I specialise in homeopathic healthcare, with a career that has encompassed training and clinical practice in England, Israel, Paraguay, Sri Lanka and North America and, teaching and research at colleges primarily in the UK and USA.
Influenced by my father’s passion and expertise for plants and herbs and guided by my mother's experience of conventional and complementary medicine, I studied diet and nutrition, naturopathy, bodywork and homeopathy, integrating them into the homeopathic framework. I graduated in England from the School of Homeopathy and the Dynamis School for Advanced Homeopathic Studies.
I opened Life Works, a multi-disciplinary complementary medicine clinic in London in August 1985. After 20 successful years, in 2005 I moved my clinical practice to Oldbury Place, Marylebone, London W1.
My ongoing learning includes the completion of a PhD dissertation concerning the education of homeopathy. My research and published papers have concentrated on homeopathic philosophy, its affect on teaching curricula and the opportunities for transformative learning. Related consultancy and speeches have included exploration into the benefits of homeopathic and holistic principles in both business and conventional medical institutions. I have spoken for example, at the ‘Complementary and Alternative Therapies for Epilepsy’ conference at the School of Medicine, New York University, and was a keynote speaker at the American Holistic Medical Association conference on ''The Science and Spirit of Good Medicine'.
The best part of what I do is witnessing the curative effect of homeopathy in action, of being there when health seems to be falling apart and then comes back together again.
