WHAT IS HOMEOPATHY?

Homeopathy is a holistic system of medicine that seeks to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes through the use of highly diluted remedies. Developed by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann in the late 18th century, it is based on the principle of “like cures like.” This means that a substance capable of causing symptoms in a healthy person can be used, in minute doses, to treat similar symptoms in someone who is unwell.

Homeopathy is widely accepted as an energy medicine. Remedies are prepared through a process called potentization, where a substance is repeatedly diluted and shaken (succussion) in a specific manner. While this process reduces the presence of physical molecules, it is believed to enhance the energetic imprint of the original substance. This energetic essence resonates with the body’s vital force — the life energy that governs health — to restore balance and well-being.


Homeopathy treats the individual as a whole, considering physical, emotional, and mental states, rather than focusing solely on symptoms. It works by addressing the underlying energetic imbalances that cause illness, supporting the body’s ability to heal itself gently and naturally. Many people find it effective, reporting benefits for both acute and chronic conditions. With its non-invasive and individualized approach, homeopathy is celebrated for offering a natural, safe, and empowering path to health and vitality.


A homeopathic consultation involves getting to know the patient on a very deep level. Understanding how the patient thrives or struggles in their every day environment, how stress is managed, diet, likes and dislikes, dreams, relationships...and more. It is by understanding the patient as a whole system that a homeopath is then able to prescribe a remedy or course of remedies to suit.


A consultation is also a space to unburden, be yourself and let go.
