ABOUT ME

I received my qualification from the University of Johannesburg, after completing 5 years of medico-scientific study required for registration with the Allied Health Professions Council of South Africa. This allows homoeopaths rights similar to those of medical practitioners and homoeopathy is therefore recognised as a primary contact profession in South Africa.

In my 6th year, I chose to research the homoeopathic treatment of irritable bowel syndrome in women. During the development of this dissertation, I worked as an intern at the University’s homoeopathic clinic as well as out-reach clinics in Soweto & Ennerdale. I also had the privilege of attending a seminar at Dr. George Vithoulkas' School of Classical Homoeopathy in Greece.

My experiences enhanced my resolve to focus my practice of homoeopathy on strengthening the therapeutic relationship between homoeopath & patient, appreciating the opportunity to empower patients & helping them to create a self-awareness & sense of responsibility for their own health & well-being. I value that homoeopathy allows me to explore individualised treatment options and am honoured to be given the chance to facilitate & nurture the body’s innate healing process. I have a keen interest in health and the prevention of disease through promotion of a healthy lifestyle.

I recently opened a homoeopathic practice in Knysna & manage the Tonquani Health & Vitality Studio, a holistically orientated Spa offering Health Retreats focussed on detoxification and maintaining or regaining health.

ESSENCE OF HOMOEOPATHY


Homoeopathy was founded by Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), a doctor & chemist. The word ‘homoeopathy’ is derived from the two Greek words ‘homeo’, meaning similar, and ‘pathos’, which means suffering. It is a system of medicine which applies the principle of ‘like cures like’. This alludes to the fact that in practice, a remedy that can produce certain effects on a healthy individual can cure those similar effects when they are recognised as symptoms of an ill person.

Homoeopathy offers a holistic & individualised approach to preserving health & preventing disease. Homoeopathic medicine stimulates the body’s innate defences so that the natural process of healing can take place.
