As a child I was often sick with coughs and infections and was routinely prescribed antibiotics. When I was 14 I contracted tuberculosis and this led to a 9 month course of strong antibiotics. Afterwards, I struggled with digestive problems, a low immunity and hormonal imbalance. I felt trapped in a vicious cycle of illness and taking medication with harmful side effects.

My first encounter with homeopathy was in my twenties when I decided to try a holistic approach to address my PCOS diagnosis and frequent bouts of illness and depression. After years of trying conventional treatments and experiencing declining health, I was amazed by the results homeopathy produced. Starting from the point of my first consultation, I felt truly seen and heard as a ‘whole person’ in a way I had never experienced before in a medical setting. Then, over a course of a few months of taking the remedies, I saw remarkable changes in myself – they had an uplifting effect on my mood, I felt mentally alert and energised, my PCOS tests came back clear and I didn’t have any respiratory illness for months. I had never experienced such holistic results from any medication I’d taken before.

The improvement after taking the remedies was undeniable and could be felt physically, mentally and emotionally. I became more resilient than ever before and all other aspects of my life benefitted from this newfound vitality.

Shortly afterwards I moved to the UK where I began to experience hay fever symptoms and food related allergies and skin eruptions. I went to my GP and was prescribed antihistamines which created brain fog and fatigue even though they were of the non-drowsy variety. I lived with these debilitating symptoms for a few years till I found a local homeopath after the birth of my son. Not only did it swiftly resolve my physical ailments, it also freed me from damaging psychological patterns that I’d been struggling with for years. This was such a relief and life changing shift for me. I was starting to understand why they’re called Magic Pills !
