Welcome
Homeopathy is a gentle, effective form of healing suitable for children and adults of all ages. This holistic approach to medicine works by treating the individual as a whole, by taking into consideration the person's individual physical and emotional wellbeing. The remedies are safe, non addictive and have no unpleasant side effects.
By creating a map of the patient individual's symptoms, the homeopath will choose a remedy best suited to reflect that individual's totality of symptoms. This gives the body's energy 'a push' in the direction of self healing. Homeopathic treatment is always aimed at working with the body, rather than to palliate or suppress a symptom.
“The natural force within each of us is that greatest healer of all.” Hippocrates, Greek physician.
Today homeopathy is recognised by the World Health Organisation as the second largest therapeutic health system in use in the world.
The principle of dilutions (or "law of minimum dose") states that the lower the dose of the medication, the greater its effectiveness. In homeopathy, substances are diluted in a stepwise fashion and shaken vigorously between each dilution. This process, referred to as "potentization," is believed to transmit some form of information or energy from the original substance to the final diluted remedy.
Homeopathy comes from the Greek words homeo, meaning similar, and pathos, meaning suffering or disease. Homeopathy seeks to stimulate the body's ability to heal itself by giving very small doses of highly diluted substances. This therapeutic method was developed by German physician Samuel Christian Hahnemann at the end of the 18th century. Hahnemann articulated two main principles:
The principle of similars (or "like cures like") states that a disease can be cured by a substance that produces similar symptoms in healthy people. This idea, which can be traced back to Hippocrates, was further developed by Hahnemann after he repeatedly ingested cinchona bark, a popular treatment for malaria, and found that he developed the symptoms of the disease. Hahnemann theorized that if a substance could cause disease symptoms in a healthy person, small amounts could cure a sick person who had similar symtoms
Homeopathic remedies are mainly derived from natural substances that come from the plant, mineral, or animal kingdoms.

The first appointment
A full case history will be taken followed by remedy prescription. During the first session I will get to know you and build up a picture as a whole. Some of the areas that will be explored will be as follows:
I have always been interested in alternative health, but particularly in homeopathy, when after visiting a homeopath my asthma was successfully treated. I also found that the treatment greatly improved my general well being.
In 2009 I successfully qualified as a homoeopath from The School of Homeopathy, where I studied classical homeopathy. I am also a registered member of the Society of homeopaths, and am committed to continued professional development in accordance with guidelines set out by the Society. This includes meeting in a homeopathic supervision group once a month as well as attending seminars throughout the year.
As well as homeopathy I currently work for the NHS as a nursing assistant. This gives me a conventional perspective of health care as well as experience with people who have severe disabilities and long term health conditions.
I have a particular interest and training in mental health issues, some of which I gained from volunteering for the charity Womankind., who offer support and befriending for vulnerable women.
On a personal level I enjoy reading, the cinema and yoga. I also love to travel.
