Findhorn Flower & Tree Essences – ONLINE
Part 1 Course – Please add this Education product (£300) to your basket for the Part 1 online course in the Findhorn Flower & Tree Essences. This is the perfect starter course to get to know Iona and the history of the essences she grew up making with her mother, our founder Marion Leigh. You will receive a Part 1 certificate on completion of this course and the course work in your own time involves keeping a journal of note-taking with personal reflections, as well some work sheets, which Iona guides you through. (NB: You will also need to purchase the Flower Kit & Tree Kit to partake in this course).
Vibrational Healing & Nature Intelligence – ONLINE
Part 2 Course – Please add this 2 x Education products (£600) to your basket for the Part 2 online course in the Vibrational Healing & Nature Intelligence. This is the perfect starter course to expand your knowledge in nature connection for essence making methods, other essence makers and their ranges, therapy practice techniques, leading to practitioner practice. You will receive a Part 2 certificate on completion of this course and the course work in your own time involves keeping a journal of note-taking with personal reflections, as well some work sheets, which Iona guides you through. (NB: You will also need to purchase the Handbook & Cards to partake in this course).
PORTFOLIO SELF STUDY – free with online support
NB: In order to progress to Practitioner Level, you need to complete and pass both the online 1 and 2 courses. You will then have time to gather your own peer and case studies with fellow students and practice volunteer clients in your own time. Once you have gathered three peer cases and completed twelve volunteer consultations, you will submit these to Iona for Part 3 entry. In addition, before attending the Part 3 completion course in Scotland, you will begin building your own Portfolio of work which you will share with the Part 3 Course group as part of your Part 3 assessment to qualify as a Practitioner. (NB: You will also need to purchase other essence brands and other essence books of your choice to complete your research).
Essence Therapy & Practitioner Certification – SCOTLAND
Part 3 Course – Please add this 3 x Education products (£900) to your basket for the Part 3 course in the Essence Therapy Practitioner Certification that takes place here in Scotland. Yes! We will visit sacred sites, holy wells and power points where Iona and her mother have been attuning and working in operation with nature over the last 35 years. You will have volunteer clients and be observed working therapeutically with essence prescribing and making up bespoke blends of your own. The completion includes sharing portfolio work and making a group essence together! (NB: You will also need to travel to Scotland and pay for your own accommodation and food for the 5 day course).
COST & Investment: –
All 3 courses come to a total of £1,800 in cost. It is a significant commitment for you financially as a student (and for Iona as your Tutor over three years of study support), but results in an accredited Diploma through the BFVEAm with the certification needed to apply for insurance to work as a fully qualified Essence Practitioner. If you are 100% certain you want to complete the Diploma route, you can contact Iona by email here to pay in full for the whole diploma, for a saving of £300. Please note that this option is non-refundable as course materials will be offered all together. Feel free to contact Iona by email here.
Tricia Capello (verified owner) –
Working with Iona is a truly spiritual and profound experience. A gift and bright light, she teaches and shares purely from the heart, with a potent understanding of the multidimensional and physical signatures within the natural world. Her connection to the flowers, their frequencies, the land, and her lineage carries something sacred—like a portal into the living intelligence held within these essences.
While Course One introduces the essences at a higher level, each student can easily attune to the deeper messages gifted through the power of their transmissions.
In Level Two, it is as though the field opens even further, revealing a more intimate connection to the roots of the essences’ creation and nature’s ever-evolving signature upon them.
I have personally come to find that Findhorn essences call to their stewards to carry forward something that is of the highest service. It is a living, breathing relationship—a journey that teaches and nourishes the student as much as it prepares them to serve others.
