About The Manifestory
The Manifestory is a flower essence practice rooted in land, plants, and lived experience.
​
This work grew from years of working with landscapes – outer and inner – and from a long relationship with plants as teachers, allies, and subtle communicators.
Flower essences are the form this relationship has taken: gentle remedies that support emotional balance, intuitive clarity, and meaningful change.
​
The Approach
We work with flower essences as part of an intentional practice – one that respects cycles, timing, and the intelligence of both plants and people.
​​
Our approach at The Manifestory is shaped by:​​
​
-
ecological systems thinking
-
seasonal awareness
-
intuitive listening
-
emotional nuance
-
respect for subtle processes
​
Rather than negating emotions, the essences support internal spaciousness and regulation – allowing patterns to soften and reorganize naturally, within the gentle support of the plants' energetic systems.
​​
Background & Influences
My creation of The Manifestory is informed by my formal training in landscape architecture, geography, and urban design, all of which focus on ecology, systems thinking, and how our environments shape our experiences.
​​​
Over time, this training braided with:
​
-
creative practice
-
storytelling and visual work
-
seasonal and ritual studies
-
dream teacher training
-
long-term flower essence development
​
The result is a way of working that treats each person as a living landscape – with seasons, weather, and rhythms of change.
​​
Why Flower Essences?
Flower essences offer support that is:​
​
-
gentle rather than forceful
-
subtle rather than stimulating
-
responsive rather than directive
​​
They meet people where they are, without asking them to become someone else.​
This makes them especially supportive for sensitive, creative, and intuitive people navigating real life – transitions, overwhelm, grief, growth, or periods of reorientation.

Land Acknowledgement
The flower essences at The Manifestory are made from plants – native, introduced, and invasive – growing on the traditional lands of the Wendake-Nionwentsïo (Huron-Wendat), Mississauga (Anishnaabeg), and Haudenosaunee (Kanien’kehá:ka) peoples, along the northeast shore of so-called Lake Ontario and the banks of the so-called St. Lawrence and Ottawa Rivers.
​​
This work is created with awareness of the histories carried by this land, and with respect for the relationships that long predate my, and my ancestors', presence here.
