Heart-warming news from patients: pregnant after long standing infertility

By

Homeopathy success after infertility and recurrent miscarriages I decided to write this blog to assist those trying to conceive.  The last few years have been a journey of discovery for me, and I now understand which homeopathic remedies need to be prescribed and why.  It has been so wonderfully heart-warming to hear from several patients that they have fallen pregnant, and to continue to assist them with their journey through to the birth of a healthy baby.  As well as remedies, a full medical history needs to be taken, and many lifestyle issues … [Read more...] about Heart-warming news from patients: pregnant after long standing infertility

Summertime hiccups and some remedies to have close by

By

For many, the idyllic summer on the Northern Beaches of Sydney is all about sunshine, saltwater, and backyard cricket — the reality can be insect bites, sunburn, and dodgy prawns left in the sun. Add in the festive frenzy and the occasional allergy ambush, and it’s clear: this season comes with a bit of bite. But that’s where a quiet little ally comes in, that can help take the edge off the chaos - your homeopathy first aid kit.

Night Terrors and Homeopathy

By 2 Comments

 Sweet Dreams with Homeopathy Those parents who have witnessed their child go through night terrors know exactly how traumatic an experience it can be. You hear your child cry out in that chilling shriek.  You rush in and turn on the light, knowing you can't reach them. You try to bring them gradually out of their unreachable oblivion which seems to last forever. Then your child screams at something just over your left shoulder and you feel your skin prickle, wondering what on earth (or not on earth) it is that your child can see. Because the only thing you … [Read more...] about Night Terrors and Homeopathy

Maintaining your Mojo in Menopause

By

It’s a bit of a running joke among women, especially mums between mid-thirties to late fifties, and often beyond. Libido? What libido? Hah, try having a libido when you’re working long hours, slogging through the vast majority of the housework and mental load, dealing with kids and all their needs, and then what’s left over maybe goes to your partner (if there is one) in the form of a quick conversation or cuppa as you both rush the kids to their after school activities or grocery shopping or quick dinner cooking etc etc. The daily grind is all-encompassing and … [Read more...] about Maintaining your Mojo in Menopause

Importance of iron for our well-being

By

Why do we need iron? Approximately 1.1 million Australians are iron deficient. Without adequate iron, the body can struggle to produce enough healthy red blood cells, which can result in reduced oxygen delivery and iron-deficiency anaemia causing symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, dizziness and shortness of breath. Results show that 35% of Australian women who are pregnant have anaemia, which is increased to 50% among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women. Iron is a vital mineral that is crucial for supporting several bodily functions such as immune … [Read more...] about Importance of iron for our well-being

The importance of Muscle Mass in menopause

By

Last year I drove all the way up to Woodford Queensland to volunteer in the homeopathy tent at the festival.  It was fantastic! But... half-way there, I had to stop for a bush-wee as I got a little caught short (‘scuse my directness, life’s too short to pussyfoot around for these things these days). That wasn’t a problem in itself. The problem I had was that back in the days when I did that kind of thing more often (ahem), I could crouch down and then get back up again no problem. This time, I got stuck. My legs were so weak, I couldn’t push myself back up to … [Read more...] about The importance of Muscle Mass in menopause

Insomnia and Homeopathy

By 1 Comment

Homeopathy, Saviour of Sleep! Who doesn’t like a good nights sleep? Wrapped up all nice and cosy, especially on a cold winter’s night; it makes one’s eyelids feel all heavy just thinking about a beautiful, soft pillow and deliciously warm covers. But for those suffering from insomnia, often the mere thought of some shut-eye fills them with a sensation closer to dread. Many insomniacs liken their inability to sleep as torture. Lying for hours alone in the dark with nobody but your own thoughts for company can make time feel very long. There’s no escape, unless … [Read more...] about Insomnia and Homeopathy

Weight Loss and Glucose Management: It’s not just what we eat but how we eat

By

I recently read a very interesting book, Glucose Revolution by Jessie Inchauspe, which explains glucose in detail, including sugar and fructose and how it is processed in the body. So often we focus on what and what not to eat, but it turns out that how we eat our food has a powerful effect on our glucose curves. Two meals consisting of the same foods can have vastly different impacts on our body depending on how their components are eaten.  (Cornell University in 2015 has scientific papers that proved this). When insulin levels have been high for a … [Read more...] about Weight Loss and Glucose Management: It’s not just what we eat but how we eat

Puberty Stages and Easing the Transition

By Leave a Comment

Transition is a period of changing from one state or condition to another In our lives, we go through many different transitions, some we have no control over, and some we choose. The ones beyond our control can often be difficult, painful, and uncomfortable. Puberty is one such transition. It relates to my own family at this time. As mother of two teen girls and about to enter the menopause zone myself (another major life transition). I am all too aware of the challenges that lie ahead for our family. Teen acne and teenage mood swings to name just a few. What … [Read more...] about Puberty Stages and Easing the Transition
