18 years ago… absolutely bonkers 🤯

I can still remember walking through the doors of the Irish School of Homeopathy for the very first time. I had no idea then where homeopathy would take me, the people it would bring into my life or just how much a part of me it would become.

And somehow… that was 18 YEARS AGO! How is that even possible? 😂

I absolutely loved every minute of my 4 years at the Irish School of Homeopathy. The learning, the friendships, the laughs and probably a fair amount of wondering what on earth I had got myself into!

This week I’ve spoken to two clients who are about to start their own professional training journey in homeopathy and it really made me stop and think about mine.

I feel incredibly lucky to do a job that I am still genuinely passionate about all these years later. I’m grateful for homeopathy and everything it has brought into my life, but most of all I’m grateful for the people.

My clients who trust me with their stories, their families and their journeys. The friends I’ve made along the way. The people I studied beside Class 2012 and all the wonderful homeopaths I’ve met over the years.

There’s something quite special about looking back at that old me walking into college 18 years ago and knowing she had absolutely no idea where this journey was going to take her. It changed my life in so many ways. I do remember Gerry Murphy the Director of the school telling us that on the first day but I'd didn't get it until much later.

And I’m still learning. Still fascinated. Still passionate about it. Feeling very lucky and very grateful for this world of homeopathy and all the people in it.

Best of luck to all the new graduates this year and all of those currently studying and those about to start 🙏❤️

A gentle reminder that you really don't need a remedy for everything!

For those of you who like to home prescribe for acutes and especially busy mums it’s so easy to fall into the habit of reaching for a remedy every time something feels off. We care deeply. We want to do something. We want to help our children feel better, quickly. And because we’ve seen homeopathy work, we trust it… sometimes so much that we feel we should be giving a remedy for every bump, sneeze, tantrum, or bad day!

But here’s the truth: not every moment needs a remedy.
Sometimes, what our children (and us too!) really need is rest. A cuddle. A walk in nature. A nap. A drink of water. A moment of connection. Just time and space to recalibrate.

Homeopathy is not a supplement. It’s not something to give “just in case.” It’s energetic medicine precise, powerful and meant to match a very specific state of imbalance. It’s not about doing more. It’s about observing carefully, listening deeply and knowing when not to step in.

Some symptoms are just the body doing its job. Processing. Adjusting. Responding to the world.

And yes, there are moments when the right remedy makes all the difference. You’ll know them. You’ll feel them. That’s when homeopathy truly shines when it’s needed.

So to all the thoughtful, loving, slightly anxious mums out there you’re not missing anything if you don’t give a remedy. Sometimes just being there is the most healing thing you can do.

Trust your instincts. Trust your child. Trust the process 🙏

Just got off a first follow-up call with a client and had to share.

She was on Calc Carb LM1 daily for 3–4 weeks and then stopped because she felt she didn't need it anymore. An intuitive lady!

Today she said:
"I'm still feeling the benefits of it."

At her first consultation, she talked about worrying and what people think. She feared being judged, criticised and seen. She spoke about never feeling quite good enough.

She described herself as a perfectionist and said:
"What sums me up is failure to launch."

She would get close to putting herself out there and then pull back.

Today she shared a subtle epiphany:
"I've realised in the last few weeks that it's okay for people NOT to like me."

She felt she'd finally given herself permission to let go.

Then she said:
"The more loose and playful me has come back. It's creeping back. I'm having fun."

She also said she is not as "clammed up".

Before the remedy, she was becoming more isolated and closed.

She described herself as overthinking everything and wanting to get out of her head and into her heart.

Now she's able to cry, process emotions in real time and feels a deep shift in the way she sees things.

She was shocked when I told her of something she'd said at her first consultation.

At the end of every first consultation, I ask:
"When we are speaking again in 8 weeks, what would you like to have shifted?"

Her answer was:
"To loosen up. To take things less seriously. To trust myself to show up as myself and to have fun doing it."

Today she described exactly that.

At this time, I haven't prescribed anything further. I've simply asked her to keep the remedy on hand and reintroduce it if any of the old patterns start creeping back in.

We'll catch up again in a couple of months.

The right remedy ignites a person's capacity to heal and the rest unfolds from there. That's Homeopathy!

Sharing this with permission from one of the amazing mum's I meet every day 🤍

I know how vulnerable it can feel to share such a personal journey publicly, especially when it comes to your child, so I’m incredibly grateful to this family for trusting me enough to share their experience.

One of the most important things I’ve learned over the years is that healing often takes time, patience and consistency. Sometimes the changes happen so gradually that families don’t even realise how far they’ve come until they stop and look back.

Stories like this are why I love what I do 🤍

Your Body Speaks your Mind and it’s not always subtle!

It’s something I say in consults all the time. Our bodies hold onto what the mind can’t process, won’t face or doesn’t know how to express.

Here’s an example:

When someone tells me they’re constipated, I’ll often ask — are you holding your s**t in?

Sometimes I say it more politely…

sometimes not but I do usually get a giggle 🤭

But a question like that? It usually lands.

Because the vital force is often trying to show us where we’re stuck.

This is exactly the kind of thing Deb Shapiro explores in her book

📚 Your Body Speaks Your Mind

It is a brilliant read if you’re curious about the emotional meaning behind symptoms.

A few favourites from the book:

“Every symptom is a message from your body, inviting you to look within.”

“The body becomes a battlefield when it is forced to express what the mind ignores.”

Examples she gives and I see in practice all the time:

💬 Constipation — fear of letting go

💬 Back pain — feeling unsupported

💬 Throat issues — not speaking your truth

💬 Skin conditions — feeling too exposed

💬 Digestive issues — can’t "digest" life

Here’s the thing:

Most people can’t see these patterns on their own.

You’re in it. You’re living it!

It’s like trying to read the label from inside the jar.

That’s why consults matter.

Homeopathy isn’t just about symptoms it’s about your whole story and where it all started from!

I am listening for patterns, language, timing, energy… the thread that ties it all together to find that indicated remedy!

✨ Have you ever had a moment in a consultation with a Homeopath and during or after it something clicked?

Where the emotional link behind a symptom became clear?

Or a homeopath asked a question that made you go — “Ohhh… that’s it.”

If you feel up for sharing, I’d love to hear 🙏

🎉 HOMEOPATHY AWARENESS WEEK 🎉

🎂 Celebrating the birthday of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755–1843)

And this needs to be said loudly…

🚫 NO.
🚫 NO.
🚫 NO.

“I ate junk food…”

“I had wine…”

“I ate too much sugar…”

“We had takeaway…”

“My child ate dirt…”

“I took medication…”

“I NEED TO DETOX.”

NO!

That’s not homeopathy.

Homeopathy is not about reacting to everything that goes in.

It’s about understanding what the body is expressing out.

Are there SYMPTOMS?

Is the person actually unwell?

👉 Yes — prescribe.

👉 No — leave it alone.

Sometimes the body doesn’t need interference…

Remember when we used to say

"A little dirt never hurt anyone"

"Everything in moderation"

This week especially, let’s honour homeopathy properly 🙏

Use it as it was intended individualised, thoughtful and respectful.

Happy Birthday Dr Hahnemann and thank you for giving us this incredible system of medicine 230 years ago 🙏
