Donna’s Journey with Homeopathy

Homeopathy has been a significant part of my life for many years. My first visit to a Homeopath was in 1990 whilst living in London. Recommended by a friend who had experienced an incredible improvement in her health, I was curious to see if I too, could address some of my health issues. One appointment was all it took! I vividly remember leaving the consultation, literally skipping down the road, having taken my first Homeopathic remedy.

My visit consisted of a one-and-a-half-hour consultation where the Homeopath learned everything about me. Even the way I told my story was important. Homeopathy is so individualised. I felt listened to, and 'layers of the onion' started to peel away. 

Feeling excited about my newly discovered healing modality, I went on to study Homeopathy at The College of Practical Homeopathy (CPH) in North London, UK for two years. This leading global institute has educated and produced some of the best practical Homeopaths in the world. I was fortunate to study under the wise and wonderful Homeopath Robert Davidson, a unique practitioner who touched many lives. During my time in London, I assisted friends, family, and teaching colleagues with this fascinating health system. Over the years, I continued to visit my London-based Homeopath, Edie Freeman, and engaged in tutorials with Edie, who is a wealth of experience, knowledge, and wisdom.

Whilst living for a total of nine years in Egypt and Chile, I connected with local Homeopaths, furthering my knowledge and gaining a broader range of experience. After moving back to New Zealand and completing a three-year course at The College of Natural Health and Homeopathy in Newmarket, Auckland, I received my Dip HOM. I feel blessed to have had such a wide variety of experiences and learning opportunities contributing to my career and learning. 

Another memorable experience was in 2016 where I visited Jeremy Sherr’s Homeopathy for Health in Africa clinic in Moshi, Tanzania. During this visit, I observed Homeopathic lessons being taught to the local people and volunteered in the villages alongside the HHA Homeopaths living there. This was an incredible and enriching experience.

To this day, I have continued to study various aspects of Homeopathy, applying the knowledge and wisdom gained to assist my clients through their health 

I grew up near the Kaipara Harbour, north of New Zealand, in a rural setting and often spent time in the country's beautiful native bush. I enjoy listening to music, visiting the ocean, embracing nature, singing, walking, and being the ‘number one’ supporter of my son in his games. I am blessed to have a son who plays football at a pro level. He has used Homeopathy all his life which has proved to be very useful in his sporting and personal world. Additionally, I am passionate about studying various healing modalities and keeping up with the latest advancements in Homeopathy. Being a trained teacher has complimented my involvement in Homeopathy. I love travelling and meeting people from different cultures, and living abroad has been a significant part of my life. I am currently residing in Wellington, New Zealand.
