Individualized Treatment

Your homeopath listens to you and provides individualized treatment that connects mind and body.

You may not realize that homeopathy is an option for depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, migraines, chronic pain, chronic fatigue syndrome and more.

Homeopathy is a wonderful support during the transitions in a woman's life; whether menstrual/hormonal, fertility, pregnancy and motherhood, and menopause. Your constitutional remedy will ease the symptoms  that often accompany these times and prevent or heal any complications.

Fertility

I know first hand how difficult it can be when pregnancy does not happen easily. There are remedies for many conditions related to fertility, and  it can help with the emotional and physical stresses that accompany infertility treatment. Thyroid issues, PCO's, and other conditions, both female and male factor, can be treated.

Unexplained infertility can be frustrating when tests show that 'nothing is wrong'. Homeopathy can help because the treatment is tailored to the individuals involved, and there does not need to be a test result to correct health imbalances and improve fertility.

Prenatal consultations

Consider homeopathy for the discomforts of pregnancy including:

Nausea/morning sickness/ exhaustion/ cramps/ constipation/diarrhea/ mild oedema/ anemia/ carpal tunnel syndrome anxiety/ emotional changes/ loss of libido/ depression 

The prenatal period is also an excellent time to consider 'constitutional treatment' – the homeopathic remedy that matches your 'whole picture' will clear up many pregnancy symptoms as well as improving your overall health both physically and mentally, paving the way for a healthy pregnancy, birth and postpartum period.                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

Your labour kit will contain safe remedies for turning a breech baby, labour induction, anxiety and shock, exhaustion, and easing the pain of back labour, among others. Midwives are familiar with many of these remedies.  A consultation with you and your birth partner is a beneficial way to learn about these remedies and how to administer them in labour.

Post partum care

House calls can be arranged as well as telephone consultations during the post partum period.
