I discovered homeopathy after an amazing experience with my first child who had terrible excema from only 4 weeks old and who suffered multiple food allergies: Nuts, Wheat, Gluten, Dairy Products and Seafood. As you can imagine this made his diet very challenging indeed. I went everywhere including Great Ormond Street, and besides very strong steroid creams, there was no help. By the time he had turned five, I was told by the consultant that it was unlikely that he would grow out of these allergies. How long was I going to be able to tell him that he was not allowed to eat the party food at the children’s birthday parties because he was a special boy?
In desperation I saw a Homeopath and after several consultations, he was gradually introduced to various new foods which, miraculously – he didn’t react to. He now enjoys a full and varied diet and there is no hint of excema on his body. My own example is also interesting. I developed very bad Allergic Rhinitis – a condition where my nose ran like a tap 24 hours a day with puffy red eyes. I went to see the top Ear, Nose and Throat specialists, was prescribed heavy steroids and nasal sprays, but nothing helped. Around the same time as my son was treated, I also tried these alternative and natural therapies and can happily say that I am clear from this condition. All of this changed my life, so much so that I decided to train to become a practitioner initially in Homeopathy with Middlesex University where I gained my BSC degree. I am a fully qualified and registered Homeopath and abide by the professional code of ethics and practice
Subsequently, I qualified in Chinese Acupuncture (Beijing University) and then in Functtional Nutrition. I now enjoy treating people and seeing others get relief from many different debilitating and chronic conditions. Many of my patients appreciate my supportive approach and listening skills. Practicing Functional Nutrition, Acupuncture and Homeopathy means that I am able to look at your health from a variety of angles and choose treatment that is most appropriate for you.
IVF And Infertility
Couples having difficulty in conceiving are often in a very distressed situation. If and when as a couple you decide to have children, it is right that you explore all avenues to assist that magical goal of having a safe and successful pregnancy.
There are many many factors that effect a couples ability to conceive and have a successful pregnancy. Expert, experienced and sympathetic holistic care can be a vital ingredient in achieving these aims and has many times in my own practice, meant the difference between reaching that goal and experiencing continued anxiety and distress that unfortunately acts further to reduce your chances.
A Look at the Whole Picture – not just seeing you as people attached to an egg & sperm !
First it is important for you to appreciate that Acupuncture has a strong scientific basis that has proven clnical effectiveness in assisting successful outcomes for IVF and also natural conception. Acupuncture with IVF can increase the chance of pregnancy by 65% as documented in the Btitish Medical Journal. Furthermore, getting pregnant is really only half the battle. Fertility Acupuncture improves the chances of a full term successful pregnancy and a live birth by nearly 90%. I have placed a references guide at the bottom of this page and would be delighted if you took some time to read these.
As a practitioner, I will look at you holistically as a couple. I will explore many areas of your health, well being and emotional states. These all have an impact on the chances of successful conception. I take time to understand the issues and use experience from all the branches of alternative therapy that I practice to formulate a treatment plan. Functional Nutrition is individualised and works to give each couple the best chance for successful conception.
Both men and women should be supported for at least 3 months prior to the IVF procedure. For men, acupuncture and functional nutrition can improve the quality and quantity off semen. This improves the health of the embryo which in turn reduces the risk of miscarriage. For women, it can improve the quality and quantity of the eggs to help create healthy embryos. It can also regulate oestrogen and progesterone levels, thereby thickening the lining of the uterus. Research shows that increased blood flow to the uterus can help promote the implantation of the embryo.
Whatever stage you are at, please give me a call and I can discuss the options and individual issues with you.
