About

We live in an era of unbelievable stress, disruption + static.

Most of us are multi-tasking, jamming our schedules, and spending 9+ years of our lives parked in front of the TV. Over a third of us have trouble sleeping, every single night. Even worse, Wifi signals + cell phone towers are sending unprecedented levels of electro-magnetic activity coursing through our bodies, every minute. We can't see it. But it's there — and it's making us sick, sad, and exhausted.

At LOTUSWEI, we’re here to invite thousands — and eventually millions + billions — of people to take action, by working with flower elixirs. We want to make flower elixirs as widely understood + accepted as yoga, tai chi and meditation — with a flower elixir cabinet in every home and in every office.

Join us — and join a new kind of flower-power movement.

 

Have you ever felt like your life was meant to be bigger - and you were meant to be somewhere else?

Welcome to my life, at age 7.

I’m Katie Hess, creator of Lotuswei. And it’s true: as early as second grade, I felt like, My people are somewhere, I’m meant to be working on a big project, and here I am, stuck in this teeny-tiny body and this nowhere town on Lake Michigan. I’d seen a movie about astral projection, so every night, I tried astral-projecting myself somewhere else so that I could do the vague “big thing” I needed to do.

Well, I never mastered astral projection. But I’ve spent my career creating ways to transport people to bigger places and reconnect them to their greatest expressions of themselves.

 

 

You’ve probably heard that it takes 10,000 hours to master something. So you’ll be glad to know that I logged 20 thousand hours of working with elixirs and private clients before I ever launched a product.

76 thousand people wasn’t enough.

The reason I created Lotuswei, and decided to sell elixirs and experiences on a large scale, boils down to a number: 76 thousand. That’s how many people I calculated I could feasibly help one-to-one before I die (and that’s without vacations). Not enough. The transformations I saw in my clients just a month into using flower elixirs were so mind-blowing -- their faces changed, their body language changed, their outlook on life and even their life stories changed -- that I thought, “everyone in the world needs to know about this.”

 

I found that working with flower elixirs could squish six months of personal growth into one.

In the short term, you start to experience less irritation. Everything’s smoother. The stress dissolves. You sleep more soundly. Any strong emotions get softer and lesser.

Long term: your inner landscape changes, and your outer landscape starts to reflect that new reality back to you. You may get out of relationships that don’t work, form new ones that do, start new career paths, do things you used to be afraid of, and walk with a little more swagger. I see you, babe.

In short, these elixirs accelerate the process of getting you from who you are to who you want to be.

Even shorter? They work.

They’re one thing you can add to your routine without wondering “where will I get the time?” You put a couple of drops in your mouth -- they taste like honey, by the way -- and you’re done.

 

Sometimes the best flowers come from places where there are no people, like parts of British Columbia, Iceland, Costa Rica, and the plains in the middle of the US. Or, sacred places that carry a special energy, like in India where the Buddha sat under a tree. I went there to make an essence of that tree, among hundreds of monks and nuns doing their practice.

In all this travel I’ve done to make the best flower elixirs, I’ve had two thoughts:

“I want to bring people here.”

“I want to bring this back to people.”

Whether or not you can get on a plane, I want to share the magic of exploration. I want to help you visit the natural world, and the world inside yourself. 

 

That’s a given, but it’s something people don’t think about much. The earth is also smart. We live on a planet that’s 4.5 billion years old. That’s a lot of wisdom.

When you look at a flower, the flower isn’t thinking, “Do people like me? Am I too big? Am I taking up too much space? Do I smell awesome enough? Am I as pretty as that other flower over there?” No. The flower is unique and beautiful and wild, and takes up as much space as it needs to.

When you look at nature, you soak up its truth, and understand that you’re exactly what you need to be.
