FAQs

  • What is homeopathy?

    Homeopathy is a system of natural, holistic healthcare. This means that treatment is based on the individual and what is going on for them as a whole person, rather than just looking at one issue in isolation. Homeopathy was started in Germany in the first half of the nineteenth century by the physician, Samuel Hahnemann.

  • How long does treatment take?

    This depends entirely on the individual, their sensitivity, their history, and the nature of the symptoms. However, you should see small changes during the first month, and more significant changes after the first three appointments.

  • Are remedies included in your prices?

    Yes, homeopathic remedies given at consultations are included. There may be a small charge for remedies given to clients without a consultation. If I recommend supplements, you are responsible for getting these yourself, and I offer a practitioner discount where possible.

  • What is health coaching?

    Health Coaching is a growing area in the field of health. A health coach who's studied on an accredited course will be trained in nutrition, fitness, lifestyle issues and coaching.  This means that they will be able to advise in all of these areas, help you build a comprehensive health plan, and launch you on your way to achieving your health goals.

  • What happens in a consultation?

    Consultations are an opportunity to discuss what is going on for you and your health in detail. We discuss any issues that are bothering you. I ask about medical history, your characteristics, nutrition, exercise, and physical and emotional health. We will decide on a treatment plan to bring your health back into balance.

  • What are remedies made from?

    Remedies are made from anything that is found in the world: plants, animals, minerals, gases, etc. The substances are diluted and succussed (shaken) and the resulting liquid is usually added to sugar or sucrose pills to be taken by the client.

  • Is homeopathy safe?

    It is very safe and can be used during pregnancy, by children and the elderly. Because the substances in the remedies are highly diluted there is often little or no material amount remaining. So even things which would be harmful in a large dose, are perfectly safe when made into a homeopathic remedy. It is also safe to use alongside conventional medicine as it works in a completely different way.

  • What can homeopathy treat?

    Anything and everything is the short answer. Unfortunately, some diseases or states may be too far progressed for a cure, but there are very few cases that can’t be alleviated or made more comfortable. My particular interest is in women’s hormone health, but I also see men and children too.

  • How popular is homeopathy?

    Over 200 million people worldwide are regular users of homeopathy. It is included in the national health systems of Brazil, Chile, India, Mexico, Pakistan, and Switzerland. In the UK about 49% of the population have used homeopathy.

  • How does homeopathy work?

    It works on the principle of ‘like cures like’, matching a symptom picture to a remedy. However, the exact mechanism by which it works in the body is not yet understood. It seems to work by stimulating the body to heal itself. The energy of the person appears to recognise the pattern of its disease shown to it by the remedy, and the immune system responds to overcome the problem.

  • Are you a doctor?

    No. In some countries homeopaths are also trained medical or naturopathic doctors. In the UK, however, most homeopaths are trained in specialised, accredited, homeopathic training colleges.

  • Is there evidence that homeopathy works?

    Yes, there is evidence, although it is difficult to test the efficacy of homeopathic remedies as it is so individualised. There are studies, trials and research which show homeopathy working effectively. The Homeopathic Research Institute is a great place to find more information.
