Medicine that listens
to your body

Homeopathy is a gentle, subtle yet profound form of medicine. It works with the body, aiming to improve your health and facilitate healing in the most gentle and natural of ways — bringing about health, wellbeing, balance and vitality.

It is a truly holistic form of medicine. Rather than suppressing symptoms, a homeopath sees them as signals of imbalance and seeks to treat the whole person — mentally, emotionally and physically.

Homeopathic remedies are safe, non-toxic, non-addictive and free from harmful side effects. They are suitable for all ages — from babies and children through to the elderly and pregnant women.

Homeopathic medicine can support and complement conventional medicine, working alongside GPs and other health professionals, or provide a gentle alternative.

Three paths to wellbeing

Each therapy is distinct, yet all share the common philosophy of treating the whole person rather than isolated symptoms.

🌿

Homeopathy

A natural system developed over 200 years ago on the principle that "like cures like". Remedies stimulate the body's own healing capacity, addressing root causes not just symptoms.

What patients say

These testimonials reflect the personal experience of patients treated. Full names have been removed for confidentiality.

Homeopathy has really changed my life. It's been such a positive experience I just wish I had found it years ago. Once the homeopath gave me the right remedy, relief from anxiety, chronic illness and awful daily headaches followed. You can't put a good price on good health.

D.D. — Merseyside

My son's eczema cleared within a couple of months of going to Joy for the first time. Two years later it has shown no sign of returning. He is a healthy, active, independent and loving little boy. Joy has also helped me immensely with depression and my husband with psoriasis.

E.P. — Lancashire

Joy's wise, warm and intuitive enquiry during Zoom sessions and her skill as a prescribing homeopath are creating extraordinary positive changes in my health. I have a greater sense of wellbeing, a deeper understanding of myself and a renewed sense of energy.

S.H-S. — Devon

I experienced lack of periods for 9 months following the birth of my child. After visiting Joy and receiving a homeopathic remedy my periods returned and I have now had regular periods since. I am absolutely delighted and recommend Joy's expertise to anyone.

Mrs C. — Liverpool

I suffered from anxiety and panic attacks for many years with no significant improvement from conventional medication. Since having homeopathic consultations with Joy, I have noticed a huge improvement. A major change is that I have started a new job after many years of not being able to work.

J.N. — Lancashire

A painful bowel condition led me to homeopathy before embarking on steroids and an operation. I noticed steady improvement over the following months. I am delighted to say I didn't need the steroids after all. Two and a half years on, I feel fit and healthy with no bowel symptoms.

P.E. — Southport

A journey into holistic healing

A career change in 1995 led Joy into the holistic field of healthcare. After training in aromatherapy, sports massage and reflexology (including working within the NHS), a deep fascination with homeopathy led her to study at the University of Central Lancashire, where she gained a BSc (Hons) in Classical Homeopathic Medicine. Joy furthered her studies with an Advanced Diploma from the Dynamis School of Advanced Homeopathy (PCH) and she has now been in practice for 26 years.

Joy is a Registered Member of the Society of Homeopaths, the UK's largest regulatory body. She has also trained extensively in shamanism (UK and Ireland), counselling (MBACP) and sacred plant medicine.

Her practice has grown largely by word of mouth. She works with families, children and adults with a wide variety of conditions — in person in Southport, and nationally and internationally via Zoom.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you may want to know before your first consultation.

A first consultation usually lasts about 1½ hours. Time will be taken to listen to your emotional, physical and general symptoms. You will be asked about your lifestyle, diet, temperature and how your condition affects you, as well as your past medical history and that of your family.

A follow-up appointment of approximately 45 minutes is usually arranged about 4 weeks later to assess how you are progressing.
The frequency and number of visits required is very individual and depends very much on several factors — your condition, its severity, and how long the condition has been present.
Yes. Homeopathic remedies can be used alongside conventional medication. However, if you have been prescribed a homeopathic remedy and feel you need to take additional medication, please consult your homeopath to discuss how your treatment may be affected.
The remedies are non-toxic and non-addictive with no harmful side effects. After taking a remedy you may notice some changes. Some people experience feelings of increased energy and wellbeing. Occasionally symptoms may appear to worsen briefly — this is a positive sign showing the remedy is taking effect. Sometimes the body may have an initial 'clearing out' in the form of a discharge, cold or rash. All these reactions indicate that the process of self-healing has begun.
Many people seek out homeopathy to relieve the symptoms that arise during the menopause. If you are already on HRT and have been advised to come off it by your doctor, homeopathy can aim to support you and ease the transition. Common symptoms homeopaths treat include hot flushes, mood swings, anxiety, sleeplessness, loss of confidence and dryness.
Homeopathic remedies are made from a wide range of natural sources including plants, minerals, metals and some animal products.
No. Homeopathic remedies are only ever tested on people.
The remedies are so dilute that there are no molecules of the original substance remaining. Although there are many research studies, scientists have yet to discover exactly how homeopathy works — the answer is more likely to be found in the field of quantum physics. During preparation, remedies are shaken vigorously (a process known as 'succussion'), which is thought to transfer the energy of the original substance into the carrier. Homeopathic remedies are therefore thought to work on an energetic level, sending a message to the body to heal itself.

Regarding placebo: homeopathic remedies are equally effective on babies and animals. Homeopathy has been practised for over 200 years with success rates much higher than could be attributed to placebo alone.
Yes. Many pregnant women consult a homeopath for common conditions of both pregnancy and childbirth, including nausea, cramp, back pain, indigestion, heartburn and emotional distress.

Babies — including newborns — can also respond very well to homeopathic treatment. Common conditions that parents bring their babies to a homeopath for include colic, failure to feed, nappy rash, teething, coughs and vomiting.
