Acute (single onset) and chronic (repeated onset) express their symptoms in different ways. Acute symptoms come on suddenly and sometimes surprisingly—fevers, a panic attack, a sprain. Chronic symptoms, on the other hand, resurface on the regular—migraines, menstrual cramps, weight gain, diabetes, thyroid disorders, etc.

Note—symptoms don’t always fall cleanly into these two camps (there can sometimes be an acute exacerbation of an underlying chronic condition).

Homeopathy is just as much about listening to your body as it is treating it—chronic conditions resurface for a reason, and those reasons are rarely simple. They require more time, more questions, and more attention to more details—all so you can have more relief, freedom, and vitality.

In homeopathic consultations we talk all about the health issues that are troubling you. Together we review your symptoms with precision from the top of your head to the tips of your toes and everything in between. Your body is talking and we need to listen - sensations, mental thoughts and feelings, times when symptoms occur, how climate and foods affect you, your typical responses to situations and environments, major life events and your response to them, your likes and dislikes.

You will experience a one on one interaction like you have never experienced before because you are you, a whole, individual being whose symptoms can distinguish you from all others suffering the same ailment.

The difference is not only in the tools and remedies, but also in the perspective, history, and holistic approach.

Most of today’s traditional medical providers have been trained to quickly alleviate a symptom—not address its root cause. They are typically influenced by outside sources—insurance criteria, pharmaceutical reps, busy schedules, and even the patients themselves. While there are definitely doctors and practitioners who go beyond what the insurance companies would call the “standard of care,” many doctors have to see more patients than they can reasonably handle to facilitate the high overhead and risk associated with the healthcare industry today—making each appointment shorter and shorter (and waiting rooms busier and busier).

Homeopathic practitioners are influenced by internal sources—patient symptoms, energy levels, intuitive answers, and more. Everything we do is designed to find and confirm the root of the issue. It starts with a 45-minute consultation (minimum for acute sessions; up to 90-minute for chronic consultations) and ends with an accurate treatment plan that includes natural remedies, lifestyle modification, sun exposure, and more.

These treatments may feel a little strange at first—but no more strange than purposefully ingesting a chemical that upsets your stomach, harms your liver, and makes you groggy—just so your head hurts less.

This will depend entirely upon your symptoms and how you’ve been managing them (and for how long).

Homeopathic healing is a journey—and one that is very different from (and more long-term!) than symptom suppression. The goal is to not only understand how healthy you are meant to feel but also understand all the ways your body “talks” to you—even if they are uncomfortable.

In homeopathic practice, you can expect to see and feel changes in how your body reacts and behaves. There may be times things may seem and feel worse before they get better. Every reaction and symptom gives us more to go on for a better and more complete picture of your health now—and what it’s meant to be.

Most insurance companies do not cover homeopathic care—yet.

I always encourage my patients to keep a well-balanced care team at their fingertips. There may be times when we integrate traditional medicine and non-traditional healing modalities (herbal remedies, etc.) alongside homeopathic healing.

Our work together will include raising awareness and confidence in articulating your symptoms, so that you can receive the best care from everyone on your team.

There are many wonderful homeopathic practitioners in Naples, Florida, and throughout the country. Each of us brings something wholly unique to our practice, making it essential to schedule an initial consultation to ensure alignment in approach, chemistry, and personality.

My experience as a registered pharmacist makes me uniquely qualified as a homeopathic practitioner because I understand better than most the traditional reliance upon—and horrible side effects of—pharmaceuticals. I work especially well with patients who are wrestling with and weaning off an assortment of medications—and those who want a (far) more holistic, natural, and gentle approach to their health.

I’ve merged my medical vocabulary with the language of disease—symptoms—to be able to ask better questions of my patients, and in turn, provide them with better, faster care.

Three things: Be honest, be patient, and become increasingly self-aware of both your mental and physical health symptoms.

While your ability to honestly communicate your symptoms and needs is critical to our partnership and your overall health, patience is probably the most important factor in determining your success. A long, smooth road to good health isn’t repaired with quick fixes. To choose homeopathy is to choose patience—remember, we’re not just alleviating a symptom, we’re addressing a problem. The longer it’s been hidden or suppressed, the longer it will take to heal.

Also keep in mind that we’re often trying to hit a moving target when it comes to our health. Sometimes remedies need to be adjusted or changed due to a change of circumstance or the surfacing of another, more aggravated symptom. Over time, however, your holistic health will improve—and in more ways than you imagined.

While my homeopathy practice is in Naples, Florida, all appointments will be hosted virtually.

Acute sessions typically last between 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the presenting symptoms and their severity.

Chronic sessions last about 90 minutes on average and may sometimes extend into multiple sessions, depending on the case.

Rest assured, every minute of each call is focused on you and your healing journey.

Each session is intentional, and involves a lot of questions that go beyond your physical symptoms—you’d be surprised what manifests itself as an illness! This amount of time and every question is intentional—when you are ill or “off,” your body is trying to tell us something. It’s our job to find out exactly what.
