Privacy	Your privacy is important to me. The information I collect on this site is used only for the purposes of preparing and shipping your remedies and for consultation advice. Your personal information is never shared with third parties. Additionally I use PayPal for your security and protection. I never have access to your financial information. Your trust is essential to the healer/patient relationship and I hold your right to privacy inviolable. If you have any questions or concerns about how I store or use your information, please contact me.
Satisfaction	Because I fully believe in the efficacy of flower essences I offer a simple return policy. If you have tried the essence remedy as directed, and are unsatisfied for any reason, simply return the unused portion and I will refund your money.
Code of Practice & Ethics (Promoted by The Cascadian Association for the Study of Essences)	As a flower essence practitioner and restorative counselor, I am committed to supporting my clients in a respectful manner that honors their individual needs, privacy and free will. I strive to treat my clients as I would wish to be treated, and it is from this simple consideration that I subscribe to the following ethical guidelines. Flower essence practice is an adjunctive form of health care, aimed at supporting balance and harmony in the soul-spiritual life of my clients. The feelings, thoughts, and attitudes expressed by clients are the basis of recommending appropriate essences. I listen with respect to my clients' needs and do not recommend essences that treat issues we have not discussed. I treat only the individual who seeks my services and never treat someone without their express conscious permission. To treat someone without their conscious knowledge is intrusive and violates the rights of the individual. The only exception to this is in the treatment of children, whom I can treat with parental permission. I respect that flower essence therapy can be an important adjunct to healing, but recognize that it does not replace appropriate medical or psychological treatment. I recognize that training as a flower essence practitioner does not qualify me to make medical or psychiatric diagnoses, unless I possess other training, degrees, or qualifications. I recognize an ethical duty to refer clients to qualified practitioners when their needs are beyond the scope of my training and ability. I provide accurate information regarding my education, training, and experience, and refrain from claiming directly or implying professional qualifications exceeding those I have obtained. I do not make unrealistic claims or promises or create inappropriate expectations about the results of using flower essences. I respect the integrity of other forms of health care and make efforts to build bridges and develop collaborative relationships to achieve the best possible care for individual clients. I remain available to my clients following treatment should they have questions or concerns. However, I do not engage in any mode of practice that promotes dependency or exploitation of clients. I respect every client's right to privacy and confidentiality. Information revealed within a flower essence assessment may not be shared without my client's express permission. Any chart notes remain strictly confidential unless expressly released by the client for purposes of submission to the Flower Essence Society for support of research or as a testimonial / case study to be shared as examples within my work. I agree to conduct a practice that is non-discriminatory. I recognize my work to be that of a guide and educator, empowering my clients to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to support their own well-being. In doing so, I inform my clients about the scope and benefits of flower essence practice and its unique contribution to well-being, with appropriate verbal and written information, including information about common responses to the use of flower essences. I strive to set fees that are reasonable, ethical, and within reach of the general public and to make provisions for flexibility in fees for low-income clients. I regularly evaluate my strengths and limitations, biases, and levels of effectiveness, striving for self-improvement and seeking professional development through further education and training. I make the commitment to raising the overall standards of flower essence practice by maintaining the highest level of integrity in my own conduct as a flower essence practitioner and educator.
