She trained with Homeopaths/Educators Shelley McQuerter, CIHom and Willow Tipton, DIHom & received her certification in Homeopathy and Bach Flower Essences in February 2007. She was drawn to Homeopathy because it is a safe, natural and gentle method of healing and balancing the body. A typical consultation is very in-depth & lasts approximately 90 minutes. She will take into consideration such things as family & health history, lifestyle, mental & emotional states and current health conditions and symptoms in order to build a multidimensional picture of the individual. Homeopathy is based on the Principal "like treats like" and is highly individualized, in that several people suffering from the same illness may require completely different remedies.
