What to Expect in Your Session

Homeopathy is different from many other forms of care. Rather than focusing on a diagnosis alone, we take time to understand your experience or your child’s experience in detail so care can be truly individualized. You don’t need to organize or analyze everything ahead of time. My role is to guide the conversation and help draw out what matters most, and the notes below are simply to give you a sense of what we’ll explore together.

  • From the Beginning

    We’ll start by talking about how your concerns first began.

    I’ll ask about:

    When the symptoms started

    How they developed over time

    Whether they came on suddenly or gradually

    What was happening in your life around that time

    This helps us understand the full picture, not just where things are today.

  • History of Illness

    Your health history gives important context.

    We’ll talk about:

    Past illnesses or recurring issues

    Childhood illnesses and recoveries

    Injuries or significant health events

    Treatments you’ve tried and how you responded

    Even things that seem unrelated can be helpful to mention.

  • The Little Things

    Often, the details that seem small are the most meaningful.

    This includes things like:

    Emotional patterns or sensitivities

    Fears, worries, or recurring thoughts

    Changes in mood, energy, or motivation

    How stress, noise, or stimulation affects you

    Sleep patterns or startle responses

    There’s no need to filter this. If it feels relevant to you, it’s worth sharing.

  • Of the Mind

    We’ll also talk about how you experience things internally.

    This might include:

    How you feel about the future

    How you respond to stress or uncertainty

    Whether you prefer company or solitude

    Any emotional shocks or difficult experiences that stand out

    We’ll pay attention to which of these appeared or changed when your health concerns began.

  • Let's Talk Appetite

    Your appetite and thirst can offer useful information.

    I may ask about:

    Food cravings or aversions

    Thirst levels and drink preferences

    Changes in appetite over time

    Again, there are no right or wrong answers here.

  • Issues with Pain?

    If pain is part of your experience, we’ll explore it carefully.

    This includes:

    What the pain feels like

    Whether it comes and goes or stays constant

    What makes it better or worse

    How it moves or changes

    Your description matters more than medical terms.

  • Details of Symptoms

    We’ll look at patterns in your symptoms.

    This may include:

    Times of day or night when things improve or worsen

    Changes with rest, movement, sleep, or meals

    Sensitivity to weather, temperature, or seasons

    What brings relief and what aggravates symptoms

    These patterns help guide remedy selection.
