“The highest ideal of cure is the rapid, gentle and permanent restoration of health.” – Dr. Samuel Hahnemann

 

What is Homeopathy and how does it work?

Homeopathy is a holistic system of medicine developed in the late 18th century by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann who was a scholar and a medical doctor in Germany. He found a natural law, the Law of Similars, or “like cures like”, which is one of the foundational principles of homeopathy. It states that any substance which can cause symptoms in a healthy person can help to heal those experiencing similar symptoms when given in a very minute amount.

Homeopathy is a system of healing that treats the person, not the disease. It treats the whole person – I consider your mental, emotional and physical symptoms to get a picture of your state and who you are as a person. I want to get to know you as a unique person and what distinguishes you as an individual. No set of individuals, symptoms or diseases are exactly the same. They differ in how they are expressed or how they affect different people, that’s why I will prescribe a medicine that is specifically customized for you. Every client using homeopathy will have a very different and customized treatment plan and their own path to healing.

I want to know about your current state as well as previous significant experiences that have impacted you all the way from the beginning and throughout your life. In addition to building a timeline, I look for themes, patterns and connections in your case that explain how the illness is expressed and that point to the correct medicine. I may also consider the social, environmental, cultural, genetic, dietary and other aspects of your case to find a suitable remedy.

Homeopathic medicines (or remedies) are derived from either plants, minerals or animals. They are frequency medicine and work on an energetic level. They are highly diluted, safe and have no side effects. The remedy stimulates your body to establish an equilibrium, bring an overall balance and stimulate your body’s natural ability to heal. In that sense, it modulates function and builds your system’s resilience. It is a gentle and natural approach and can have wonderful results in uprooting disease permanently.

What to expect in a homeopathic consultation?

When I meet with you for the first time during the initial consultation, we’ll have a chance to talk for an hour and half. It can be done either in person for local clients, or online in a video call. During this time, my goal is to listen to your story and understand your health needs and priorities. You get to share everything that concerns you – physical as well as mental and emotional symptoms in as much detail as you want. This is your time to describe how your condition is expressed in daily life and how it affects you. I will also ask you questions in order to better understand your experience of the situation. I take extensive notes as I later do my research and analysis and also to establish a baseline for future evaluation. You may submit any current diagnostic tests, lab results or any relevant information from other healthcare providers in order to have a comprehensive view of your condition.

Follow up appointments take about 45 minutes and are usually done every 4-6 weeks until treatment is no longer needed. During a follow up, I will check on your progress and determine the next steps in the healing process. Acute consultations work similarly, except with many frequent check-ins in the span of 5-6 days.

All information shared and discussed will be kept confidential. Your information is also protected by HIPPA law.

FAQs

How do I take Homeopathic medicines/ remedies?
Homeopathic medicine works best if taken separately from food and drinks, by at least 20 minutes. Dry pellets of the medicine can be placed directly under the tongue where they dissolve within a few seconds. In some cases, homeopathic remedies may be diluted in water as directed by the practitioner.
How do I store Homeopathic medicines/ remedies?
Homeopathic medicines should not be stored under direct light or in extreme temperatures. They also should be kept away from strong odors – perfumes, spices, chemicals, etc. They should not be stored near computers, phones, routers and other electronics as those devices might interfere with the effectiveness of the medicines.
What is considered a dose of the remedy?
Depending on the different manufacturers, the number of pellets in each dose will vary. For example, for remedies produced and packaged by Boiron that generally have larger pellets, 3 pellets is considered a dose. With other manufacturers, the number of pellets in a dose will vary. Check with your practitioner for exact instructions on dosage, which will also depend on the pharmacy where you are obtaining your medicines.
Can homeopathic medicines be taken with other drugs?
Homeopathic medicines can be taken alongside other medications and generally do not interfere with them. Homeopathic medicines are prepared in potentized form, which is very different from allopathic medicines which are taken in raw or crude form. It is important for your homeopathic practitioner to know what allopathic medications you are taking in order to evaluate how they are affecting you.
How often do I need to come for follow ups?
Clients like to come for follow ups every 4-6 weeks to evaluate their progress and to find out next steps in their treatment. However, it depends entirely on the client how often they want to be seen – it can range from every 2 weeks to every 3-4 months or less frequently if they are doing well.
What if I get an aggravation?
If you have a reaction as a result of taking homeopathic medicine, please, contact me to decide the next steps in your individual case. Aggravations are not common but they can happen, and they are not necessarily a bad sign if they are temporary and don’t affect you much. For example, old symptoms from the past may reappear as your body is bringing them to the surface in order to heal them. This is an example of a reaction that is part of the healing journey.
How are homeopathic medicines different from vitamins, supplements, essential oils, etc.?
If you go to a naturopath, you may get prescribed supplements, or herbs. If you meet with a nutritionist, you would be recommended a certain diet, along with vitamins and minerals. All of these are great recommendations and can be taken along with homeopathy. The word “homeopathy” has the prefix “home” in it, so it may give you the impression that it is the same as home remedies, food supplements, and herbs, but it does not include any of these modalities. Homeopathy is a complete system of medicine within itself and uses its own class of potentized medicines. It has a curative effect on a deep level affecting the mental, emotional and physical spheres.

Meet Mariana

I am Mariana Sullivan and I am a professional homeopath who practices classical homeopathy. I live in Texas with my husband and our two boys. I hold a degree in Homeopathic Medicine and Health Sciences from the Ontario College of Homeopathic Medicine (OCHM) in Toronto, Canada. I also have a Master’s degree in Business Administration (MBA) from Oklahoma State University. I have clinical experience in working with diverse clients from all over the world. I welcome people of all genders, races, ethnicities, religious and spiritual beliefs, and different abilities.

After working in Marketing for some time, I decided to switch careers and pursue the world of natural health which I was always interested in. It has been extremely rewarding to be able to help my family, friends and so many others to improve their health.

Whether it was a sore throat, anxiety, kidney stones, sleep issues, ADHD, or lymphangitis, my family and I have personally seen amazing results using homeopathy. I am happy and grateful to be a part of the healing journey for so many people.

Why I love homeopathy

I love homeopathy simply because it works! I have used it for myself, my family and friends for years. It has made me persist in getting to the root cause of an issue in order to uproot it for good. It has shown me what true health is and allowed me to appreciate it. It has empowered me to help others, and that’s why I decided to become a homeopath. I love that it is gentle enough to use for babies and pregnant women, yet powerful and effective to treat serious conditions. It works well for acute emergent situations, as well as chronic conditions that someone has had all their life. Lastly, I love that Homeopathic remedies are easily accessible by anyone and relatively inexpensive.
