What can Akasha Complementary Care do for you?
Akasha is a Sanskrit word that in Hindu Vedic philosophy represents ether or space that radiates, permeates and has knowledge of all of life. It is creative in nature and when interacting with energy or prana, anything can be created, including health.
Akasha Complementary Care sees the homeopathic consultation as Akashic space which, when combined with the appropriate homeopathic treatment (energetic remedies) can recreate a state of health or homeostasis within the patient.
A treatment plan at Akasha Complementary Care not only includes homeopathic treatment, but incorporates lifestyle and dietary guidance as necessary in each case. As such, along with homeopathic remedies, certain practices such as meditation, breathing exercises and diet modifications may also be suggested as ancillary measures to enhance the homeopathic treatment.
Along with providing quality complementary medicine, having a background in nursing ensures thorough knowledge of disease processes, the impact of conventional medicine, the potential need for referral and the willingness and ability to work in conjunction with conventional medicine practitioners when needed.
What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a system of individualised, holistic medicine that seeks to promote the body’s self healing ability through the administration of homeopathic remedies. Homeopathy was founded by Dr Samuel Hahnemann, a German Physician, in the 18th century and is now one of the most commonly used form of health care worldwide. In many parts of the world, including across the UK, Europe and India, homeopathy is practiced alongside conventional medicine with many homeopathic hospitals in existence.
Homeopathy has 200 years of empirical evidence and clinical experience and in recent times, more scientific research has also shown its benefits.
What are Homeopathic Remedies?
Homeopathic medicines are made from various substances, including plants, animals and minerals, basically, if it exists, a homeopathic remedy can be made from it! When made, they go through a process of serial dilution and succussion and as such, don't have the same side effects as seen in use of crude states of medicine. This means that homeopathic remedies can be taken when pregnant, by babies and alongside conventional medication.
How does Homeopathy work?
The word homeopathy is derived from two Greek words “homoios” and “pathos” meaning “similar suffering”. Homeopathy is grounded in the Law of Similars which stipulates that substances capable of producing symptoms in a healthy person, is also capable of treating those same symptoms in a sick person, a principle shared not only by homeopaths, but one that dates back to Hippocrates, the “Father of Medicine”.
A common example used to demonstrate this concept, is the use of a remedy made from onion to treat symptoms of hay fever or a cold where you may have a runny nose with thin, clear discharge and watering, burning eyes.
As everyone experiences their illness differently (no two headaches, period pain, or feelings of anxiety are the same), a remedy that best matches the characteristic and particular symptoms that you experience will be sought using the law of similars.
For example, if you come in with a headache, I would want to know what kind of pain you feel eg. pressure, drilling, pounding, where the pain is located, any triggers, what makes it better or worse, and a matching remedy would then be prescribed. As such, each person receives a prescription specific to them and their experience rather than a generalised “pain” medication.
What can homeopathy treat?
As homeopathy treats the individualized symptoms of each person it can treat anything that affects an individual, whether it is on the physical, emotional or mental level.
Examples of cases for which I have used homeopathy in the past include: symptoms of acute infections such coughs and colds, support during pregnancy, labour and post-partum period, as well as more chronic cases such as skin conditions, women’s reproductive health and fertility issues, allergies, grief and anxiety to name a few.
What to expect in consultation…
The initial homeopathic consultation generally takes between 1 to 1 ½ hours depending on the case. A complete history will be discussed, with questions regarding your presenting complaint, health history, family history and lifestyle with a focus on you and how you experience your symptoms, as this is the defining factor in finding the most suited remedy. Time will be given for you to fully express any symptoms or experiences that are, or have impacted on you, as being heard and having your experience validated is often the first step of the healing process itself.
The treatment plan will be then be constructed in conjunction with you, as I have found through experience that patients actively involved in the healing process not only feel more empowered, but having the homeopath and the patient in sync with the goals and expectations of treatment often leads to better outcomes.

About Me
My life has always been an integration of both eastern and western philosophies regarding health, healing and life in general.
As a practicing nurse in oncology and gastroenterology, I have seen the need and also the benefit that more natural and holistic forms of healthcare, such as homeopathy, can have not only on the health, but also the wellbeing of patients.
I have also been fortunate enough, through years of personal study and travel, to have learnt and experienced more esoteric practices of medicine, meditation and energetic healing and have seen how effective these can be.
