I have always been interested in health and the mind, having obtained a BA (hons) in Biology and Psychology. My first work in health was as a mental health nurse. I soon became quite disturbed by the side-effects of the mind-influenzing drugs. Also to me it seemed that a mental breakdown was brought about by traumas and spiritual awakening rather than through a chemical imbalance.
After having done yoga for several years I took the yoga teaching training course not so much to teach but to learn about the philosophy of yoga as a guide to spiritual growth. However I was encouraged to teach yoga to people with mental health problems and found that they very much benefitted from yoga, to the extent that they could reduce their medication.
A friend gave me the Organon (bible of homeopathy) in which I read how well homeopathy can treat the mind without side-effects. I enthusiastically started the 4-year training course in homeopathy. After qualified and treating people homeopathy still continues to excite me.
Another friend encouraged me to read ‘Full catastrophe Living’ by Jon Kabat-Zinn, who developed Mindful-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) therapy which inspired me to set up a stress mangement course based on yoga, breathing, relaxation and meditation. This last discipline I acquired through attending Buddhist retreats and personal practice. The combination of homeopathy, yoga and Mindful Based Stress Reduction therapy is a very powerful tool to reduce stress, anxiety, depression, pain, etc.
I am interested in physical, mental and spiritual well being, encouraging people to become again human beings rather than human doings. The combination of homeopathy, yoga and Mindful Based Stress Reduction therapy is a very powerful tool to reduce stress, anxiety, depression, and pain.
