FAQs

Many alternative therapies are complementary. Reiki and craniosacral osteopathy are two common systems of healing that are complementary to homeopathic treatment. In addition, many people find it beneficial to take various self-healing courses to boost their vitality, not just on a physical level. Yoga, meditation, and chi gong are all effective healing tools.

Please advise me if you are currently having, or are considering having acupuncture treatment as both acupuncture and homeopathy are “energy” therapies and it may be counterproductive to pursue both at the same time.

Please advise me if you are taking these, especially if they have been prescribed by a naturopathic physician or an acupuncturist. Requirements for these can change (as with conventional medications) if homeopathic treatment is effective.

It is fine for you to continue to take all-purpose multi-vitamins or mineral supplements. It is recommended that you avoid mega doses (larger than the daily recommended dosage) of any supplement while you are pursuing homeopathic treatment. Please bring these to my attention if you haven’t already done so.

The initial constitutional homeopathic evaluation fee includes: prep before the consultation, an initial consultation (up to 2 hours), case research and analysis of your case, email support, and follow-up scheduling reminders.

After your initial homeopathic visit, I will carefully research, study and analyze your case, elements discussed and observed in the visit. I will make one remedy recommendation, exclusively for you.

Depending on your situation, I may also recommend other treatments, dietary/lifestyle changes, etc. Through this therapeutic and collaborative partnership, clients often gain increased vitality and health.

Follow-up appointments are a vital means of assessing your progress. Often scheduled at 4-week intervals until your condition stabilizes, your individual needs will determine the frequency of follow-ups. The goal is to return you to health so you only call me as needed. Follow-ups last approximately 30-60 minutes.

Currently, I provide virtual online tele-health sessions via Zoom.

If you are unable to keep your scheduled appointment, kindly provide at least 24 hours notice. Charges will apply for missed appointments and late cancellations.

To avoid impatience. This is especially true for chronic disease. Homeopathy does not have specific medicines to relieve pain, allay anxiety, counteract insomnia, etc. Homeopathic prescriptions are always designed to eradicate illness of the entire organism. The goal is harmonious functioning on all levels of being, not merely momentary relief of specific symptoms. Sometimes this process takes weeks or months and in more severe cases it can take one or two years.

One must not be too impatient. Clients sometimes consult homeopaths with the idea that a miracle is likely to occur, and when progress is slower than they expect, they denounce homeopathy and seek another therapy. The laws of Nature proceed at their own pace and they do not progress any faster under the demands of impatience.

The strength of the immune system/individual is determined to a large extent by hereditary factors. Clients coming from families exhibiting many chronic diseases are likely to require a longer time for healing. In addition, clients with a history of several illnesses, particularly if treated with many allopathic drugs, present more problems for homeopathic treatment. And finally, clients with long histories of poor diet, no exercise, and abuse of alcohol or drugs can expect healing only after extended periods of time.

The responsibility which occasionally can be the most demanding for clients is that of waiting out whatever healing aggravations occur. In the process of eradicating illness, the strengthening of the vital force may result in a temporary increase of symptoms. Usually this lasts from only a few hours to a few days, but in some cases it may take longer. If the client doesn’t understand this possibility, it may at first seem as if the homeopathic medicine is having an adverse effect and there may be a tendency to seek allopathic relief from the exacerbated symptoms. The same confusion may occur if the client expects to never have a relapse, when in fact his or her particular case is expected to require several remedies in order to accomplish full healing. The client must be able to recognize what is happening and trust the judgment of the homeopath. The client must avoid panic and await further developments.

Choosing homeopathic health care is a decision that should be made with the understanding that it takes time. It is realistic to consult a classical homeopath if you can commit to an initial appointment and three follow up appointments. After this time period, results should be apparent.

Homeopathy is based on the philosophy that the body, mind and emotions are not separate and distinct, but are actually fully integrated. Based on this perspective, a homeopath seeks a remedy that fits all of a client’s physical and psychological symptoms. Although some people’s symptoms may be complex, a well-trained homeopath will know which symptoms should be specially noted, and can choose an effective, individualized remedy.

Prolonged emotional stress can cause physical problems, like upset stomach, difficulty in digesting foods, poor nutrient assimilation, weaker immune system, sleeplessness, etc. The opposite is also true. Illness and physical problems can result in anxiety or emotional uneasiness. Therefore, it is important for a homeopath to conduct an in-depth interview of a client to ensure a proper, all-encompassing remedy.

Homeopathy works with the innate healing intelligence of the body.
