Homeopathy: Virtual or face to face

It is a gentle, holistic intervention that stimulates the body to regain its natural equilibrium. We use a remedy that if taken by a person with different susceptibilities, would show the same symptom picture that you're displaying. When you take it, it helps your body to recognise the dis-ease and stimulate your own immune system to fight it.

All of your body (and mind) is throwing out symptoms that highlight your dis-ease; or to put it another way, your distance away from a perfectly balanced system. Considering these symptoms together helps us to find a remedy whose picture is most similar to your state right now. So when you come to see a homoeopath, we'll ask you about all sorts of things that you may not think are relevant; but the answers may hold the key to the case. 

Homeopathy and Reiki are both supplementary therapies and do not affect the action of medication prescribed by your Doctor. Equally, they will not adversely affect any surgical or other procedure you are booked in for. 

Many homoeopathic remedies are made from plants, so there are similarities. Where herbalists will make a tincture by extracting the juices from a plant. Homoeopaths dilute this tincture whilst agitating (succussing) it and this serves two purposes: It removes the poisonous aspect of a plant and opens up a wider range of symptoms it can support. 

In addition, homoeopathic remedies aren't limited to plants. They can be made from elements, salts, gemstones, animal milk, food, feathers, fur; almost anything you can think of. 

Every new homoeopathy client is asked to complete a new client information sheet before their first consultation. That way I can target the session more effectively to what and how you are feeling right now, but also have an idea of where and what might have triggered your symptoms. 

Because homoeopathy considers the whole being, I'm interested in historical ailments and patterns as well as those of your family. It may well be relevant and the pre-filled information sheet means I can use our time together more effectively to explore you, the life you're living and how you're feeling.

All of this information will be kept confidential because it's important you can share it honestly. I'm interested in how you're reacting to situations or dealing with them just as much as the physical symptoms you have. 

Coming to see a homoeopath is an investment in your health and you will usually expect to have several appointments to assess change over time. Appointments are usually scheduled 6 weeks apart unless acute symptoms need keeping a closer watch over.  I recommend at least 3 to help us discover and act on the bigger picture. Many clients continue beyond these. 

Reiki is a gentle therapy where the therapist channels universal energy to rebalance yours.  A lovely relaxing therapy where you lay fully clothed on a therapy bed with relaxing music and ambient lighting whilst the therapist works on your energy field from head to toe.  You may feel tingling, hot or cold spots, or even bring emotion to the surface whilst your energy is realigned. 

Yes. I'm fully insured under the Society of Homeopaths insurance, with Reiki stated as an additional therapy. 

Anyone who's health can improve can benefit from homeopathy or reiki.
