The other day someone asked me what made me become a homeopath. I had to think very hard! I could easily talk about my first encounter with homeopathy, but what had made me take the next step? OK, it wasn’t a step it was a giant leap! What had made me give up my university career to retrain as a homeopath? I think it was my London homeopath who encouraged all her clients to buy a homeopathic first aid kit. She did this so, when we rang her between appointments for help with

When someone embarks on their homeopathic healing journey one thing’s certain: life will never seem the same again! Homeopathy is a great tool for gently releasing the past and its efficacies can be enhanced by selective use of other approaches and techniques. Personally I find myself drawn to other things at times when these will perfectly complement the issues which have surfaced for homeopathic release. In this blog I talk about an approach I was drawn to, a daily ritual

I’ve just spent a couple of weeks in Georgia, up in the Caucasus mountains in south eastern Europe, learning more about Georgian singing. They approach their traditional singing as a means of connecting with their fellow singers rather than as something to perform to an audience, so the whole approach is different.

Visiting a homeopath for the first time for a 121 consultation must feel a bit like a walk in the dark: how do you know what to expect? I’m going to outline some of the things I do and explain why I do it that way. I’m sure other homeopaths will have their own slightly different way of doing things. And, before you read any further, if you’re seriously worried about a condition, you want tests, you’d like pharmaceutical drugs for your symptoms, or you’d like a diagnosis then

When I offered a free webinar for anyone interested to find out more about homeopathy I didn’t anticipate being the one doing the learning! Here’s what happened. I was zoom bombed! Who even knew there was such a thing! I’d set it up as a public event on Eventbrite: I WANTED it to be found and accessible to everyone. And people I didn’t know signed up! I was very excited to have found a way of being of service to people. All was going well: I was in my flow…. Then something

Our world is full of patterns: For as long as humans have lived on Earth they’ve been noticing patterns: looking at where and when the sun rises; how the length of the day changes; what happens when day turns into night; what the best conditions are for growing seeds; what the best conditions are for keeping livestock, etc etc. colds start with clear mucus then it thickens and turns yellow; if you eat food which has gone ‘off’ you’re very likely to have stomach pain, vomiting

Would you like to use natural first aid remedies but you don’t know what to buy? Have you picked up the Arnica cream in the supermarket but then wondered what’s the best way of using it? When my children were young, that was me too! I wanted to use homeopathy to support them with their everyday acute conditions – teething, colds, coughs, tummy bugs, bumps and bruises, ear aches etc. I was lucky back then: I wasn’t a homeopath but I could go into any pharmacy on the high s

A look at some of the reasons which have led people to seeking homeopathic treatment for the first time.An exploration of what makes people choose homeopathic treatmentI was very lucky: my first encounter with homeopathy was through my GP who suggested it as an alternative to antibiotics for the recurrent chronic sinusitis from which I was suffering. It was handed to me on a plate, no internet searching for alternatives, a simple choice for me to make at my time of need. Most

You’re not alone! Homeopathy works for millions of people around the world, but it’s very difficult to explain how it works, and no-one’s absolutely sure, which doesn’t help.
