Working With Me

 

I’m glad you’ve gotten this far down the page. If you’re wondering what it’s like working with me, here is what I do.

 

The first consultation takes about 60 minutes. The two follow-ups are around 40 minutes each.

 

During the consultation we will discuss your symptoms. We then cover other issues like sleep, energy, digestion, and past illnesses. We will also talk about your lifestyle, relationships, and stresses.

 

Your remedies and health recommendations usually arrive in the mail about 5 days later.

Online

 

I do all my consultations over the phone, usually on WhatsApp or Messenger. Most people prefer it because there is no traveling and waiting in line. Just sit on your sofa at home with a nice cup of coffee while chatting to me.​

My Method

 

Over and over again, during my 12 years in homeopathic practice, I have found that skin disease is rarely limited to the skin.​ Stress, diet, the environment, and emotions can all influence the health of the skin.

Cleanse

​

The skin is an organ of elimination and skin problems are often a sign of toxins deeper within the body. I usually begin treatment by finding out which toxins are present in a person's environment, and then as far as possible get rid of them. Some of clients may also benefit from a gentle cleanse. ​​​​​

Lifestyle and Nutrition

​

Nutrition can play an important role in skin health, but there is no single “psoriasis diet” that suits every person. I look for individual patterns rather than imposing a long list of permanent restrictions.

​

For example, after one client followed a structured elimination diet, we discovered that dairy appeared to aggravate her symptoms. Within a month of removing dairy, her skin had cleared. Another client experienced gradual improvement after eliminating sodas and added sweeteners.​​​​​

Mind and Stress

 

The connection between the mind and the skin can be powerful. Many people notice that their skin problems are worse during times of stress, grief, or conflict.

​

One client told me that his flare-ups only occurred when he felt stressed. I encouraged him to begin therapeutic journaling. His improvement took approximately six months. A few stubborn areas remain on his legs and elbows.

​

Depending on the person, I may suggest flower remedies, journaling, mindfulness exercises, or relaxation exercises to reduce stress.

Homeopathy

 

I use homeopathic remedies in my practice. The wonderful thing about homeopathic remedies is they treat the whole person. Conventional medicines, in contrast, are designed to treat one symptom, for example, corticosteroids reduce inflammation.

​

Homeopathy approaches the person differently. Rather than selecting a homeopathic remedy based on one symptom, I consider the skin condition, other physical symptoms, personality, and state of mind of the patient.
