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.
