Seeing a Homeopath for The First Time

Your First Visit to the Homeopath Explained

Seeing a Homeopath for the first time is a unique experience. I remember my first visit well! The consultation can take up to one and a half hours (less for children). This can be the longest anyone has spoken about their health and well-being in one session!

You’ve chosen to speak to a Homeopath because more than likely you have a health problem. This could be a physical or emotional/mental issue. I first tried Homeopathy for IBS symptoms and then went on to get help with some anxiety issues that had plagued me for years.  Homeopathy really helped both massively. It was so nice to have someone listen to me.

Seeing a Homeopath today you have a choice of a face to face with me or you can have the consult online. Either works really well and it’s up the individual’s preference.

I think of a new patient’s health as a jigsaw.

I need to see all the pieces of the jigsaw laid out so I can see what picture it forms. The more pieces of information relating to you that I can get, the clearer the picture will be in what I need to give in your Homeopathic prescription.

I will want to know all about your current issue – in minute detail, but I also want to know about your general health as well. How is your digestion or skin for example?

I call it the top to toe talk. By working through the whole body from your hair and scalp, all the way down to your toes, I get a background into your individual physical health picture.  But it’s not just about the physical health. I want to know what it is like to be you. What are you affected by? – cold, heat, damp? What makes you feel better or what aggravates your issue? These are vital snippets of information that finetune the final analysis of your health from a Homeopathic perspective.

I also explore a timeline of your health and wellbeing from a young age up to present day. I even want to know the general health conditions of your parents/grandparents and siblings too. This allows to me to see if there are any health conditions that run in the family, another vital piece of the jigsaw.

Your personality is another piece of the puzzle. I am interested in things like what your hobbies are, what makes you happy, angry or sad? What stresses you? Your relationships. Any phobias, your sleep patterns. Any major life events.  All this information helps create the overall picture of you as a person.

We are lucky as Homeopaths that we have so many Homeopathic remedies at our disposal (at the moment it’s 4000+!) This vast resource allows me to be tailor the choice of remedies to you alone. One size does not fit all in Homeopathy.

 I listen to what you have to say. All of what you say is relevant to me. I’m not here to judge, but to help you feel better in yourself.

My background training of 25 years + gives me insight in nutrition, life coaching and lifestyle and hair mineral analysis, so I will be making suggestions to help you improve your health in all areas of your life. I am a qualified aromatherapist as well as being a Flower essence practitioner, so I can also suggest using these as a support. The prescription I choose for you can be just one remedy or a selection of remedies to be taken over the following month. I am classically trained but I also practice therapeutically which means I can give you combinations as well as just one remedy on it’s own.

I tend to use the little white pills as shown above but it can be in liquid form. Homeopathy can be used alongside traditional medication.

I like to see you 4-6 weeks after your first appointment for a follow up so we can discuss how you are doing. This gives me a chance to tweak your remedies to continue your health improvement. I don’t know how many appointments you will need. It depends on the severity of the original issue and how long you have been suffering with it. We can talk about this during your consultation.

The cost of the consultation includes the Homeopathic remedies issued at the time. All other products suggested are an additional charge.

I offer a free discovery call if you would like any more information. Please feel free to book one through my website here so we can see if we can work together to improve your health and get you back on the road to the best version of you.
