Product: Lotus Wei Flower Elixirs.

Background: I’ve worked with clients in private flower essence therapy for the last 12 years. At a certain point I realized that due to the flower essences, every client I had was experiencing major life transformations. I started to feel a strong sense of urgency to create a way to reach more people. So I combined what I felt was the most needed flower essences into elixirs, mists, and serums so that everyone could experience its benefits.

What was your vision when you launched your company? Think about how you feel when you’re walking in a field of flowers...and imagine you could bottle up that feeling, so that people everywhere could experience it. That’s what we do, and the result is a huge, worldwide ripple effect of goodness and positivity.

What inspired you to create this product? City life can be overstimulating, so this combination of products is designed to help you ‘fleurish’ in urban environments. Quiet Mind was designed to help us relax and sleep better (statistics now show that 1 in 3 people has sleep troubles). Infinite Love was born out of a desire to awaken more love and gentleness, especially toward ourselves—and as a sidenote, some people have dubbed it a "love potion." Joy Juice was designed to help us experience more of our own natural joy that arises from within, no matter where we are or what we’re doing. 

How would you describe your aesthetic? True beauty is happiness, love, peacefulness. Flowers and color instantly uplift our mood, and when we experience the ‘chi’ from flowers, we experience authentic alchemy or inner transformation.

What makes this product different?  You might already have a scented mist or facial serum, but maybe not one that's really working for you, on every level, not just physical. Our products are infused with active flower essences, they immediately enhance your state of mind and life, with both short-term and long-term benefits. Lotus Wei focuses on what’s right with you and how to magnify that. Its not just for occasional stress relief—they're for everyday use, because they make sure we are operating at our best all the time.
