Having spent 15 years working in the travel industry, both in the UK and overseas, I experienced the fast pace, excitement and inevitable stress that comes with this type of career.  I suspect this lifestyle contributed to my developing IBS, a condition which can be life limiting.

 

After many years of discomfort I decided to try homeopathy.  After only one homeopathic treatment, my symptoms were substantially improved.  Further visits to the homeopath resulted in a continued improvement and I slowly regained my health.  I was surprised and delighted and wanted to know more about this amazing system of healing.
 
This set me on a path of learning which culminated in gaining a license to practice from the South Downs School of Homeopathy in Chichester.

 

For my final year dissertation I produced a guide on the homeopathic treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease.  Having thoroughly researched this subject I now have a special interest in treating digestive diseases. Additionally, I enjoy treating children and they generally respond very well to homeopathic remedies.

 

My approach is friendly, sympathetic and down to earth. I encourage my patients to take an active role in their healthcare by offering advice on diet and lifestyle where appropriate.  I share my knowledge of homeopathic remedies and encourage their use at home. I also run short courses on using homeopathy for common children's complaints and in first aid situations.

 

I passionately believe in homeopathy as an alternative system of healing, but at the same time recognise that some people prefer to use homeopathy to complement conventional treatment.

 

I help co-ordinate the Arnica Parent’s Support Network in Brighton & Hove, which is a non-profit making, parent-led, national support network, promoting health and natural immunity. More details can be found on their website, www.arnica.org.uk.

 

I am a member of the Society of Homeopaths – the largest professional registering body in the UK, and Europe. This is your guarantee of a trained, registered, insured healthcare professional. The Society’s register and strict code of ethics and practice can be accessed on their website, www.homeopathy-soh.org.

 

Originally from the north of England I moved to Hove in 1995 and immediately felt it was a place I could settle. I got married and now live in West Hove with my husband, 7 year old son, and a very noisy cat called Tabitha.

 

Apart from homeopathy, my other passion is tennis. What I lack in ability I make up for in committment and enthusiasm, and play mostly outdoors, whatever the weather!
