“The divine intervened again when I decided, at the last second, to change schools and attend the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe, AZ. It was only after a few years at the SCNM program that I realized how different my homeopathic training could have been, as SCNM has the strongest program in homeopathic medicine of all the schools in North America. Throughout my training I enjoyed learning about nutrition, botanical medicine, and being exposed to other healing modalities. But I LOVED seeing homeopathy work. I loved the art of homeopathic case taking. Every night that I left a homeopathic rotation, I would call my parents who were three hours ahead on the east coast, often waking them just as they were falling asleep to tell them all about the amazing benefits our patients were seeing. Most often I was telling them about the pediatric patients, the kiddo who had never babbled or crawled and suddenly, two weeks into homeopathic treatment at the age of 25 months, was walking and talking. The girl with seizures that stopped with homeopathic treatment, or the child who’s head-to-toe psoriasis resolved. And later, about this new condition called PANDAS that doctors were starting to realize was affecting a number of children.

“I learned that SCNM had the only accredited Homeopathic residency position in the country. In order to be eligible, I completed a one-year residency in general Naturopathic family medicine. Afterwards, I was selected to complete the homeopathy residency. Learning about homeopathy, being treated homeopathically, teaching homeopathy to naturopathic medical students, and helping patients to utilize homeopathic remedies has truly changed my life. I feel most on-purpose, most alive, when unraveling the homeopathic case. I love sitting down with someone, understanding their condition, and helping to make order out of the chaos that is disease. Especially in PANS and PANDAS, a condition that can be truly devastating. There has been no greater reward in my life than spreading the benefit of homeopathic medicine and witnessing the tremendous healing that it can bring.”
