After hitting rock bottom a decade ago, Patty declared that she'd had enough of feeling sick and tired all the time, and made the commitment to begin her healing journey. Through profound experiences with medicinal + entheogenic herbs, Reiki, and self-care practices, she learned to connect to her heart and love herself unconditionally. And that gave her the courage to leave her corporate job and take a huge leap of faith by starting her journey to becoming a Clinical Herbalist and starting Free Flow Botanicals.
Patty's skincare products are handcrafted in California and made in small batches with organic & natural plant ingredients inspired by traditional Asian beauty rituals and healing practices. No harmful chemicals, parabens, sulfates, or synthetic ingredients of any kind are used. Infused with Reiki healing energy, these plant-based products offer small, meaningful moments of grounding & relaxation as you connect with your skin & body.
Free Flow Botanicals products are currently available for purchase online and at select retail shops around the world.
