My training
Homeopathy, the asterisk.
Homeopathy is a complementary, whole-person approach. You are always welcome to ask me anything about how it works.
In 2015 Australia's National Health and Medical Research Council reviewed the evidence and concluded that there were no health conditions for which there was reliable evidence that homeopathy was effective. Many people still choose homeopathy and value the care and support they receive. You are welcome to read the review and make up your own mind.
