About Us
Homeopathy
Homeopathy uses minute doses of natural substances to stimulate the body’s ability to heal itself. Remedies address physical, mental and emotional symptoms. In my clinic I see patients with ear infections, hayfever, eczema, stress, depression, infertility, pregnancy nausea, migraines, food intolerances and child behavioural issues and many other conditions.
I've included at the bottom of this page a list of ailments that research (including randomised controlled trials) has shown have been helped with homeopathy. These range from allergies and post-operative bowel issues through to chronic fatigue, PMT and rheumatism.
Registered homeopaths complete at least 4 years professional study in NZ and then undergo an assessment process including case submissions and a panel interview in order to be 'registered'.
Hippocrates
Around 400BC, Hippocrates (the ‘father of medicine’ and after whom the ‘Hippocratic Oath is named) wrote that cures could be made by opposite or by similars. In our society we are mainly using cure by opposites (the medical system treats pain with a pain-killer, inflammation with an anti-inflammatory, bugs with antibiotics etc).
Hippocrates’ idea of cure by similars is less well known, and involves giving as a remedy a substance that would cause that condition or symptoms. (For example we would consider giving a remedy made from coffee for someone who has racing thoughts and insomnia, and a remedy made from onion for someone with burning weeping eyes and running nose etc.) This is the basic idea behind homeopathy – what will cause, will cure.
Hahnemann
A German doctor named Samuel Hahnemann developed homeopathy as a medical system in the 1790s. He also developed ‘potentisation’ whereby the remedies are diluted to the point where there is often none of the original substance remains, and succussed (or shaken). The energy or imprint remains, and this is what we use to treat “dis-ease”.
Remedies
We use remedies made from natural products from the plant, mineral and animal Kingdoms. There are thousands of possible Homeopathic remedies.
Sometimes people are working with the same remedy for months or years. For others we need to change the remedy from time to time, as we work through the layers in order to support your system back to health.
Muscle testing/Applied Kinesiology - Intentional Grace
When your body has chosen a remedy using 'intentional grace' (a subtle form of muscle testing), it generally chooses a remedy that will resonate at the deepest level that your system can and wants to work on at that time. The remedy may relate exactly to what you have come to see me for, or it may be that something else you’ve told me in the consultation has seemingly taken priority. But whichever appears to take precedence, the remedy will be addressing all aspects of you, physical, mental and emotional, and over time will be supporting your system to address the imbalance.
Similarly your body will prioritise how it wants to use the remedy. Some people will initially see a shift in their energy or in the ways they feel or deal with certain situations or relationships. Others will first notice a change in a physical symptom.
Kinesiology defies rationality but is a very useful tool. It has been used for years to test for food allergies and also for herbal supplements, and now for homeopathic remedies as well.
