What Should I Expect?
I've Had My First Appointment, Now What?
When you receive the first remedy, follow the instructions given. Some people have a reaction, some do not. Homeopathy is an individual event, no two people react the same. I encourage people to call in the first few days or week to let me know what has happened. If your first remedy is not correct, it is usually the second remedy you need, and it is just not the right time. As I like to explain, the remedy is like a tuning fork; you hit the tines, and hold up the fork (the remedy). If there is no reaction in the opposite fork (the individual), it is not the correct remedy because there is no resonance. The great thing about homeopathy, is that there is no side effect!
What Happens During the First Month?
Once you've taken the first remedy, always keep in touch. I may not always answer the phone or call back right away, but it doesn't mean I haven't heard you. Little pieces of information you leave are important, and are noted on your chart. If there is nothing we can do but wait, you may not hear back from me right away. If you are forgetful, I encourage you to write down something you think is important, or call and leave a message if possible. If you tend to make long lists, don't worry, it's not THAT important. I ask that clients see me again within 4 to 6 weeks so that they do remember when a symptom disappeared or came back. If the remedy helps your sleep but isn't strong enough, it may be better for 3 weeks then worse. This would mean you need another, stronger dose. But if you don't remember this information, we're both groping in the dark. How long the remedy works is very individual, and there is no way for anyone to know. There is no charge in the first 4-6 weeks for phone calls. SO keep in touch!
The Program Overview:
During the first phase of your program, you will be speaking with the homeopath in what is called an initial intake, lasting anywhere from 2 to 5 hours. During and after this time, all the relevant information is gathered, classified, and sorted. The most important characteristics will be put into a hierarchy, and many other bits of information will be analyzed. The key is you; the more information about what makes you who you are, the more likely your remedy will be found quickly and easily. During the second phase of the program, after you have taken your remedy, you will be scheduling follow-up appointments about one month in advance. These follow-up appointments may last anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour and a half. You will be asked a series of approximately two dozen questions about your health and well-being during the last month. Often, mental worries and sleep improve very quickly. back to top
