Homeopathy for babies, children and families

Homeopathy is a wonderful way to help bring your baby or child back into balance following illness, or for helping with acute (short duration) or chronic (long term or lingering) conditions. I have treated many hundreds of children for both acute and chronic conditions.

Children - initially my own - are the reason I became a homeopath, so it is unsurprising really that they are at the very heart of what I do. I absolutely love working with babies and children (and with their parents, obviously). My experience is that infants and children tend to respond very quickly and very well to both homeopathic remedies and dietary changes. Parents are frequently astounded at the difference in their children in a relatively short space of time; this is incredibly rewarding and wonderful to see.

I have noticed over time that by treating the mother (or other main caregiver) as well as the child/children, the action of the remedies is far more powerful. This is particularly relevant with breastfeeding mothers (I generally treat both mother and baby at the same time in this situation), but equally applies to older children; the relationship between all family members is enhanced considerably if they are all receiving homeopathic treatment. The whole family benefits and can move forward together in health and happiness.

A big part of my work also involves empowering parents to be able to confidently use a remedy kit to help with managing minor ailments and non-urgent conditions at home. I run small group workshops in my own and other people's homes - do please contact me if you would be interested in attending one.
