Frequently Asked Questions

At our first appointment, we will meet for 1.5-2 hours to go over your health concerns, medical history, and how things affect you on a mental and emotional level. Homeopathic consultations can differ from other experiences with complimentary medicine practioners or doctors due to the unique, holistic approach that is taken. 

The goal when we meet is for me to get a good understanding of your experience as you move through life not just physically but mentally and emotionally as well.

Everyone is unique and with that, everyone's experience is unique to them. In homeopathy, the specific way you experience the manifestation of your symptoms along with your history help me to clearly see the pattern that is specific to you. Having a good understanding of your pattern of symptoms will lead me to selecting the remedy that is best suited to you.

​

Following your initial intake appointment, I will carefully analyze your case and select a single remedy that most closely matches how you experience your symptoms. 

Homeopathy seeks to restore health and balance at the root level of illness. It is important to remember that with chronic conditions, we generally don't get sick overnight. The path to wellness is often nonlinear and due to everyone's individual expression, vitality, and circumstances, it can be quicker for some and slower for others. This is why follow up appointments are paramount. At follow up appointments, we will check in, assess your response to the remedy, make changes and adjustments as your symptom picture shifts, and track your progress over time.  

No. Homeopathy differs greatly from conventional medications and works with the body to balance and restore. As your health improves and symptoms fall away, we will need to meet less often or not at all at which point I will be here for you if any new health challenges present in the future. 

Homeopathy addresses any symptoms you, the individual, are experiencing. While having a diagnosis or named condition can be helpful, no matter your diagnosis, if you can describe your symptoms, you can benefit from a well-matched homeopathic remedy.  

No. Homeopathic remedies do not work in the same way as conventional medications. There are no contraindications when using them simultaneously. However, if you are seeing improvement of your symptoms during treatment and would like to reduce your prescription medications, you will need to work closely with your doctor. Do not stop taking any medications before consulting your medical doctor. A homeopath is not a physician nor a substitute for a primary care provider. 

Homeopathic remedies are manufactured in homeopathic pharmacies and are overseen by the FDA. Most remedies are made from natural substances such as plants, minerals, and organic compounds. The manufacturing of remedies involves a process of serial dilution and succussion known as "potentization". Through this process, any potential toxicity is removed and the healing capacity is increased rendering them safe, gentle, and effective for infants, the elderly, and anyone in between. 

One remedy at a time. In classical homeopathy, a single remedy is chosen based on a comprehensive assessment of your physical, mental, and emotional symptoms. Employing the principle of  "like cures like," a remedy is selected that mirrors your complete symptom picture. Often, this picture shifts as your health improves. This is why follow up appointments are a crucial part of your care. Following your unique symptom picture as it evolves will enable me to continue to recommend the most fitting remedy for you at each point in your health journey. Some individuals may need only one remedy, many others need a few as their symptom picture shifts and their body communicates the need for a different remedy to take them to a higher level of health.
