Our story begins in the foothills of the Himalayas, and as many stories often begin, something in one’s life triggers a need to take a different path…
...like the one in Robert Frost’s poem ‘The Road Not Taken’.
“…I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
Rachel was born in India and spent her childhood living 7000 ft up in the foothills of the Himalayas at an international boarding school. Those early years had a significant impact on her life. Her classmates came from many different countries, backgrounds and religions.
Bram Zaalberg, the creator of the Bloesem Remedies Netherland, is an extremely intuitive and sensitive flower essence practitioner, teacher, producer and distributor. An holistic practitioner himself, Bram began working with flower essences in his practice in 1978. Using essences touched him in such a way that it became a passion; a ‘call from the soul’. Bram writes about essences,
“As soon as we start on working with flower essences, we are starting to change ourselves; this results in a change of the outer world. Changing yourself is changing the world, is changing our children, is changing our relationships, is changing our government, is changing nature.”
