About Homeopathy

Homeopathy is an effective system of medicine using safe, natural remedies derived from plants, animals and minerals. It is non-toxic, non-addictive; it does not cause side effects and is not tested on animals. It can be used alongside conventional medicine and is suitable for all ages including babies, children, pregnant women and the elderly. Homeopathy treats the root cause of illness, the goal being to restore you to full health.

Babies & Children

In my child-friendly practice, I really enjoy working with babies and children. In my experience, they respond incredibly well to homeopathy and often need only a short course of treatment to restore health and well-being.

As well as allowing the child to speak for themselves (if they can) Mums, Dads and carers are welcome at the consultation because they play a vital role in helping me learn how your baby or child is affected by their symptoms.

Homeopathy can raise the immunity of your baby or child to help deal with illness throughout their childhood. Homeopathy not only helps when your child is ill, it can also help prevent illness and give support through difficult periods in a child’s life.

There are also remedies which can help a baby or child in 1st aid and acute situations such as colic, teething, nappy rash, coughs and colds and I would be happy to discuss these with you at your consultation.

I recently wrote an article for the Ask the Expert column in the Sheffield edition of the National Childbirth Trust newsletter. This article covered homeopathic remedies for shock, bumps/bruises, cuts grazes and wounds, burns and scalds. Feel free to download a copy of it here.

Which conditions can be helped?

Homeopathy treats the whole person and not just the condition. Homeopaths are frequently consulted by people suffering from the symptoms of:

  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, M.E, Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia
  • Low energy levels
  • Eczema, psoriasis
  • Asthma, bronchitis, allergies
  • Infertility, pregnancy, PMS, menstrual irregularities, menopause
  • Stress, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, grief
  • IBS, ulcers, food intolerances
  • Rheumatoid and osteo-arthritis, rheumatism, sciatica

This list is by no means exhaustive. It is important that you consult your medical practitioner if you have any serious health concerns and your Homeopath may advise you to visit your doctor for diagnostic tests.

I have a particular interest in, and experience of, treating:

  • Babies and Children
  • Immune system conditions eg ME, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia
  • Gynaecological conditions including infertility and menopause

I also use Bach Flower Remedies to support the homeopathic process. Bach Flower Remedies are completely safe and natural and can be used by all the family. For more information see www.bachremedies.co.uk

Consultations

The initial consultation is up to 2 hours with follow up appointments lasting up to 1 hour approximately every 4-6 weeks to review your progress. Your homeopathic remedy will be posted to you after the consultation. The aim is to restore your health so eventually you will need infrequent treatment. Once you feel you are at your optimum health level, you may choose to return every few months to help maintain your level of health. For those with mobility problems, I may be able to arrange a home visit (mileage additional).

If you are a member of a private health plan such as Westfield, Forester or HSA you can claim back all or part of your fees.  Family, children and block booking discounts are available as well as concessions to those over 65 or in receipt of Disability Benefit. The consultation fee includes the cost of your homeopathic medicine. Payment is due at the time of consultation and appointments missed or cancelled within 24 hours may be charged.  Please contact me for full details.
