20 years have gone by in a flash!
I’m not always one to celebrate, but it is a milestone and a good place to reflect with gratitude on all the years of being able to make my passion my work and to have the privilege of working with so many people on their journey to health.
I discovered homeopathy long before I started training – so I could add a few more years on to my tally! I was looking for an adult education pottery class in the 1980’s but my eye was caught by a Naturopathy and Homeopathy class. I immediatedly wanted to go, and so glad I did, I was so interested and felt like I was entering a new world, one that I’d missed out on all my life but somehow already knew about.
I became a patient, going to the Naturopath and then the Homeopath course teachers for treatment. I became more and more fascinated by homeopathy in particular and in experiencing what remedies could do. I used homeopathy in pregnancy, childbirth and for treating my children throughout their childhood when they needed it. Training to be a homeopath just felt inevitable – I wanted to know as much as possible, not just how to use homeopathy but the philosophy behind it and how the Laws of Nature govern how our bodies behave in health and in disease.
What I learned at The School of Homeopathy was that homeopathy is a study of everything – and a lifelong journey of learning! There is no subject that isn’t relevant and you can never know enough. It’s why a very good quality in a practitioner is curiosity.
I feel deep gratitude to all the people who have brought their health problems to me. Apart from forming good and caring working relationships with people, I have got to know them well, experienced their innermost thoughts and life stories, become familiar with a vast array of physical, emotional and mental symptoms and conditions… I have learned from each, unique person and it is those people who have contributed to my years of knowledge and experience.
Cheers to them! Thank you for getting me to a point where I have 20 years of experience behind me and where I have just a little bit less to learn from here on!
