Homeopathy is wholistic medicine based on the principle of ‘like treats like’. Homeopathy uses highly diluted substances, uniquely prepared, to enliven the body’s natural ability to heal itself.

Consultations are in person at Red Head by appointment or online.

Initial Consultation: $220 (1.5-2 hours)

Follow-up: $140 (1 hr)

In the first consultation, which takes between 1-1/2 and 2 hours, your symptoms will be explored as well as how you respond to your environment, other people and to food. Your dreams and fears, medical history, personal and family history will also be explored so that what is characteristic of you can be determined.

This confidential consultation thoroughly explores your health and the person you are, putting you on the path to a greater understanding of yourself and your health within the context of your life story. Elizabeth will then take time to reflect on your case before deciding on a remedy. The cost of consultations includes the time taken to research and reflect on the case.

Follow up consultations
Follow up consultations take about an hour. It may be necessary to have several consultations before you and your complaint can be fully understood. Sometimes it takes time to return to good health. Once well, some people regularly check in as a way of maintaining a strong constitution and sustaining well-being.

Homeopathic medicines don’t have side effects. This is due to their unique preparation using a process of dilution and potentisation of natural substances. In this way the medicinal power of a substance is heightened, and the risk of any side effects is minimised. This makes homeopathy safe for everyone, including pregnant women, babies, children and the elderly. Homeopathy is used the world over by millions of people.

Homeopathy is believed to work by stimulating the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Remedies are selected based on the Law of Similars whereby a substance that produces symptoms in a healthy person can be used to treat those same symptoms in a sick person. 

Some people try homeopathy because they have concerns about the side effects from conventional medicine. It is recommended that you maintain your relationship with your GP and other health providers and let them know that you are receiving homeopathic treatment especially if you have a complex medical condition.

Homeopathy can complement modern medicine or be integrated into a system of medicine that includes therapies such as Bowen Therapy, Herbal Medicine, Chiropractic, Osteopathy and Reiki.

Homeopathy treats the person, not the condition. Homeopathy does not have standard remedies to treat a diagnosed condition.

Homeopathic remedies are selected based on a detailed assessment of your unique symptoms, constitution and emotional state. During the confidential, in-depth consultation, your homeopath will consider all aspects of your health and wellbeing including your past medical history, diet, life situation and personality type, as well as getting a thorough understanding of the exact symptoms you are experiencing.

Homeopathy can be used to treat a wide range of acute and chronic conditions.

Homeopathy can be effective first aid for treatment of conditions such as shock, trauma, pain, colds and flus, injuries, insect bites, vaccine reactions and fevers.

Dental treatment, fractures and sprains and post- operative care can be greatly assisted with homeopathic remedies.

Homeopathy can also provide deep treatment of chronic conditions, by addressing the root cause of illness. Chronic conditions may include asthma, allergies, ear infections, bronchitis, sinusitis, fibromyalgia, arthritis, sports injuries, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, PMS, menopausal symptoms, IBS, nausea, diarrhoea, constipation, food allergies, high blood pressure, anaemia, heart palpitations, anxiety, depression, grief, phobias, learning disorders, ADD and ADHD, autism, and autoimmune disorders.

It varies depending on the person and the nature of the condition being treated. In an acute (recent) condition, responses can be rapid.  A remedy may also help symptoms reduce in intensity and length of duration. Improvement in a long-term chronic condition is usually steady and gradual over weeks, months, or sometimes years, although marked improvement may be reported within days.

Once well, some people regularly check in with their homeopath as a way of maintaining a strong constitution and sustaining well-being.

If your child is the patient, then Elizabeth will want to meet the child. However, it will be necessary to speak to the parents/caregivers without the child being present, and a separate time may be necessary for this meeting. Elizabeth will seek information about the child’s birth, milestones, sleep, digestion, behaviour, illnesses and overall situation. Many parents choose to work on their own health and issues that may be affecting their child’s health, and arrangements can be made for fee relief when several family members are seeking homeopathic treatment.
