Homeopathy is a holistic medicine
As a homeopath, I look at the bigger picture by taking a holistic approach to all cases. The illnesses we had as a child and symptoms that we have today make up the bigger picture of who we are. Our habits, diet, family and friends all make us who we are as much as our DNA and gender. Our hopes, our dreams and daily pleasures or annoyances tell us who we are. It’s only by using a holistic medicine, which homeopathy is, that we are able to address the vital energy of an individual and help them to get better.
I work with clients to improve their general health. I’m not a doctor using allopathic medicine, I’m a professional homeopath, I do not diagnose nor treat conditions - I treat the whole person. I’m guided by the personality, symptoms and energy of the person to finding the homeopathic remedy that will stimulate their own self-healing. Over the weeks and months of treatment, together we assess and adjust the frequency and potency of the homeopathic remedy that works best for them.
As a client, you may come for treatment for a named condition with the intention to alleviate the symptoms that you experience. Such as some of the following
- Migraines, tension headaches & menstrual related headaches.
- Skin conditions-eczema, psoriasis, acne etc.
- Fertility & sub fertility in men and women.

- Post-viral fatigue, shingles, ME, glandular fever.

- Urinary Tract- cystitis, thrush, kidney disorders.
- Over sensitive immune response to substances - hay fever & other allergens.

- Autoimmune disorders- rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid imbalances.
- Chest and respiratory conditions.
- Low immunity- recurrent colds and infections.
- Hormonal imbalances- menstrual problems, PMT, PCOS.
- Menopausal symptoms.
- Childhood illnesses.
- Sleep problems & bed-wetting.
- Communication & behavioural disorders- Dyslexia, ADD, ADHD, autism & Asperger Syndrome.
I’ve not tried homeopathy before, how do I know that it will help me?
Here are a few words from some of my clients to give you a flavour of what to expect from homeopathic treatment.
"I made an appointment with Elizabeth after finding conventional treatments weren't helping with a skin complaint. I was very impressed to find that homeopathy treats the whole person, including your mental and emotional wellbeing, rather than just treating physical symptoms. Elizabeth is a great listener and after our meeting I felt really energised. My course of treatment led to a noticeable improvement in my symptoms and I would recommend homeopathy to anyone who is looking for a whole person approach to health."
Laura had acne rosacea for several years before coming for homeopathic treatment.
"I started to use homeopathic remedies two years ago. From the beginning they
were very effective. They improved the quality of my life, both mentally and
physically. I am now six months pregnant and I moved to Edinburgh just a month
ago.
"As soon as I arrived here I looked for a homeopath and found Elizabeth.
Since then, she has helped me to take care of the baby and myself during the
pregnancy. She also gave me the emotional support that I needed to face a new
city and life in this fragile moment of my life. I really like her approach and
her solutions proved effective. The homeopathic consultation is a time where
you are able to open your self and share your concerns, the remedy prescribed
at the end is an answer to the needs of your body that is both holistic and complete."
Anna has recently given birth to a healthy daughter at home. During the birth and afterwards, she used the Homeopathic Childbirth Kit.
"Thank you, thank you. She’s now sleeping through the night, every night, what a difference. Is it normal for the homeopathic remedy to work so quickly? My husband and I are amazed at the results from a few small pills."
Rosie & Alan are very pleased parents of a 2-year-old girl who had sleep problems. Their health visitor recommended seeing a professional homeopath.
“I started visiting Elizabeth on the run up to my first attempt of IVF. Having
been told there was nothing wrong with either my husband or myself, I wanted
to try an alternative and hopefully fall pregnant naturally. Elizabeth gave me
a couple of remedies to try. Although I could feel my body changing, we ran out
of time before my IVF treatment began.
"Elizabeth was has been able to support me trough the whole roller coaster
of IVF, supplying me with remedies to keep me calm and focused, most importantly
to help me pick up the pieces and carry on after our disappointment of it not
working.
"Homeopathy has helped my body to get back on track quickly after the treatment
and has improved my menstrual cycle immensely. We are now on our second attempt,
this time frozen embryo transfer. My anxiety has almost left me, I feel I have
the ability to face the treatment head on. Elizabeth has provided incredible
support throughout and her encouragement has been invaluable."
Jane’s first IVF attempt produced 16 eggs – 14 of which became embryos, only 1 was used in each attempt. Sadly both attempts at IVF did not result in a pregnancy. Jane is currently trying the Homeopathic Fertility Programme for a few months to improve her endometrium – the lining of the uterus - before embarking on another cycle of IVF.
I’ve used real life testimonials from people that came to homeopathy without any expectations, just to give it a try. They all found that it worked for them, even when other trusted forms of medicine had failed. I could have included only glowing testimonials, as a PR exercise for my practice - that would have been false. We all know real life to have more ups and downs, I wanted to convey that homeopathy isn’t about success and failure, it’s about helping us through life. Homeopathy enables us to be who we are without too much interference. A remedy gently stimulates us to being ourselves in the best possible health.
Everyone who has constitutional homeopathic treatment should benefit from their treatment. Homeopathy worked for me is a website dedicated to those that homeopathy has helped.
Where can I get a balanced opinion on health issues?
Often who we get our information from comes with the bias of the practitioners themselves. To get the best service from any healthcare system we need to be active partners in our own health. Finding out as much as possible about our health issues enables us to make informed decisions and take charge of our own healing. The following websites provide facts and evidence from various sources, this combined with the mainstream information available from other mediums gives us a holistic overview of health issues.
