Frequently Asked Questions

I always advise patients to expect to need 3-4 consultations for a chronic condition. It may be more, it may be less. There are many factors to take into account from how strong your immune system is, to how long you have had the condition and what other conditions you currently have and/or are having treatment for. Sometimes, one session is enough but most often 3-4 is the average in my experience.

Again, this varies, some notice an improvement instantly eg. an ulcer. It can be so quick that people can’t believe the remedy can have acted in that timeframe. In some cases it can take 3-4 weeks, it really depends.

Homeopathic pharmacies will generally recommend not to eat or drink anything for 15 minutes before or after taking a remedy. The reason is that some people find that brushing teeth with minty toothpaste or drinking coffee will stop the effects of the remedy.

In my experience, while a small number of people are very sensitive to this, the majority of people will still reap the benefits regardless. I know mothers who have put the remedy in their children’s orange juice or porridge and it still worked, so most people are lucky enough not to need to worry too much about what else they eat or drink alongside the remedies.

Either way, I’ll give you clear guidance on what is right for you.

Of course, contact me anytime if you have a question. I am often in consultations where I don’t look at my messages, but will always come back to you as soon as I can. If I’m not available, I will leave details of someone to contact in my absence and if it’s an urgent medical need, always contact your local emergency provider.

I’m always happy to cancel a consultation if you are feeling better. Please give me as much notice as you can so I can offer the space to someone else… and if you’re able to send me a testimonial it would be much appreciated. Many are unsure as to whether homeopathy will work for them, testimonials are key in giving them the confidence to try it.

I understand that people can be apprehensive to pay for a treatment which they don’t know will work, but I’ve seen clients with fantastic results. Many can put aside enough each month for treatment by going out a bit less, or cutting back on other non-essential spending. If I’d been able to guarantee that outcome for that price from the outset, they’d have bitten my arm off for it – I just can’t guarantee an outcome unfortunately! If cost is an issue, ask and I will reduce the fees for you if I can.

I do. Treating a child is just as much, if not more, work than treating an adult. If cost is an issue, ask and I will reduce the fees for your child if I can.

Absolutely, I have two clinics locally where we can meet face to face, The Orchard Clinic in Upper Basildon or Theale Wellbeing Clinic in Theale. I am based near Goring & Streatley so have many patients who are based in Oxfordshire and Berkshire.

Alternatively, we can meet online through WhatsApp, Zoom, GoogleMeet etc. Many patients prefer to meet face to face for the first appointment, then online after that but choose whichever works for you.

I wish I could, but I can’t… Even if I’d had great success treating one person for anxiety, hormone imbalance or gut health, there’s no guarantee the next person will have the same result. It all depends on what brought them to this place and what else is going on in their lives.

I can guarantee you that I will do my absolute best to help you.

In my experience, everyone likes them… Children in particular. It may sound crazy, but it’s as though the body instantly knows what they are absorbing is going to help them. I had the battle of trying to persuade my child to take antibiotics once when they were little as they felt it tasted so bad… I was very relieved at what a different experience I had when I gave them a Homeopathic remedy!

I studied for 4 years, but the studying doesn’t end there. A good homeopath continues to study all the way through their career… There are new remedies and cases to learn from all the time.

A reaction is a good thing, by that I mean that often a symptom has been “stuck” in limbo for a long time. The remedy rebalances the immune system into clearing the symptoms. In doing so, you may find you feel more energised, you may notice your skin gets a little itchy or you have a little diarrhoea – all these can be good reactions – and signs that your body is clearing out toxins. They will typically pass quickly and  afterwards you will feel stronger.
