Our Children are the Future

In 2001 I opened The Children’s Ear Clinic in Western Australia and spent the next seven years seeing primarily children under six. What I saw a lot of obviously were kids with ear problems, asthma, some allergies and very occasionally anxiety. At that time, with a small child in childcare myself, I can safely say…

Homeopathy for Pregnancy

Homeopathy is a great modality to support you during pregnancy and while we’re certainly not suggesting it take the place of care from your medical professionals, it can be really useful for those niggly little things that may cause discomfort during these times.

Homeopathy for the Ears

Ears have been an interest of mine since setting up and running The Children’s Ear Clinic in Western Australia in 2000. Here we helped little children right through to adults, with all manner of ear issues, often with the blessing of their ENT specialists. Of course I still help parents manage ear problems, but now…

What dose & how often?

I often get calls from people asking about the dose for remedies. In some cases this is about the size of the dose – how many drops or pilules – and in others, frequency of dose – how often – so I’m going to cover both of these questions here. Homeopathy is about the quality…
