​I am a Melbourne-based Homeopath and Senior Biology Educator with over 25 years of clinical experience. My life’s work is driven by a fascination with how the human body heals, adapts, and restores balance. I believe in a system of medicine that honours the body’s innate intelligence rather than overriding it—a perspective that bridges the gap between biological science and gentle, restorative healing.

 

The Path to Healing: My Story

My journey began with a curiosity about why the body behaves the way it does under stress, illness, and hormonal change. Homeopathy became my calling because it listens—not just to symptoms, but to the person behind them. To me, health is about the deep connection between mind and body, symptoms and stories.

Outside the clinic, I am a lifelong learner. I have spent part of my time teaching senior biology (VCE Australia and have taught A/AS level Biology in UK), find peace in the outdoors, and love experimenting in the kitchen with nourishing food. Spending time with my family keeps me grounded, and these personal values of honesty and "gentle intelligence" shape every consultation I lead.

 

Clinical Foundation & Academic Depth

I hold an intensive 5 ½ -year medical-standard degree (BHMS) from the University of Delhi. This provided a rigorous foundation in Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, Surgery, and Gynaecology, alongside the study of Organon, Materia Medica, and Repertory.

• Research Thesis: “Homeopathic Therapeutics in Acid Peptic Dysphagia.”

• Post Graduate Diploma: British Institute of Homeopathy.

• Authorship: Author of Materia Medica for Students, a text focused on understanding remedies through logic and etiology rather than memorization.

 

Areas of Special Interest

• Women’s Hormonal Health: Supporting women through puberty, PCOS, fertility, and menopause, and restoring balance after contraceptive use. I help navigate the close link between emotional wellbeing and hormonal health.

• Children’s & Teenage Vitality: Providing gentle support for allergies, recurrent tonsillitis, ear infections, and respiratory concerns, as well as the emotional and behavioural shifts of the teenage years.

• Gut & Immune Integration: Using Bowel Nosodes and Miasmatic support to address inherited predispositions toward inflammation and immune weakness. 

 

My approach

My clinical approach focuses on deep, "Constitutional healing" by identifying the biological blueprints and underlying tendencies that shape your health. Rather than simply managing surface symptoms, I address "Miasmatic patterns"—the inherited or long-standing predispositions that often drive chronic inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and immune weakness. Central to this work is the Gut-Immune Axis; where appropriate, I incorporate "Bowel Nosodes" and gentle "Drainage therapy" to clear internal blockages and support your body’s natural detoxification pathways. This layered, science-informed methodology allows healing to unfold respectfully and sustainably, ensuring your recovery is in total alignment with your body’s unique pace.

​
