This isn’t a strictly Homeopathic post, although more often than not, many clients I see have a history of trauma.
I felt inspired to write this post after a recent metamorphosis of my own. For although I AM a Homeopath and a Healer, I too am on path to better myself. It’s one of my life’s missions - to be a better person today, than I was yesterday.
I’m not perfect (who is?!) - and like all of you, I too have had my share of trials and tribulations. 2025 hasn’t been an easy year for many people - myself included - but I am coming to the end of this year a different person than I was at the start.
Things have transpired this year that I could never have predicted. There have been some very tough days … and thanks to Homeopathy, loved ones and a strong inner resilience, I have made it through the other side.
When those tough days come calling - and sadly, they come to us all - we are never the same person afterwards. There is an inner shift, a strength we never knew existed (or perhaps we did, but we REALLY didn’t want to have to go there again…) and a new version of ourselves is born.
For those interested in Chinese Astrology, 2025 was the year of the Snake - shedding the skin, releasing the old - and 2026 is the year of the Horse. Forward movement, purpose, drive, courage.
There’s been a theme of relationships in my practice this year. Clients feeling unfulfilled, that something is lacking, feeling burdened, that there is more to be had. Some clients have ended their relationships, while others choose to stay and work through their issues.
I support my clients with whatever decisions they make. Homeopathy CAN help in this arena!
And here’s the thing I keep coming back to - the people who sit in front of me every day (on Zoom or in person), often carrying decades of hurt… they are some of the strongest people I know. Not because they “powered through” or “kept a stiff upper lip,” but because at some point they decided: this ends with me.
They decide that the patterns, the pain, the disconnect, the self-abandonment… it stops here. With them.
And then they begin the slow, courageous work of coming back to themselves - piece by piece, layer by layer, like that Snake shedding its skin.
Trauma doesn’t make people weak. It forces them underground for a while. It buries the light. But it never extinguishes it. And when people finally start rising again -sometimes tentatively, sometimes fiercely - they rise with an honesty, a presence, a depth that wasn’t available before.
I’ve watched clients walk through heartbreak, betrayal, childhood wounds, health crises, financial shocks, identity shifts -and when they come out the other side, they are not the same people.
They are softer… but they are also stronger.
They are wiser… but they are also more open.
They are scarred… but they are also luminous.
And Homeopathy often acts as the gentle hand on the small of the back, guiding them toward that next right step - lifting the fog, regulating the nervous system, helping the body release old patterns, creating just enough space for clarity to break through.
But they do the rising.
They do the choosing.
They do the alchemy.
As we head into the Year of the Horse - this energy of forward motion, momentum, truth-telling, wild-hearted courage - my hope is that you remember this:
You are not behind.
You are not broken.
You are not late to your own life.
You are exactly where you need to be, with exactly the strength, insight, and resilience required for this next evolution of you.
If 2025 cracked you open - good. Let the light in.
If it brought endings - trust that new beginnings are already moving toward you.
If it asked you to choose yourself - may you choose again, and again, and again.
And if you need support - whether emotional, physical, relational, or spiritual - Homeopathy is here for you. -
I’m here for you, too.
Here’s to the shedding,
the rising,
and the beautiful, unstoppable gallop forward.
