Meet Kelsie!
About Kelsie Walda
Throughout her childhood, Kelsie was constantly doodling spirals and flowers on the edges of her notes in school. This obsession evolved from the margins of her notebook into her lived expression as an adult when she discovered the subtle yet impactful medicine of flower essences. As an ambassador of flower essences, she connects people with the most resonant remedies for the current chapter in their life. She supports clients in embodying their values, building resilience, and forming deeper connections with others and Self.
Being Autistic and ADHD herself, she is especially suited to work with neurodivergent and highly sensitive folks. She also understands the unique challenges and frustrations of living with chronic illness and pain. The wisdom and power of flower essences are indispensable in supporting these aspects of her life. In addition to communing with nature, she loves to read and write. She can also be found grooving on a dancefloor in Chicago or behind the decks as DJ Chia Pudding.
How did you find flower essences?
“I've always known that I was more sensitive than the average person. Growing up, I always saw my hypersensitivity as a defect. By my teenage and early adult years I accumulated many unhealthy behaviors and habits to cope with the consequences of having a delicate nervous system in a loud world. I didn’t feel comfortable being myself much of the time. But as I grew older, I began to understand that it could be a strength and started learning how to support myself and unmask.
Doing yoga, meditating, and reconnecting with dance allowed me to become more embodied and present which led me to start noticing subtle vibrational energies, especially in plants. This awakening coincided with me moving away from my rural birthplace to a large city—something I had always wanted to do but which felt bittersweet given my new perceptive abilities. I was lucky to be introduced to flower essences not long after my move. I was unsure but open to them. Soon thereafter, I was transformed into a true believer given the powerful effect they had on me. Flower essences are supportive in helping me to expand my capacity and become more of mySelf.”
What flower essence has impacted you the most?
Golden Yarrow was the first flower essence I took. It can be helpful for those who are oversensitive and have trouble sharing their creativity openly. I had always felt really shy discussing my creative work up until then. I was skeptical when I started taking it and after a week had almost forgot that I was taking it. But I suddenly found myself at a party talking about my poetry to someone naturally. It didn’t feel forced by any stretch. Flower essences became an obsession after that!
