Welcome to the Blog
I hope the posts and videos on this blog stimulate you to think differently about your health. I'm sharing from the perspective of my training as a homeopath and my experience practicing meditation and somatic healing for over twenty years.
There are hundreds of posts, some from as far back as 2012. I invite you to search for whatever interests you and contact me if you have questions about anything I've written.

How can one little pellet…
It’s not magic. It’s not sorcery. Despite what people might tell you, it’s not “just a placebo”.
Homeopathy can bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
Homeopathy provides support for the changes you want to make in your life. This medicine reaches far beyond the physical symptoms that ail you.
What if you worked as hard at relaxing as you do at exercising? You really do need both.
About 60-70% of my patients have an exercise plan that they aspire to achieve.
Are your circling back through the same issues again and again?
It’s quite common for people to experience the same types of reactions and pain again and again. The question I would pose to you is what type of circling back are you doing?
Therapy isn’t something you should dread. It can be nurturing, loving and affirming not just gut wrenching
Have you dismissed going for more therapy because you believe it is too taxing?
Does the prospect of dealing with your emotional mess feel like more work than reward?
Sick of talk-based therapy? You can access your emotional material through your body
Before I launch into the merits of body-based emotional therapy, I want to give credit to traditional psychotherapy for all the benefits it provides.
Rest Into What You Know
The books, videos and posts that I value most, mirror something that part of me already knows.
When the body revolts, will you hear its cry?
Sadly, most people don’t correlate skin eruptions and mysterious pains with their emotional process, or lack there of. They mistakenly perceive the symptoms in their body as random and unrelated.
Homeopathy supports re-wiring the patterns of childhood trauma responses
Healing childhood trauma is a multi-faceted journey. It can be approached in many ways. Therapy is most common.
The survival mechanism that served us as children inhibits health as adults
Everybody adapted to survive his/her childhood. It sounds extreme but it’s true. There are no perfect parents and everyone has some degree of relational trauma, even in happy, well-adjusted families.
Stimulating the body to heal, is not the same as the body doing it by itself
People often think that treating naturally means letting the body heal itself. There are situations where the body can heal itself and any form of treatment won’t make much difference.
Stimulate your body, don’t suppress it
So many of the medicines that are readily available are suppressive in nature. Analgesics for headaches, anti-inflammatories for joint pain, laxatives for constipation.
Feel it, so you can heal it
I believe the way through is through. What does that mean? To me it means that radical healing requires us to feel the emotions that we have repressed.
Your tissues hold the story of your life
Sometimes we need to do some inner archaeological digging to make sense of what’s happening in the present. Why is that reaction or sensation so intense when nothing significant seems to be causing it now?
Uncover the story
When we have any symptoms in our bodies, we go to doctors to ‘see what is wrong’, which is a logical first step. We should make use of all the medical knowledge and screening that’s available to us.
You know your symptoms aren’t really what’s wrong, right?
Most of us think our symptoms are our problem. If we have a headache, it’s that headache that we want to get rid of.
Homeopathy can support the creation of healthy boundaries
People with healthy boundaries know their limits. They know when and how to say, “No”. They know when to rest, when to exercise and how much to work.
We don’t know our boundaries until we meet them
People have all kinds of ideas about what they will and won’t do but often those personal rules get broken?
When you Surender and Listen
Most of us like to know what’s happening. We may feel reassured by having a plan.
Look within to find the way out
Once you have gathered the external medical support you require, turn your attention back within to chart your course of healing.
