 About Me
I first became interested in homeopathy when my eldest daughter developed chronic eczema. Seeking an alternative I took her to a professional homeopath. After a few months of treatment her eczema had completely cleared up. I followed the same road when my youngest daughter was diagnosed as having asthma with equally good results.
I decided that I wanted to know more about this therapy, so that I could help others, and undertook a four year course at The British School of Homeopathy.
After graduating in 2004 I set up my own practice treating mainly children for many conditions like eczema, asthma, allergies and many other childhood illnesses. The results were outstanding with the children becoming more healthy and happy.
As my practice grew more people came to see me mostly through word of mouth. I began to see more women with hormonal problems like PMS, hot flushes and also emotional problems like SAD, depression, eating disorders.
I now treat many people with a variety of problems all of which have been helped by homeopathic treatment.
My aims within my work are to help people to feel better by supporting them and working with them towards being healthy, happy and free from the conditions which limit them in their life.
I am a registered member of The Society of Homeopaths.

Allergies and Hay fever

What is homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a complete system of treatment which can help you to fight off illness by stimulating the body’s own natural healing process. Treatment with homeopathy can alleviate distressing symptoms and treat conditions which would normally be treated with drugs e.g. antihistamines, antibiotics, bronchodilators and steroid creams.
What will treatment be like?
A homeopath will not need to make a physical examination but will need to obtain as much information about you and how your symptoms affect you physically and emotionally. Your personality, how you react to certain situations help the homeopath to understand you as a person and this is important when deciding on the right remedy for you.
What are the remedies?
Remedies are obtained for a number of sources, such as Pulsatilla (an anemone flower), Sepia (a sea creature) or Sulphur (a mineral).
The remedy is usually given in small tablet form and allowed to dissolve in the mouth.
What will happen when I take a remedy?
You may notice some changes; for some there will be an immediate improvement in energy, there may be a rash; old symptoms may reappear for a short time. These symptoms are part of the healing process and should not be treated. It is worth discussing any changes with your homeopath.
How long will treatment take?
Generally if your illness is one that you have had for a long time then it will take more treatments before your symptoms are clear. If it is an acute or recent condition then it is likely that you will respond more quickly.
