About Me

I am a Classical Homoeopath, trained at the Sydney College of Homoeopathy. I graduated with a Diploma of Homoeopathic Medicine in 1995. I was taught by a number of excellent Australian Homoeopaths. I was given a good grounding in the mechanics of repertory and materia medica, while being exposed to the more creative and progressive elements of Homoeopathy. Having been given a firm foundation to rely upon, I have been able to explore various case-taking and diagnostic/prescribing methods with a critical eye, assessing what stays true to our principles and what does not. I have worked almost continuously as a Homoeopath for the last 25 years.

My History

My early working years were spent as an Australian Customs Officer. I had no particular interest in working in health until I received a series of Hepatitis B vaccinations. I began to suffer from extreme chronic illness very soon after. I was referred by a friend to a Homoeopath he worked with, and I had no idea what Homoeopathy was. This first experience was very positive - she devoted a great deal of time to listening to what was happening to me, and asked many strange questions! I was fascinated by the process. What's more, after being chronically ill for so long with little help (or sympathy)from orthodox medicine, I began to see a remarkable shift in my symptoms. This all seem to come about from her understanding of how my disease was affecting my thoughts and emotions. I was so interested I kept pestering her with questions, until she finally said to me 'Have you thought about studying Homoeopathy?'. Needless to say I jumped at the suggestion.

I have managed to continue working as a Homoeopath for most of my adult life. Homoeopathy is a notoriously difficult profession to pursue and despite graduating many people are unable to maintain a practice. Homoeopaths face a high level of opposition from orthodox medical practitioners and from pharmaceutical companies who tend to define what modern medicine is today. This societal pressure combined with the technical difficulty of Homoeopathy means many fail and we are always underrepresented in the community.

Apart from clinical practice, I have been a lecturer in Homoeopathy at the Australian College of Natural Medicine (now called Endeavour) and the Tennessee College of Homoeopathy. I run online training and mentoring for practitioners. I have also worked for community-based organizations providing counseling, mediation and support for victims of domestic violence.
