Wendy’s Homeopathy

Wendy’s Story

I worked as a registered nurse for a number of years in the UK

When I had children, that was when I first became interested in homeopathy. My eldest had a hard time teething; I felt I was having to give him Calpol too often in order to keep him comfortable, and so one day I asked my local chemist what else I could use. He recommended homeopathic teething granules. I had never heard of homeopathy, but this began my journey. I found the remedy to be far more effective than Calpol and so much safer. I began to read up on the subject and tried more and more remedies as my little ones went through a succession of minor childhood ailments. Always, they came through each one without complications and faster than most children did.

I had never used remedies on myself until I suffered from a severe bout of tonsillitis; I had never experienced it before. My GP gave me penicillin, the symptoms went away, only to return again as soon as I finished the course of antibiotics. He gave me Septrin, and the same thing happened. This time, I did not go back to the GP; I delved into my trusty book and found what I thought was the right remedy. It worked; with just one dose, all of my symptoms went away, never to return. From that point on, I used the remedies myself whenever I had some kind of acute ailment.

What I was unaware of was the potential for longer-term, deeper healing; it took me years to discover this.

Fast forward to myself in my mid 50’s, I had always enjoyed giving myself a challenge; I spotted a 2-day course to “refresh your knowledge of homeopathy” in London. I decided to book this; the very act of travelling alone to London was a challenge, so off I went.

For 2 days I listened in awe as the full potential of this system of medicine became clear to me; the college I had gone to ran a 4-year distance learning course. After a little thought, I decided to give it a go. I felt, as I listened to the college principal, that this was what I should be doing; this is where I belonged, so I began some serious studying.

Halfway into the course, I decided to retire from nursing in order to do this properly, and I have never looked back. I completed the course and registered in the UK, setting up a small private practice in the Manchester area.

4 years ago, we moved to Ireland. I continued treating existing patients in the UK by Skype consultation; I also began to treat friends and neighbors locally. Now I have the opportunity to work alongside my daughter, The Barefoot Therapist, in The Healing Room, Carrig-on-Bannow, Wexford.
