About Emily Escobedo
Emily Escobedo is certified as a Reiki I & II and tuning fork healing as well as a flower essences practitioner and intuitive. As a retired Veteran, she is called to work with Veterans, First Responders and others — regardless of how they identify —who have felt diminished in environments where toxic masculinity was encouraged and celebrated. Emily’s training at the Spirit Seed school and as a plant medicine advocate has awakened the ancestral wisdom from flowers, herbs and food as medicine by working with the spiritual aspects of plants. By creating a safe container and holding sacred space, she helps clients to find their connection back to their emotional, intuitive, and nurturing capacities.
What brought you to flower essence therapy and the healing arts?
I retired from active-duty service 10 years ago, unknowingly it ignited my need for healing from the toxic behavior that I was exposed to knowingly and in some cases willingly. Through seeking holistic modalities to deal with depression, anxiety and the feeling of malaise I have been supported through this journey with flower essences, that have reminded me of what the flowers have been trying to communicate with me my whole life.
I am excited to work with women who are veterans or are still serving in the military. My goal is to provide them with an additional resource to navigate the day-to-day challenges and feel supported in their healing journey by these amazing flower essences.
A few books continue to inspire my current practice: Cleansing rites of Curanderismo- Limpias Espirituales of Ancient Mesoamerican Shamans by Erika Buenaflor, The Healers by Ayi Kwei Armah , The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the New World by Robin Wall Kimmerer, and Decolonizing Therapy by Jennifer Mullan
What flower essence has impacted you the most?
Star Tulip is probably one of my favorite flower essences and I am pretty sure she is my Godmother plant ally. She was the first flower essence that took my hand, sat me down, let me know everything was going to be ok, and we were going to embark on a journey. She has shown up for me in various formulations and has guided me through spiritual practices. She is always reminding me to tune in and listen to the Divine, my Ancestors and Spirit Guides as they are constantly communicating with me.
