Homeopathy is a complementary medicine that has been practised for over 230 years, and is used regularly by over 200 million people worldwide (Prasad, R. Homoeopathy booming in India.  The Lancet, 2007; 370, 1679–1680). It is a natural, sustainable and gentle form of medicine. It is kind to you and to the planet.

Homeopathy treats the whole person.

Each homeopathic medicine is chosen according to the individual case. This means two people with the same condition may be prescribed different remedies depending on their individual symptoms and emotional responses to illness. Homeopathic treatment aims to trigger the body’s own healing mechanisms.

Like Cures Like.

Homeopathy is based on the principle of "like cures like". While a substance can cause symptoms when taken in large amounts, it can be used in small doses to treat similar symptoms. This principle dates back to Hippocrates in ancient times. The therapeutic system of Homeopathy was developed in 1796 by German doctor Samuel Hahnemann who was looking for a way to reduce severe side effects of medicines used at the time.

Homeopathic remedies.

Homeopathic remedies are highly diluted substances made from natural sources, and are prepared in accordance with strict guidelines by international pharmacopoeias, and under the control of the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). There are over 4,000 homeopathic remedies, and this number continues to grow with ongoing homeopathic research. Homeopathy is a cost-effective treatment that has an excellent safety record.

Your First Appointment

At your first appointment you can expect us to talk a lot. I will ask you questions about your life, health, lifestyle, sleep, and medical history. If you are new to homeopathy, the consultation will seem very different to your other medical appointments, and is much longer (about 1-1.5 hours). I might have unusual questions that your doctor never asked so I can get to know what makes you uniquely you. I will send you an intake form to complete before you arrive. You are welcome to bring along or send me any personal / medical notes, test results, medical imaging etc. 

At the end of the consultation I will spend some time analysing your case. Generally you can expect your first homeopathic prescription within a week. In most cases a single remedy is prescribed, while some cases may require multiple or sequential remedies.

Follow-up Consultations

The follow-up appointment is extremely important, as homeopathy doesn’t work in the same way as conventional or herbal medicines, so it’s important for us to evaluate any changes together. This consultation is about 30-45 mins and will usually be around 4 weeks after the first prescription, although may need to be sooner. I will ask about changes that have occurred, and decide on the next course of treatment. Additional follow-up appointments may be needed, and depends on factors such as your age, how long the symptoms have been going on, and your individual response to treatment. I will design your treatment plan and timeframes in consultation with you based on your unique case and how I can best support your healing journey.

You can also book in a follow-up appointment for any health concerns that come up after your initial treatment, for minor acute or first-aid conditions such as a cold or injury, or just as a check-in every now and again to help you stay on track.

Because homeopathy is a holistic form of medicine, it can be used for a wide range of symptoms - physical, mental, emotional, and behavioural. It can be used for acute conditions and every-day ailments (e.g. colds, coughs, sports injuries, etc), as well as chronic conditions (e.g. headaches, digestive health, skin complaints, hayfever, sleep, reproductive health, etc).

Homeopathy is particularly known to help manage on-going chronic complaints, and can be a valuable option for those seeking additional support alongside or beyond conventional care. People often come across homeopathy for the first time after they have tried everything else!

Homeopathic principles are based on an understanding that when we are sick or experiencing symptoms, the mind, body and spirit are out of balance. We become stuck in this state, with recurring sickness, reliance on medications, pain and suffering; or simply we know we are not 'sick' but nor do we feel well. Homeopathic treatment aims to set healing into motion and empower you to live a happy and healthy life.

Low doses mean toxic side effects are avoided, so people at all stages of life can take homeopathic remedies - babies, children, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, the elderly, and those in a weakened state. The remedies also work without interfering with conventional medicines.

I look forward to working together to restore your balance and health.
