Patty Liu is a Clinical Herbalist, Trauma Care Practitioner, and Reiki Master dedicated to helping women reconnect with their hearts and bodies through the healing powers of plants and self-love rituals.
As someone who’s navigated burnout, anxiety, and the physical manifestations of stress on her own skin, Patty understands that true healing and beauty begin from within. Her work blends modern science, ancient wisdom, and trauma-informed care — guiding women toward balance and vitality through skincare, coaching, and holistic education.
After years in the corporate world and academia, Patty found herself physically depleted and spiritually disconnected. Growing up in an environment shaped by intergenerational trauma, she spent much of her life chasing perfection while neglecting her own needs.
Her turning point came when she began studying herbal medicine and energy work, discovering how plants and rituals could restore harmony to one’s skin and soul. On that journey, Free Flow Botanicals was born — an expression of Patty’s passion for helping others transform daily routines into self-love rituals.
Today, Patty creates high-vibrational, plant-based skincare products inspired by traditional Asian beauty rituals – 100% free of harmful chemicals, parabens, sulfates, or synthetic ingredients. Infused with Reiki healing energy, Patty’s products invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with your heart & body.
When she’s not blending botanicals, Patty teaches holistic health classes, offers trauma informed coaching, and facilitates wellness experiences that integrate herbalism, nervous system regulation, and self-care practices.
Free Flow Botanicals products are currently available for purchase online and at select retail shops around the world.
