About Homeopathy
Founded by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann in 1790, homeopathy is a system of medicine which is based on the ancient law of similars or “like cures like.” This principle of “like cures like” means a substance in nature which creates a particular symptom in a healthy person can cure those same symptoms in a person experiencing them. Homeopathy recognizes the importance of healing the whole person- body, mind and spirt and also understands that the body has a natural ability to heal itself; sometimes it needs a boost to help it restore balance.
​
Homeopathy is gentle and safe. The medicines (or remedies as they are called) are made by diluting substances in nature (plants, animals, minerals). Hahnemann was concerned about side effects of medicines and he worked tirelessly at figuring out how to get the most healing without causing harm.
Homeopathy is used world-wide by over 500 million people. It is very popular in India, the United Kingdom, and the European Union and has been integrated into many health systems around the world. It was brought to the United States in the early 1800’s.
​
Homeopathy works with your body’s own innate propensity to heal itself. It addresses the root cause of dis-ease and allows the body to heal from the inside-out. A homeopath considers all aspects of the person—body, mind and spirit in the process of finding the right remedy to match. Every person and their experience is different, this is why homeopathy focuses on the individual—your own unique experience of what your symptoms are and how they are expressed.
About me
My journey into homeopathy started when I was 16 years old. My mom was having a difficult time with her peri-menopause symptoms and found that the western medical doctors could only offer invasive procedures or artificial hormones. She led our family down the path of discovery of all types of natural (alternative) medicine to find healing for herself. I remember the day we dropped my sister off at college and headed to Alexandria, VA to visit The National Center for Homeopathy (now located in Maryland) and purchased home remedy kits for our family. I have never looked back! I raised my own family using homeopathy and other alternative medical approaches as well as following a traditional diet.
Besides using homeopathy for acute illness, I consulted a professional for help with deeper issues such as chronic congestion, hormone issues, and anxiety. I have always had a passion for helping people and earned a Master of Arts in Counseling in 2007. In 2020, I was ready to delve deeper into the study of homeopathy and take my passion for this wonderful healing modality to the next level. I began studying at the Academy for Homeopathic Education and have logged over 500 hours of clinical work with clients from all over the world. I graduated from AHE in 2024 and will take the exam to become a certified classical homeopath (CCH) in October 2024.
