Post Partum Depression
Gaela, the remedy you gave me back in January has worked marvelously for the depression I was experiencing. After three doses I began to feel ‘level’ again on an on-going basis, and at last I have begun to feel more like how I was before I had my daughter. For this, I thank you. Thank you very much for the time and compassion you put into helping me through the difficulties I was experiencing last winter.

Colic and Breastfeeding Problems
Dear Gaela,
I wanted to thank you for helping us solve Alicia’s problems with colic. We had success with the remedy you prescribed. Since giving her one dose, she has been much, much happier.  She is even sleeping through the night now, really the change is miraculous and we cannot thank you enough!
Secondly, the remedy that you gave me for breastfeeding worked incredibly well. I have tried alfalfa, fenugreek, goat’s rue, fennel and blessed thistle and nothing worked as well for me as this remedy did that you gave me.
Thank you for your help,

Depression and Self-esteem
I am a young artist and I came to Gaela during my university degree to help with issues of depression and self-esteem. I was experiencing a real period of change and was questioning my own abilities and artistic goals.
Gaela’s calm and supportive demeanor put me at ease and allowed me to feel comfortable to to talk about these difficult feelings. Her sensitivity to my emotional state and her ability to understand the creative struggles I was facing meant that in my treatment I saw benefits to both my emotional well-being and my artistic production.
The remedies that Gaela has prescribed have been instrumental in allowing me to focus my energy towards my art, while giving me more confidence to believe in myself. I would highly recommend Gaela, as a homeopath she has allowed me to find greater personal stability and achieve a more positive outlook in my day-to-day life. Thank you Gaela!

Labour and Breastfeeding, Milk Supply
I first met with Gaela while I was nearing the end of my pregnancy with my second child. I wanted to get some remedies to help with labour and delivery. She was very thorough and provided me with remedies I might need based on my previous pregnancy and for other potential problems I might encounter. During my labour things slowed down twice and I used the remedies recommended by Gaela. Both times the remedies had a clear effect. I later consulted her when my son was 2 weeks old for low milk supply. Again, she was very thorough and sent me home with a few options. The first remedy I used worked remarkably well and I am happy to say that at 9 weeks old we no longer have to supplement with formula at all – I have lots of breastmilk!

Family Care
Homeopathy has been part of my family’s health care regime since my children were born. I consider it a safe approach that complements our family doctor. Now, in their 11th and 13th years, Gaela has begun to treat both my kids for various issues. In this past year Gaela has treated me for depression with positive results. I have been able to avoid taking anti-depressants and turned a number of growing symptoms off completely. She takes the time required and approaches my health from a holistic perspective. I appreciate her sensitive and thoughtful approach. Thanks Gaela!

Breastfeeding Pain
Gaela treated me for thrush (a yeast infection of the breast), which I contracted from my newborn while she was nursing. The condition continued to recur over a period of 4 months while I was being treated by my regular physician, and was becoming increasingly painful. Gaela prescribed the homeopathic remedy Phellandrium. The pain went away within 24 hours and it hasn’t returned!

Healing from Birth Trauma
Gaela treated me immediately after the birth of my son, initially with Arnica for afterpains and internal bruising which helped considerably as I didn’t need conventional painkillers, then for hemorrhoids and constipation, one dose of the remedy she suggested fixed both problems overnight. However, I am most grateful for Gaela’s help with an episode of threatened post-partum depression that stemmed from a traumatic birth. Her questions honed in on the real issues that were affecting my state of mind and labile emotions, she treated me with compassion and respect, not to mention that her remedy completely lifted my depression so I could focus on my beautiful new baby. Thank you Gaela, you are an excellent homeopath and I highly recommend you to anyone.

Gaela’s Workshop
Gaela’s knowledgeable presentations, coupled with entertaining anecdotes, made for an introduction to homeopathy that was practical and easy-to-remember. I highly recommend the four lecture series to anyone seeking an alternative or perhaps a complement to allopathic medicine.
