When I tell people that I’m a homeopath and a health coach, they often wonder what I actually do!
In this article I’m going to answer that question by explaining what homeopathy is, what health
coaching is, and how I use both practices to help my clients in a truly holistic way.
WHAT IS HOMEOPATHY?
Homeopathy is a system of natural, holistic healthcare, with treatment based on the individual and
what is going on for them as a whole person. It began in the first half of the nineteenth century
with the physician, Samuel Hahnemann. He discovered that a substance in very diluted,
succussed form could cure the same symptoms as it had produced in a material (large) dose. This
is the principle of ‘like cures like’ on which homeopathy is founded.
Homeopathic remedies come in the form of sugar pills to which a tincture is added. They can be
made from anything that is found in the world: plants, animals, minerals, gases, etc. Because the
substances are intensely diluted they are very safe, even for use during pregnancy, for babies, or
for the frail or elderly. It is also safe to use alongside conventional medicine as it works in a
completely different way.
Homeopathy can be used to treat anything and everything, and there are very few ailments that
can’t be alleviated or made more comfortable through homeopathy. My particular interest is in
women’s hormone health, especially during perimenopause, menopause and post-childbirth.

WHAT IS HEALTH COACHING?
A health coach is someone trained in nutrition, fitness, lifestyle issues and coaching. This means
they can advise you in all these areas, help you build health plans, overcome obstacles, and
enable you to achieve your health goals. It is about building healthy habits, tapping into your inner
wisdom, and reaching the mindset you need to create a healthier life for yourself.
Health coaches look at your everyday nutrition and offer advice on healthy swaps and tweaks you
can make to improve gut health, mood, energy, sleep, weight, or just overall health. They will
encourage you to move your body in ways that are enjoyable and work for you. And they will look
at your stress levels, sleep, and work-life balance, helping you address any areas that you feel are
not currently working well.
Coaching involves getting the best out of the person you are working with. It requires deeply
listening, understanding, and working together to arrive at a realistic, practical, and specific plan
that suits the individual person.

THE WAY I WORK
I work using a combination of homeopathy and health coaching. Homeopathy can treat ailments
very effectively and deeply, but lifestyle issues can be an obstacle to full healing, which is where
health coaching comes in. Changes to nutrition, stress and sleep can make a massive difference
to someone’s physical and mental health, and can also enable the homeopathic remedies to reach
their full potential.
My approach is always tailored to the individual so I start by finding out how I can help, and who
the person is who has come to see me. I want to know someone’s physical, emotional, and
spiritual symptoms, I want to know their likes and dislikes, their health history, and how they have
become the person they are today. My homeopathic prescription will come from examining all
these factors, taking particular care to address the specific issue they would like help with.
I will also ask about someone’s food habits, exercise levels, sleep and stress. With my health
coaching hat on we then come up with practical solutions to any issues. Clients often see

improvements very quickly with these simple changes, and people find it empowering to be able to
take steps forward for themselves alongside their homeopathic treatment.

WHO I WORK WITH
I specialise in working with hormonal issues in women, particularly during perimenopause,
menopause, and post-childbirth. Every week I see women with symptoms like PMS, irregular
periods, anxiety, brain fog, poor sleep and hot flushes or night sweats. They may also be
experiencing high levels of stress and weight gain. Their symptoms may be constant or worse
before their period or during ovulation. Treatment frequently takes a few months and several
remedies, but change can often be glimpsed within a few weeks. It is wonderful to watch people
recover their balance as their bodies and minds re-align and symptoms gradually reduce.
While I specialise in this area, I actually treat people of all ages, from babies to the elderly, and
even some men as well! As well as hormonal health, people have come to me with a wide range
of issues, such as eczema, molluscum, allergies, anxiety, fatigue, post viral health, acne, recurrent
chest infections, and sinusitis. In each case I treat the individual and tailor my prescriptions and
advice to their needs.
