My journey toward homeopathy began over 13 years ago, when I found myself struggling with persistent gastrointestinal issues, including bloating, intestinal discomfort, and weight loss after a trip to Thailand. Despite seeing multiple specialists and enduring countless tests, I was eventually diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease, and later, diverticulitis. As I navigated my health challenges, I sought alternatives to prescription medications, trying everything from acupuncture and yoga to diet plans and naturopathy. Yet, it wasn’t until I encountered homeopathy that I found lasting relief. My healing journey, marked by trial and error, eventually led me to a skilled homeopath trained in Hahnemann’s principles, who guided me toward a natural, holistic path.

Homeopathy helped me regain my health in a way that conventional medicine never could. The journey, while long and difficult, transformed me both physically and emotionally. Today, I no longer rely on prescription drugs and have embraced natural healing modalities, including homeopathy, as a central part of my wellness. Through my personal healing story, I discovered a passion for homeopathy and have decided to pursue it as a career. I’m excited to support others in their own journeys to better health.
