Some people choose homeopathy as their main form of healthcare, many prefer a
more integrated approach while others come for treatment as a ‘last resort’.
Whatever your reason, by choosing homeopathy, you are choosing to take
responsibility for your health and well being. My role is to apply homeopathic
principles and support your choice to live life to its fullest on all levels of
your being. The homeopathic approach involves a two way process of giving and receiving
between you as the patient and me as the practitioner. I work together with
individuals and families to develop and nurture a relationship based on trust
and confidence. I find that the process of making illness better (healing)
requires this safe space.
What is homeopathy?
The principles and practice of homeopathy were first developed over 200 years ago by a German doctor, Samuel Hahnemann. A summary of the key principles and philosophy are:
- Like should be treated with like – a very simple example of this would be using coffee - which in it’s crude state can cause palpitations, irritability and sleeplessness. But when used in its homeopathic form, coffea, it can be effective to manage those symptoms.
- A single remedy should be prescribed.
- The minimum dose is prescribed to support the body’s own healing mechanisms. Homeopathic remedies are prepared by a series of dilutions and successions which makes them safe, yet potent enough to stimulate an energetic healing response.

What can be treated using homeopathic remedies?
Homeopathy treats the individual and not just the symptoms. By considering the cause of symptoms and working from that point to readdress vitality and balance, the natural process of self-healing and resolution begins to take place. Often this process starts during the consultation but is aided by the homeopathic remedy which is prescribed on the homeopathic principle of treating ‘like with like’.

Mental health and homeopathy. Increasingly, I am working with people struggling with anxiety and depression, self-harm, post-traumatic stress, addictions and eating disorders.
If deep pathology has set in, usually it cannot be reversed – by either allopathic or homeopathic treatments. Homeopathy still offers valuable support. I have used homeopathy for palliative care in terminally ill cancer patients where the effect of the remedies was to
alleviate anxiety, frustration and fear - to bring about a sense of inner peace, rest and letting go.
From pre-conception to old age - no one is too young or too old to use homeopathy.
