More About My Story
Following a years-long health challenge that spiraled out of control, I was left confused and afraid. I developed medical anxiety and was ashamed of my condition. I didn’t (yet) realize that my “disease” was actually a set of symptoms asking for support to heal– not something I did wrong or should suppress and make go away.
Over the next 7 years, I forged ahead with invasive diagnostics, more drugs, surgeries, and lots of frustrating medical visits that solved absolutely nothing. No answers, no relief – just worsening health.
Next came medical judgment: “You’re depressed. You’re crazy. You’re taking too much of my clinic time.” But losing any hope of ever feeling well again was the worst side-effect, in my experience, despite access to the best medicine I could find.
Then, after knocking on every door that I thought might help me, I began to study homeopathy in a casual Sunday night study group. “Just a hobby,” I thought. I was, admittedly, 100% skeptical to try one more thing for fear of disappointment. But, little sugar pills dissolved under your tongue? Really? It seemed laughable…until I started using homeopathic remedies.
The amazing improvement I experienced drove me to continue using it, then to curiosity about how it all worked, and finally I decided to pursue a formal practice of homeopathy. I simply couldn’t deny how my body was changing and healing. Slowly, over the course of 2 years, I was able to stop taking medications. This wasn’t just random luck — I consider it my medical miracle.
Because of my ongoing chronic issues, it took a few months to movement and improvement. Some things resolved quickly (within days); other issues are still unwinding, but with great relief, more energy, hopefulness, and overall resilience, I have found joy again. I’m active and can function normally. I no longer have anxiety about my health or the “What if’s?”
I have learned to work with my body, not against it. This required my listening, reporting, and making honest assessments about my path to wellness. But, the journey has been amazing! I fully respect your healing crisis may look very different than mine did, and therefore your path to wellness will have its own timeline. My testimonial is intended to serve as a reference point.
The emotional isolation and life-altering dynamic of illness is so challenging for many, but I found a way forward and hope you will, too. I am honored to work holistically using a long-standing and effective practice: homeopathy.
“The introduction of homeopathy forced the old school doctor to stir around and learn something of a rational nature about his business. You may honestly feel grateful that homeopathy survived the attempts of allopaths to destroy it.”
