I treat people of any age – adults, adolescents, children, babies. The first appointment lasts up to 60 or 90 minutes - there is a lot more to learn about an adult than a child. Follow-up appointments are an integral part of maintaining and supporting the restoration to health that is set in motion after the first visit.
The homeopathic consultation is a detailed gathering of information including a lot more than the presenting problem. Whether it be life transition (eg. new job, bereavement, new baby), work /school or relationship related stress, or a physical condition such as recurring throat infections, digestive disorder, sleep problems, etc. – all aspects of the person with the problem can be significant in determining the most effective individualised treatment. Questions such as what make your symptoms better or worse – eg. weather, temperature, foods; how much sleep you get, etc. are asked in order to build a fuller picture of how your symptoms are unique to you.
Homeopathic treatment takes a holistic view and part of the support may include the advice to see a medical practitioner to have tests or to discuss other options regarding a presenting condition. Another aspect of the treatment is to encourage the patient to make choices as to which treatment path they wish to pursue, and to take responsibility for that choice.
