PLANT MEDICINE | Teresa Goodin

Working with Nature for
Healing, Empowerment & Evolution

I've always felt a deep affinity with plants and I have been fascinated with their medicinal and magical power for many years.

I have been working with plants for all of my adult life. In my early twenties I had a passion for collecting herbal medicine books, growing medicinal plants and started making my own botanical incense.

When I became a mother at the age of 30 I turned my passion for natural healing and plant medicine into a vocation and studied Naturopathy and New Zealand Native Flower Essence Therapy. In the past few years I have added Homeobotanicals to my dispensary.

Much of my knowledge and experience with plant medicine has come from training with First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand and the Medicine Woman Centre for Shamanic and Esoteric Studies. I have been studying with both institutions since 2012.

I specialise in New Zealand Flower Essence Therapy and also offer Homeobotanicals and custom botanical incense blends. My dispensary is based at LUMEN in Taranaki where I see clients for private consultations. I offer online consultations world-wide.

Realising your Potential

with Sacred Plant Medicine

New Zealand Native Flower Essence Therapy is my speciality and I have been working with First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand since 2012. I was introduced to First Light essences while I was studying Naturopathy in 2009, I fell in love with flower essence therapy and was called to specialise in this healing modality and work with the native plants of this land.

First Light essences bring together many of my passions and interests including Plant Medicine, Metaphysics, Astrology, Psychology and Shamanic Healing. First Light essences provide total holistic support for all aspects of life, including the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual dimensions of life. They represent the most complete and comprehensive integrated range of flower essences in the world.

The First Light Essences have been created by Medicine Woman and Master Shaman Franchelle Ofsoskyé-Wyber in accordance with ancient spiritual protocols, these sacred protocols ensure the full cooperation with the spiritual forces of the land and the plant devas. plant has released its full healing potential into the flower essences. The unique qualities and vitality of the native plants of Aotearoa New Zealand also add to the profound healing power and efficacy of the First Light essences.

The First Light essences are native botanical remedies that naturally restore balance and harmony in our lives. Flower essences contain the prefect energetic blueprint of a plant, which when ingested influences emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing by gently healing disharmonious patterns in the energetic network within and surrounding the body.

Flower Essences are ideal for addressing stress, anxiety, depression, fear, trauma and a wide range of psychological challenges in a holistic and natural way. They can also be used to promote positive inner resources such as confidence, creativity, motivation, focus and inner strength.

Flower essences are an ancient form of energy medicine used to promote holistic wellbeing and facilitate the expansion of consciousness. Flower essences are powerful allies for anyone who aspires to deepen self-awareness, transform limiting patterns and realise their potential. In conjuction with Astrology flower essences can help us come into alignment with our life purpose and destiny.

Flower essences have no contraindications with medicines and are safe for children, babies and animals. I often combine flower essences and Homeobotanicals together in a remedy, I have found that they compliment each other very well. I offer private Plant Medicine Consultations, Plant Medicine Card Readings, Esoteric Astrology Consultations and Free Over-the-Counter Consultations at LUMEN. You can purchase flower essence remedies online without a consultation.

Healing with the Synergy

of Herbs & Homeopathy

I was introduced to Homeobotanicals as a new mother in 2008 and I have been using them ever since. They were one of my go to natural therapies when raising my son, as they were affordable, effective and easy to take.

Homeobotanicals are made from diluted herbal tinctures blended with glycerin which makes them quite palatable and perfect for children (and fussy adults too!) The glycerin also has a therapeutic effect as it enables the cells to absorb the herbal medicine more rapidly and effectively.

Homeobotanical remedies are diluted and potentised herbal extracts. Homeobotanical therapy is essentially a hybrid of homeopathic and herbal medicine. They are subtle and gentle in their action, primarily dependant upon stimulating the body’s own healing mechanisms.

Developed in New Zealand by Dr Brian Murray who recognised the financial constraints of his clients who were often unable to afford expensive herbal tinctures, he developed the Homeobotanical system as a more accessible solution. In some countries Homeobotanical therapy has been known as Dynamic Phytotherapy.

Homeobotanicals offer a comprehensive range of 60+ formulas for a wide range of health issues including Immunity, Pain, Allergies, Skin, Digestion, Sleep, Stress and Energy. As well as developing formulas featuring traditional western herbs, Dr Murray was guided by Maori elders to develop a range of Rongoa remedies featuring native plants.

A Homoebotanical remedy can contain up to 5 formulas from this comprehensive range, providing a cost effective solution to multiple ailments. I often combine flower essences and Homeobotanicals together in a remedy, I found that they compliment each other very well.

I offer private Plant Medicine Consultations and free Over-the-Counter Consults at LUMEN. Homeobotanical remedies are dispensed by consultation only.

Sacred Botanicals

for Body, Mind & Spirit

For over twenty-five years I have been creating handmade botanical incense. I create my unique incense blends by intuitively hand-blending plant based ingredients in a large stone mortar and pestle.

I offer custom incense blends for a variety of purposes such as purification, cleansing, protection, healing, meditation, grounding and for special occasions and ceremonies. I create my custom blends from exotic and rare tree resins, barks, herbs and flowers that I source from around the world.

I offer Incense Making Workshops for small intimate groups at LUMEN Gallery and at private venues by request. During this 3 hour workshop I introduce over 30 incense ingredients from which each participant gets to make their own unique incense blend from. Each participant receives a copy of my Incense Botanical Compendium to take home.

My compendium contains information about the cultural, spiritual and therapeutic uses of over 30 plants used in incense from around the world. At LUMEN Gallery I sell my Compendium and a range of incense ingredients including smudge sticks, resins, herbs and handmade natural botanical incense sticks from Nepal and Mexico.
