Co-teaching 8 week course in Mindful Self-Compassion

Do you sometimes feel like you know where, who or how you want to be, yet have a sense of an invisible barrier blocking your being able to become that? You can articulate what needs to change, yet are unable to make that change happens. This kind of dilemma is part of what led me to homeopathy. One thing I love about homeopathy is that it can effect transformation, that it can move us beyond this sense of ‘stuckness’. Typically in a consultation, I listen to your story of what is feeling blocked in your life, of how you would like things to be, and select a homeopathic remedy that reflects your situation. And, in many cases, change begins to happen. We may have to move to different remedies as we peel off ‘onion layers’ of issues and emotion. And yes, homeopathy is also about healing the physical body. In homeopathy, the physical, mental, emotional even spiritual are all viewed as reflecting an imbalance that needs to be addressed. So patients report that symptoms of a wide range of conditions improve after homeopathic treatment; skin complaints, gut issues, breathing issues, joint complaints, anxiety… the list goes on. Homeopathy can also help ease discomfort in first aid situations. Essentially homeopathy is about restoring balance when there is imbalance. The effects can be powerful; it is low-risk and natural. What’s not to like?

When I graduated, I worked as a psychologist for 4 days. That's right, 4 days. I knew I was in the wrong place and decided to get our straight away (ok, I was inspired by a book called The Dice Man and tossed a coin - heads I stay, tails I leave. A great relief when it came up heads). For the next 7 years I worked in Theatre in Education and Community Theatre. In Tasmania, Melbourne, Newcastle, Sydney and with projects in Gosford and Orange NSW. What was important for me was that while acting a role it was possible to experience authentic emotion. This was true for me and also for the students I worked with. At the same time I was reading extensively - and in particular Jungian writers - searching for meaning. In 1981 I was introduced to mediation and finally experienced wholeness. I was also introduced to an ancient system of psychology.
