A Heartfelt Testimonial of Gratitude

I lost my mum in August 2025, after having cared for her and lived with her for three years. We were incredibly close, and her passing has left me heartbroken. I have been struggling with my grief, some days so overwhelmed that I’ve found it nearly impossible to function, let alone work.

One day, after two days of relentless crying, I found myself unable to do anything at all. I knew I needed more help than what traditional counselling could offer. Having used homeopathic remedies in the past, I turned to that path for healing, though I honestly didn’t think I’d find anything close to me in Warkworth.

Then I discovered Arcadia Natural Health, and I am so incredibly grateful I did. I found Chris and her team, who offer Bach Flower remedies, even making them on-site. It felt like exactly what I needed.

When I walked into the shop, tears still streaming down my face, I explained my situation to Chris. I was desperate for relief from the overwhelming grief that had consumed me. With a calm and compassionate demeanor, Chris listened attentively, and with great understanding, she recommended a Bach Flower Essence for my acute grief, along with Ignatia to address the deeper layers of sadness. She didn’t pressure me to choose both, but I felt drawn to both remedies and accepted them.

What truly amazed me about the Bach Essences is that they allow you to intuitively select the flowers that resonate with your specific healing needs. It felt so empowering to be a part of my own healing journey.

The relief I felt after taking Ignatia was almost immediate. Just hours before, I had cancelled  work because I didn’t believe I could possibly function. But by the time I left Arcadia, drove home, and sat in my car, something inside me shifted. I suddenly felt I could return to work—and so I did, and I had a surprisingly productive day.

Chris, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness, compassion, and your deep understanding of how to alleviate my emotional pain. To think that only a few hours earlier I had been a crumpled mess at your counter, and now I felt like a new woman. Though I still carry my grief, it no longer dominates my life. I still feel sadness, but it is now something I can manage.

If you’ve ever wondered about the healing power of Bach Essences, I am living proof of their gentle but profoundly effective nature. Not only do they work wonders for humans, but they also have remarkable healing benefits for animals. They are 100% natural and have no side effects—except for helping you feel better.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Chris, and thank you to Arcadia Natural Health. You’ve truly helped me begin to heal.

Warmest regards F.
