In searching for help with your health problems or with those of your loved ones and friends, you have found your way to my website. Most likely you are looking for a homeopath. Let me tell you why you would be making a good choice in consulting me:
Experience:
I have been involved with homeopathy, as a student and then a practitioner for 27 years. (I wrote this in February 2010).
I have gone to the school of hard knocks, having raised two children to adulthood, exclusively with homeopathy, and I am in the process of raising my third child also with homeopathy. God blessed me with three challenging, but very lovable children, so I can commiserate with you and the challenges you face raising your children.
Education:
I have attended ivy league colleges for my undergraduate education, and excellent homeopathic schools to get my degree and certification in homeopathy. Please refer to the About Me page for further information.
More important than this is that I keep up to date with the most cutting edge information available on homeopathy. I read the latest books, the latest provings, and attend seminars regularly to keep myself abreast of the developments in this field. This is no small task as homeopathy is growing by leaps and bounds in this information age.
Technology:
I use state of the art repertorizing and materia medica software in my practice, which gives me the ability to analyze cases creatively and efficiently.
I type all of my cases verbatim. I keep excellent records of client repertorizations, case charts and analysis charts. I have Skype capability and find this a superb way to communicate with clients. This enables me to pick up on all the visual clues that in person consultations afford without actually having the client sit across from me. It is also a lot of fun to work this way.
Spirituality:
I start my day with meditation and prayer, and include daily exercise in my routine. This is important, because it means I walk my talk. I know what an enormous responsibility is entrusted to me when I take someone’s case and make a remedy prescription. I have to make sure that I am making this decision from the highest part of myself, and not coming from my ego, so I meditate to keep my mind in as receptive and pure a place as I can. I do my work in the spirit of karma yoga. This means that when I am with my client, I am with them completely, but once they have gone, I let them go. I send them off with love.
Traditional and Modern Homeopathic Techniques:
When I began learning and practicing homeopathy 27 years ago, computer repertorizing programs had not yet come into existence, so I learned hand repertorization, which is how I worked for the first 17 years of my practice. This gave me tremendous experience in understanding repertories and traditional techniques of case analysis. I am, however, tremendously grateful for computer programs that make it so much easier and much more fun.
In terms of case analysis techniques I practiced the way most people still do for most of my career. I based remedy selection on finding a remedy that covered the totality of symptoms and matched materia medica as closely as possible, without paying attention to what the source of the remedy was, whether it was an animal, mineral, plant, bacteria, fungus or nosode. We were not taught to pay attention to this in our education. I appreciate these traditional techniques that I used for so many years, because there is great value in it, and it is a wonderful fall back when the advanced techniques of Sankaran are not easily applicable.
As Rajan Sankaran began developing his ideas in the early 90’s, I followed the development of his thought, which strongly influenced me. As his thought matured and continued to evolve, I went along for the ride, and I am still going for the ride. I am a very enthusiastic student.
In addition to the teachings of Sankaran, I have been very influenced by other homeopaths of the age from George Vithoulkas, to Robin Murphy, to Jan Scholten, to Louis Klein, to Paul Herscu, to Frans Vermeulen, to Roger Morrison to Nancy Herrick and many others. I understand that my place is in the clinic with patients, but I could never do the work I do if these other great thinkers, innovators, researchers and scientists had not contributed their genius and put it in writing and taught classes for people like me to learn from. I owe the homeopaths of the present and of the past a tremendous debt of gratitude.
Open-mindedness:
I know that homeopathy is great, even divine, but it is not the only great therapeutic system in the world. I was given the gift of this path, but other paths are just as wonderful and hold their treasures for the practitioners of those arts and their patients. I have a great respect for Western medicine, Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Western Herbalism, and the other medicinal arts that I don’t know about yet.
