Flower Essence Therapy, Level I
This level is a comprehensive study of the history of a non-invasive approach to healing emotional trauma known as the 38 Bach Flowers System.

This level is an in-depth study of The Twelve Healers, which is comprised of the flowers Dr. Edward Bach first identified in his 38 Bach Flower System.

Flower Essence Therapy, Level III
This level is a review of case studies. The integration of flower essences with other healing practices will be discussed.

Flower Essence Therapy, Level IV
This level emphasizes the building of flower therapy blends for specific emotional disturbances, with an emphasis on guilt, grief and loss.
