Homeopathy is my profession, and it is also central to my philosophy and lifestyle. While undergoing the extensive training and study to become a homeopath, I have realized just how much I have been shaped by my use of homeopathy as a mother, wife, friend, and caregiver. Homeopathy has helped me and those I care about, and I believe that with it, I can help others.

My journey began with a bikini… *blush*… *facepalm*…

After a really painful sunburn that aloe vera would not touch, I asked a helpful person at the local health food store for recommendations. She suggested a product called Weleda Burn Care and within fifteen minutes of application, my pain decreased by 80% and after the next application a few hours later I was 100% pain free and the skin was already healing! Thrilled at the results, I thought “what is this stuff?” and eagerly read the package to see “Homeopathic preparation of stinging nettle”.

Homeopathic? I had never heard that term in my life – even in the previous seven years of exploring natural, holistic, and alternative health options. Diving into research, I discovered this system of healing and began using it at home for minor injuries and illnesses. I began a course of self-study to help my family and friends.

Later, I worked with a professional homeopath who guided me on my healing journey while my body righted itself from several chronic issues including 25 years of migraine headaches. After experiencing this healing transformation, I decided I wanted to help others not just with acute issues such as colds and flus but with chronic issues as well. I completed my professional training in practical homeopathy with the Centre for Homeopathic Education in London, England. I continue to learn and grow my skills through the Society of Homeopaths in the UK, and the North American Society for Homeopathy.
