Fiona first became interested in homeopathy when her son was successfully treated for eczema. This prompted her to find out more about homeopathy before training professionally at the School of Homeopathy in Devon, graduating in 1999.

Fiona's long experience has confirmed the necessity of balance between the mental, physical and emotional aspects of our personalities in maintaining good health. By working with patients on all three levels, Fiona is able to prescribe homeopathic remedies which are appropriate to individual patients at a specific point in time, helping their bodies to re-establish equilibrium and restore health.

Fiona has patients of all ages, from expectant mothers and young infants, to teenagers and people in their eighties. She has treated conditions ranging from colic to gall stones, from acne to menopausal symptoms, from depression to the side-effects of chemotherapy.

Homeopathy is a complete system of medicine that has been used for nearly two hundred years, based on the principle of similars or like curing like. Homeopathy can help people with all kinds of physical, mental and emotional problems.

Homeopathy understands that the human body is a highly evolved, intelligent system and that symptoms of illness are evidence of the body's natural efforts to protect and heal itself. The homeopath is guided by these symptoms when selecting an appropriate remedy to help stimulate the body's own self-healing powers.

Homeopathy embraces a holistic approach to health and offers an opportunity not only to relieve symptoms, but also to increase the patient's overall level of health and well-being.

Remedies are derived from a variety of natural substances which are repeatedly diluted in a specific way until the crude substance is refined to a highly dynamic state. Experience has shown that such potentised substances have the potential to influence the body's systems in a powerful and effective way.

It is the body's energy which is influenced rather than its chemical balance, so homeopathic remedies have no side effects. Nevertheless experience has shown that well selected remedies are capable of stimulating the body's reactive forces powerfully and high potency remedies should be treated with respect.

Homeopathic remedies can be safely used during pregnancy and breast-feeding or alongside any drugs prescribed by your own G.P.

The first consultation usually takes up to an hour and a half and the homeopath will want to know all about your condition. She will also want to explore other areas such as your likes and dislikes, things that bother or upset you and the events in your life that have made you the person you are today. All this contributes to selecting the remedy which is right for you.
