
– Kristine Jensen Smith, Clairvoyant healer – Boulder, CO
