“Another mid-August event was held at the Frette Linen Boutique when Alicia Sirkin gave a talk on ‘Discovering Emotional Harmony and Balance with Bach Flower Remedies.’ Health-conscious refreshments were served and all participants received a folder fo educational handouts. Door prizes were given to Marla Degraeve, Dawn Miller and Joanie Lebach.”

Reprinted from The Westchester WAG Magazine Issue: September 2006:

Author and freelance writer Seema Boesky attended my presentation “Discover Emotional Harmony and Balance with Bach Flower Remedies” at Frette Linen Boutique in Aspen Colorado on August 17, 2006. She writes about her experience in her column for The Westchester WAG Magazine, September 2006:

"“I accompanied a close friend to a lecture on Bach Flower Remedies, a homeopathic treatment for anxiety, depression, and a myriad of other ailments I didn't have or want. I wondered why everyone raised their hand when asked how many were familiar with the product.

After four people told of life-altering experiences using Bach Flower, I was convinced—not that the stuff works, but that I was being duped, set up for a big hit! To make my friend happy, I left with two small bottles of their least costly remedy.”

“Sitting on my counter that evening, next to my Excedrin PM, I spied the vials of Bach Flower sleep remedy. For fun, I sprayed my tongue twice as directed and went to bed. I woke after an uninterrupted dreamy night's sleep feeling content and refreshed. The Bach Flower remedy worked perfectly. I'm forever Excedrin free!”"

In the 2003 March/April Issue of Massage Magazine, Editor Karen Menehan's fabulous feature article on flower essences included Alicia Sirkin:

Regarding flower essences:

'Flower-essence practitioner Alicia Sirkin, of Miami, Florida, offers this analogy: 'We believe that flower essences carry the energetic blueprint, or life-force energy, from the flower from which it's prepared. If you think of your car battery, it carries an electrical charge in the water that helps the car go. In much the same way, the flower-essence liquid holds energy that restores energy to our emotions when we've lost it through sadness, through anger, through impatience.''

Regrarding private flower essence consultations with Alicia's clients:

'Sirkin says that during a consultation she asks the client to go inside to see where she feels stuck or negative. 'We have an intuitive part inside of us that just knows what's wrong,' Sirkin explains. 'What I do is I just pick out my clients' own words that happen to be the keywords for those essences that will rebalance the emotional state.' 'It's about self-empowerment,' she continues. 'I'm empowering my client with the education they need to self-prescribe the essences they need.''

Alicia Sirkin, BFRP, has been recently quoted as an expert on Bach Flower Essences in 'Fitness,' 'Spa,' 'Vegetarian Times,' 'Massage,' and 'Alternative Medicine' magazines.

She has been interviewed and consulted for background material by 'Glamour' and Oprah Winfrey's 'O' magazines as well as numerous international publications.
