It was almost 13 years ago when my two young boys presented recurrent pulmonary infections that needed frequent hospitalisations. The treatments prescribed (antibiotics, steroids and more antibiotics) failed us everytime and my children could not overcome a rather debilitating cough with asthmatic aspects and breathing difficulties. I almost lost my youngest son to a complication post prescription (steroid-based inhaler) when he was 3 years old. The prospect of not being able to help my children was soon hovering over our family. I could not accept that they would be facing such sensibilities and repeat prescriptions and trips to hospital anymore. I just had to find another way out and settle this once and for all. And, boy did I!
I was sitting despondently in the waiting area in a hospital, waiting for the paediatrician to discuss my sons’ repeat prescription and to hear for the thousandth time the same story. That was the moment when perhaps I was ready to learn more, as the opportunity presented itself without delay. I met a wonderful doctor/mother that was going to change the rest of our lives forever. What followed in a mere 30 minute conversation was meant to show me the way not only to complete recovery of my children, but to a mind-blowing discovery of the true and remarkable strength and innate ability of the human body towards healing. I was recommended to look into Homeopathy for my children, as it addresses the very root cause of problem. In less than 6 month I have managed to strengthen my children’s immune systems and create an appropriate and natural environment for any healing to take place. They no longer caught colds at the change of seasons, they were stronger than ever. Good bye to saying “no” to ice-cream for my children!
I was so delighted to discover this completely natural and side effect-free system of medicine that I decided to incorporate in our family health system. Gradually I learned about first-aid remedies and their simple and effective applications. It was at least astounding to see acute troubling symptoms going away in minutes or hours, without the need to use antibiotics or other medication riddled with unforgiving side-effects.
However, my story with homeopathy was about to get deeper and deeper for reasons that were utterly heart-shuttering: my youngest son was diagnosed with Autism at the age of 4. Completely new to the idea of what autism really was, I started researching into it and soon enough my efforts paid off rather generously. I have discovered that Homeopathy can rebalance beautifully my son by treating him holistically (mentally, emotionally and physically). When we started at the time, my son was non-verbal (very limited labelling), still needing his nappies and had major sleep disturbances (trying to maintain it with Dr’s prescribed Melatonin solution), behavioural challenges, self-regulation impairment, to name just a few. In just a few years we were looking a different child, now fully verbal, physically enabled to feed himself, to change himself and function at a higher level. Currently, he still needs guidance and supervision in certain activities and while out in the community, however, the quest for complete health continues.
My passion for healing and continued quest for understanding the human body lead to me becoming a homeopath myself. I have realised that my calling was there all along and was waiting for me to step into its undeniable magic. Four astounding years of study into Homeopathy alongside the best homeopathy lecturers in the U.K. I have been blessed with their wisdom and guidance, and today I am able to pass along this wonderful privilege of having Homeopathy in our lives. This was not a career change but a mind-altering life-augmenting decision. I have learned that the process of healing is a process that requires an unparalleled devotion towards helping someone else finding their inner strength via awareness. I am a devoted mother and healer and it is my life’s greatest achievement to be able to sit in a position of strength while helping others as well.
Come along and join me in your quest for a gentle healing and a better life. For health is wealth!
