Homeopathy
For the Root Cause
Homeopathy works on the simple idea that your symptoms are not enemies to silence but signals to interpret. Each remedy is chosen because, in its natural form, it can produce a pattern of symptoms strikingly similar to the ones you now experience. Given back in an ultra-diluted, energetically “potentised” form, that same substance nudges your body to finish the healing conversation it already started—rather than merely muting the noise.
Unlike pharmaceuticals, homeopathic remedies are matched to the whole person. During a consultation we look at everything from the exact flavour of your pain (“burning,” “stabbing,” “dull ache”) to the emotions that flare with it, your sleep patterns, food cravings, even dreams. The result is a single remedy tailored as precisely as a bespoke suit, designed to work with your individual vitality instead of against it.
Preparation is where homeopathy’s gentleness shines. A plant, mineral, or animal substance is serially diluted and vigorously shaken (succussed) until little or none of the original material remains—only its energetic signature. Because the dose is energetic rather than chemical, the remedies are non-toxic, non-addictive, and safe for infants, the elderly, and anyone already taking medication. You can think of a remedy less as a “drug” and more as a tuning fork, prompting your system to remember its own healthy resonance.
In my practice, I use four main types of homeopathic remedies. Constitutional Remedies to match your overall picture, Sequential Therapy to gently clear past traumas and life events, and Miasmatic Remedies go even deeper, addressing inherited patterns or tendencies that may run in your family. Targeted Prescribing for specific conditions,
Acute Prescribing
Most homeopathic treatment begins by matching a remedy to your current symptoms. This is often called an “acute” or “first-aid” prescription, but it’s also how we begin with chronic conditions like fibromyalgia. The remedy is chosen based on your particular pattern - what makes the pain better or worse, what kind of pain it is, what other symptoms are showing up, and even how you’re feeling emotionally. It’s a practical way to start, especially when symptoms are strong or changing. Over time, this may lead into deeper work, but the first step is simply to find the remedy that matches where you are now.
Constitutional Remedies
A constitutional remedy is chosen to match the overall pattern of a person. I look at your physical characteristics, emotions, sleep patterns, food preferences, and general personality traits. The remedy that matches this pattern best is used to support your body’s ability to rebalance over time.
Sequential Therapy
In Sequential Therapy, I go through your medical and life history in order, starting from the most recent events and working backward. Each major event (like surgeries, accidents, emotional shocks, or vaccine) is treated with a specific set of remedies. The idea is that each layer can leave behind a kind of energetic imprint. By addressing these in order, the body can gradually let go of those effects one at a time.
Miasmatic Work
Miasms are inherited tendencies passed down through families. They’re not diseases but patterns that can show up as certain physical or emotional issues. Miasmic remedies address these deeper inherited patterns. It’s a way to reduce long-term chronic tendencies and support general resilience.
Energetic Medicine
Energetic medicine is a form of healing that works through subtle vibrations and informational fields rather than physical substances. Rooted in both ancient traditions and modern discoveries, it recognizes that the body responds not only to chemistry, but also to frequency and intention. From homeopathic remedies diluted beyond the molecular level to healing prayers and paper remedies, energetic medicine offers a powerful, non-invasive approach to restoring balance—often across distance and without material contact.
