The first section is for anyone curious about starting homeopathic care, and the second is for active clients who want clarity on what treatment looks like day-to-day. If you still have questions after browsing, I warmly invite you to reach out.

General Frequently Asked Questions

  • Please fill out the Contact form at the bottom of this page, and I’ll get back to you promptly with available options. I can’t wait to meet you and explore how homeopathy can transform your life!

  • Homeopathy is a natural system of medicine that treats the whole person, body, mind, and emotions, by using tiny doses of natural substances to gently stimulate the body’s own healing power. It’s been used for over 200 years and focuses on finding the remedy that matches your unique symptoms.

  • Yes! When prescribed by a well-trained homeopath, homeopathy is a very safe and gentle form of medicine. Remedies are made from natural substances and prepared in ultra-dilute doses. They don’t suppress symptoms or carry toxic side effects and are safe for people of all ages—including babies, elders, and pregnant individuals.

  • It depends! Some people notice changes quickly, especially with short-term illnesses. For chronic or long-standing conditions, healing may take longer, sometimes weeks or months. Some practitioners say that for every year you've had a condition, it may take about a month of healing, and that can be a helpful general guide. But in reality, it’s highly individual and depends on your overall vitality, constitution, and the nature of the illness. The goal is deep, lasting health, not just a quick fix.

  • Always check with your doctor or prescribing practitioner before stopping or reducing any medication. Homeopathy can often be used alongside prescription drugs and other conventional treatments. Your care can be safely coordinated to support your healing without interfering with important medications.

  • Most homeopathy consultations are held remotely via Zoom video. There’s no physical exam, instead, we focus on a detailed conversation about your health. I’ll ask about your physical symptoms, health history, emotional state, energy, sleep, lifestyle, and more, to understand your unique experience. It’s best to be in a quiet, comfortable place with minimal distractions so we can really focus on you.


    If the client is a child, I find it very helpful to spend some time with the child present, so I can observe them and include their perspective when appropriate. In most cases, I will also spend dedicated time speaking with the caregiver(s) alone to gather a full picture.


    The more openly you share, the better I can match you with a remedy that fits your unique picture.

  • Definitely! Homeopathy is gentle and safe for people of all ages, even newborns. Starting off on the right foot pre-conception, during pregnancy, and through childhood is one of the greatest gifts we can offer our children. Homeopathy can support and strengthen their systems, helping to build a strong, resilient constitution. Many parents find it especially helpful for common childhood issues as well as ongoing health needs.

  • Homeopathy has a history of over 200 years of helping people heal through a personalized and holistic approach. Research has demonstrated promising results in various settings, including:

    • Upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs): A meta-analysis published in Homeopathy (2015) found that homeopathic treatments reduced the duration and severity of URTIs in children compared to placebo. Link to abstract

    • Allergic rhinitis: A randomized controlled trial showed that individualized homeopathic treatment improved symptoms of allergic rhinitis significantly more than placebo. Link to study

    • Fibromyalgia: A pilot study found that homeopathy led to significant improvements in pain, fatigue, and quality of life in fibromyalgia patients. Link to study

    • Chronic sinusitis: A study published in BMC Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders reported improvement in chronic sinusitis symptoms with homeopathic treatment. Link to study

    • Post-operative recovery: A review found homeopathy helped reduce post-operative pain and improve recovery in patients after surgery. Link to study

    • Piglet Diarrhea Reduction: A randomized controlled trial found that individualized homeopathic treatment significantly reduced E. coli diarrhea in newborn piglets compared to placebo. Link to study

    These findings support homeopathy’s role as a gentle and individualized healing system valued worldwide.

  • Before our session, I’ll send you a health inventory form and a consent form to complete electronically at least 24 hours in advance. This helps me prepare to support you best. During the consultation, please be in a quiet space with minimal to no interruptions so you can fully focus on yourself and your story. Know that I will never push you to share anything you’re not comfortable discussing, your consent and comfort are my highest priorities. Just come prepared to share your health story in your own way, and I will guide you as needed.

  • Yes! Homeopathy makes a thoughtful and meaningful gift. Whether it’s for a friend or family member navigating a health challenge or someone curious about holistic care, gift certificates are available for both initial consultations and follow-ups. If you’d like to purchase one, just send me an email and we’ll get it set up together.

Active Client Frequently Asked Questions

  • Each person’s healing journey is unique, but generally, you’ll notice gradual shifts in your symptoms, energy, mood, or sleep. Some changes may be subtle at first, while others might be more noticeable. We’ll work together to track your progress and adjust your remedy as needed. Healing is a process, and my goal is to support you toward lasting balance and wellness.

  • I’m here to support you every step of the way, and I warmly welcome your questions and updates between appointments. For quick clarifications or brief check-ins, email is a great way to stay connected. That said, to truly understand your case and how your body is responding, it’s important that we keep sight of the bigger picture, seeing the forest through the trees. More detailed concerns or unfolding changes are best explored during your scheduled follow-ups, which are designed to give your case the time and focus it deserves.


    I sometimes suggest keeping a simple health journal between visits, but only if it feels supportive to you. Some people find that jotting down changes helps them stay connected to their process and makes it easier to reflect during our sessions. But if it feels like a stressful burden, it’s a firm no. We’re here to create more ease, not less.


    If during treatment you experience any new or worsening symptoms that are uncomfortable or last more than three days, please reach out so we can reassess. If your message requires more in-depth review or follow-up outside of a regular session, an additional fee of $20 per 15 minutes may apply, or we may schedule a dedicated session to give your case the full attention it needs.

  • Email is best for anything related to your care. It gives us a written record and helps me easily keep track of your updates within your case file. On occasion, a quick text is fine, especially if you're running late for an appointment or need to confirm something time-sensitive. For anything related to your symptoms, progress, or remedy, please email so I can respond thoughtfully and keep your care organized.

  • Yes! Homeopathy is gentle and works alongside conventional treatments without interference. Please continue any prescribed medications as directed by your healthcare provider, and always consult them before making any changes. Keeping me informed about all your treatments helps me tailor your homeopathic care safely and effectively.

  • It’s best not to start or stop any supplements, therapies, or other treatments within a few weeks before and after beginning a new homeopathic remedy. This quiet window allows your remedy the best chance to work without interruption and helps me clearly see how it’s affecting you.

    Of course, if you have urgent medical needs or your healthcare provider recommends a change, always follow their advice first. Just please keep me informed so we can adjust your care safely and effectively together.

    I understand life is full of unexpected moments, just do your best, keep me updated, and we’ll navigate your healing journey as a team.

  • When possible, please avoid taking additional homeopathic remedies unless we’ve discussed them first. Combining remedies can complicate your case, slow the progress your main remedy is making, and make it harder to understand what’s truly benefiting you. If you feel a need for another remedy, please reach out so we can decide together the best path forward.

  • That’s okay! Life happens. Just resume your next scheduled dose when you remember. Consistent dosing helps the remedy work best, but occasional missed doses most likely will not disrupt your overall progress.

  • Healing often shows up as changes in symptoms, mood, energy, or sleep patterns. Sometimes these shifts happen quickly; other times, they’re gradual. Some symptoms may improve while others shift before settling. We’ll keep a close eye together and make adjustments if needed to support your best health.

  • It depends! Some people notice changes quickly, especially with short-term illnesses. For chronic or long-standing conditions, healing may take longer, sometimes weeks or months. Some practitioners say that for every year you've had a condition, it may take about a month of healing, and that can be a helpful general guide. But in reality, it’s highly individual and depends on your overall vitality, constitution, and the nature of the illness. The goal is deep, lasting health, not just a quick fix

  • To give your remedy the best chance to work, try to avoid eating or drinking anything except plain water for about 10–15 minutes before and after taking it. Brushing your teeth, using mouthwash, or consuming strong flavors like mint, coffee, or spicy foods near dosing time might reduce how well the remedy works.


    If you have habits like daily coffee, don’t worry, I’ll work with your routine and usually won’t ask for sudden changes unless it’s really needed.

  • Yes, generally you can continue to enjoy your usual favorites. If there’s ever a reason to adjust something for your care, I’ll discuss it with you individually.

  • Sometimes, symptoms may temporarily intensify as your body responds to the remedy. This is called a homeopathic aggravation and is actually a great sign as it often means your immune system is being gently stimulated and your body is actively healing and responding well. These changes tend to be short-lived and are typically followed by improvement.

    That said, I always aim to minimize aggravations as much as possible by carefully choosing the right potency and dosage tailored just for you.

    If symptoms worsen or new symptoms arise that are very uncomfortable or last more than three days, please let me know sooner rather than later. This is a great opportunity to send me an email, don’t wait until your next scheduled follow-up appointment. Your comfort is very important to me!

  • When I decide on a remedy for you, I also determine the dosage and frequency in an individualized way tailored specifically to your needs. I will email you detailed instructions on exactly how to take it, including any special considerations for your case. Following these personalized directions helps give your remedy the best chance to work effectively.
    If you ever have any questions or uncertainties about how to take your remedy, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me by email. I’m here to support you every step of the way!

  • When I email you your remedy recommendation, I’ll include special ordering instructions if the remedy and potency aren’t something you already have or can find locally. The pharmacies I recommend meet the highest standards and are known for their reputable quality, so you can trust you’re getting the best possible remedy.

  • Homeopathic remedies should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors. Avoid keeping them in places like bathrooms or kitchens, and be sure not to store them near strong scents like essential oils, perfumes, cleaning products, or incense. Also, please don’t leave your remedies in hot cars or other areas where they can get overheated. Proper storage helps maintain their potency and effectiveness.

  • I want you to be safe! If you experience a medical emergency, please go to urgent care, the emergency department, or call 911 immediately. Homeopathy is not a substitute for emergency medical care. For urgent concerns related to your homeopathic treatment, please contact me as soon as possible so we can address the issue promptly.

  • Yes, go ahead, I’ll take it! But let’s be honest, it’s a team effort. You showed up, your remedy did its thing, and your vital force rose to the occasion. I just helped guide the process. If your friends and family start wondering what your secret is, feel free to send them my way, I always appreciate referrals, and I’d be honored to support their healing journeys too.

Let’s keep your care moving forward. I’m here when you need me.
