FAQ

Yes! Homeopathic prescribing is based on your experience of your symptoms. As long as you, or someone close to you, can talk to me via video or phone, I can take your case

Absolutely! From the womb through adolescence, kids and teens respond really well to homeopathy. We can meet together - parent/caregiver and child - or if the child is old enough and willing to have some one-on-one time with me, we can split our consultation time. It is important to hear how the child (if old enough and able) experiences life and their struggles as well as hearing from the parents/caretakers and their observations. We will work together to find an approach that works for everyone.

Classical homeopathy uses ONE remedy to alleviate unwanted symptoms are increase vitality. The remedy will match the clients mental, emotional, and physical symptom picture, not just a few individual symptoms. In classical homeopathy, we don’t recommend protocols or multiple remedies because these are not rooted in homeopathic philosophy and will not get to the root cause of a condition, only suppress it. Dr Samuel Hahnemann (founder of homeopathy) wrote clear instructions on the best way to administer remedies. Classical homeopaths adhere to these instructions and it allows us to track progress and have more lasting results.

I studied at the Academy of Homeopathy Education. I completed over 1,000 hours of didactic and clinical training. Their program is very rigorous, being referred to as the Harvard of homeopathy schools. By going here, I will be allowed to sit for the certification exam and become a Certified Classical Homeopath. This is something that is very important for you look for when choosing a homeopath.

Homeopathy has both a wide and deep range of application for both acute and chronic conditions. Homeopathy doesn’t address named conditions because it does not view each symptom as a separate problem. Homeopathy views a person’s mental, emotional, and physical symptoms as manifestations of a deep internal balance. When a remedy is chosen that covers this larger symptom picture, a holistic approach, you see amazing results. Homeopathy addresses that whole person, not just individualized symptoms.

Homeopathic remedies are minute doses of a natural substances that go through a specific process of dilution and succussion to activate or “potentize” them. Once these substances are potentized, they act as a signal to stimulate the body’s own healing response.

Homeopathy is based on the principle of “like cures like” which means instead of suppressing symptoms, we find the remedy that best matches the clients mental, emotional, and physical symptom picture to treat the entire person. Giving a remedy sends a signal which mirrors the body’s own “dis-ease” and we are able to ameliorate symptoms.

Yes! Homeopathy is a great compliment to allopathic treatment. Remedies don’t work on the chemical level like allopathic medicines do. If you are seeing improvement of your symptoms and would like to reduce you prescription medications, you will need to talk to you medical provider to do so. Do not stop any medication before consulting with your medical doctor.

After you receive your remedy recommendation and begin taking your remedy, I like to have a small check in 7-10 days later. This is only when started a new remedy and is no cost. This just allows me to gauge your initial response to the remedy and make any adjustments if needed. Then we schedule your follow up for 3-4 weeks later.

Ongoing follow ups can differ for everyone. It depends on your symptoms and response to the remedy. The time between follow ups can vary and change through the course of chronic treatment.

In general, most follow ups are every 4-6 weeks. I typically don’t like to go longer than that so I can make sure I stay up to date and avoid having to re-take a case if too much time has lapsed in between. However, I understand life happens and I’m always happy to accommodate you even if there has been a lapse in treatment. I will meet you where ever you are in your healing journey.

This is such a nuanced question. The body does very predictable things in response to traumas, infections, and dis-ease. It can inflame, bleed, swell, numbs, or a number of other things. These are things I have worked with.

But, I may not have seen a combination of symptoms like you have, which is a good thing! This is good because I can individualize your case and the more individualized your case is, the more I can identify a remedy that matches your unique symptom picture.

This is different from conventional medicine which aims to identify symptoms in order to check boxes so a standardized course of treatment can be recommended.

In homeopathy, we look for strange, rare, and peculiar symptoms that are uncommon. If I can understand why your stomach ache is different from another clients stomach ache, I can better identify the remedy that will help you. If you have a burning stomachache and another client had a cramping stomachache, your remedies will likely not be the same even though if you went to a conventional doctor, your prescription may be the same.

Yes! If anything comes up in between appointments, I want you to reach out! Whether it is an acute or a flare of your chronic condition, communication is important. Depending on the time of day you send your message and the urgency, I will get back to you within 48 hours (most of the time sooner). If you don’t hear back within 48 hours, assume human error and reach back out.

I do ask that you respect I am not on call 24-7 and will get back to you as soon as I can. If you have an emergency, it is best to call your doctor or go to your nearest ER and we can chat after the emergency has subsided.

Absolutely! Communication is so important. If it is after hours or a weekend or the remedy is very clear to you, please let me know the situation and what remedy you took, the potency, and how many times you took it. However, sometimes what look like acutes are really just a flare up of your chronic state in which case we can often use your chronic remedy to get you through.

I would really prefer for you to reach out before taking any different remedies, but understand that is not always possible. There is no charge for acute flare ups of your chronic state. True acutes (flu, rsv, covid, injury, etc) are a $25 charge for established chronic clients. This allows you to be a little more in touch with me than normal to get you through the worse parts of your acute illness.

I do not support or use muscle testing to confirm my remedy recommendation. I spend hours in analysis of your case and remedy recommendation. There are many different variables in choosing a remedy including posology and potency. If this is something you feel strongly about, I would recommend seeing a homeopath who is open to this.

My office hours are Monday through Friday, 9am-4:30pm Central Standard Time. I do check my e-mail frequently throughout the day, so if there is something that needs my attention, please e-mail me. I do ask that you respect I am not on call 24-7. If there is an emergency, please visit your doctors office or emergency room and we can connect afterwards.

I try to make homeopathic care accessible and accept payment plans. If you cannot afford a consultations, please reach out directly to me.
