Flower
Essence Pharmacy™/FlowerEssences.Com™
The Flower Essence
Pharmacy™
was founded in 1994 by Gary Mason who operated it as a mail-order
company based in California. In 1997, Centergees, Inc., of Portland,
Oregon, acquired the Flower Essence Pharmacy and moved it to Portland. Centergees,
which opened for business in 1993, was a New Age retail store in
Portland owned by Cathy and Richard Kinnaird. At the
time of the merger, Centergees had the largest selection of essences of any storefront in
the USA, and the Flower Essence Pharmacy™ had the
largest selection of essences available in the world.
To make room for the Flower Essence
Pharmacy™, Centergees turned its large meeting room into
a mail-order headquarters. For about a year and a half, both Centergees and the Flower Essence Pharmacy grew
and prospered in the Portland retail building. Soon, however, both businesses grew
to be too large for the building in which they were both housed. So, in early 1999,
Cathy Kinnaird moved the Flower Essence Pharmacy™ out of the building to
Sandy, Oregon.
In September 1999,
Cathy decided to
concentrate exclusively on the international mail-order business, distributing flower
essences and other vibrational healing tools. Cathy and Richard closed Centergees,
their retail store, and moved everything out to Sandy.
Cathy Kinnaird is a flower essence practitioner, Reiki master,
former intensive care nurse, and developer of the Source-Nature-Soul line of vibrational
essences. She was the guiding force behind the Flower Essence
Pharmacy™
for three years. Her
husband, Richard, an entrepreneur and former engineer, designed this website.

Pharmacy was acquired by Universe, Inc., a leading distributor of
flower essences in Japan. Under the leadership of Masa
Ogawa, the Flower Essence Pharmacy™, combined with Universe, Inc.,
