Elm Essences

The Elm Essences line includes 36 essences made from deciduous and evergreen trees growing in a variety of habitats in New England. 

​All tree essences have a profoundly stabilizing effect on the human energy system and can help us feel more secure and grounded in our lives. They fortify chakra 1 and provide a foundation for our resiliency and adaptability. Tree essences also offer the equal and opposite gesture of the trees themselves — into the heavens — and support our outward expansion, growth, and evolution.
