Homeopathy 4 Mums & Babes Course ...

Denny and Isla, July 2009.

"I thoroughly enjoyed the course content and I found the homeopathy very interesting as an alternative to 'normal' medicines. It certainly was a great way to get the brain working, learning about new remedies and understanding the symptoms that can be treated.

"I found the teaching style, atmosphere and location very welcoming and relaxed, which was ideal for a nervous first time mum and a 5 week old.

"Jo is a fantastic teacher, she is very knowledgeable and it was interesting to hear some of her case studies and successes. Jo was also very happy to answer any questions as we went along making the course informal and relaxed.

"I have had some success with my homeopathy kit. Isla had been screaming for about 2 hours with what I thought was colic stomach pains, so I gave her some chamomilla in cooled boiled water in a bottle and after 5 minutes of drinking it she was fast asleep in her moses basket.

"I would definitely recommend this course to other mums as its interesting to see what other alternatives there are to off the shelf medicines and its always good to have another trick up your sleeve when your baby is crying. I'm looking forward to experimenting more with my homeopathy toolkit in the future. Thank you!"

"For me, Jo's homeopathy course contained light bulb moments for niggles or concerns that you may have but are unsure what to do about them - for example, if it doesn't seem appropriate to go to the doctor as you can't quite explain it but you know your child isn't quite right.

"The course naturally leads to group discussion, which I found incredibly helpful as you have a great environment to discuss questions or concerns that arise during the course. Hearing examples from others that have used remedies and the affect that they have had on the patient is incredibly powerful - particularly on bumps and bruises. You find yourself wanting to be able to use a remedy (of course, you don't want people to be suffering, but just knowing the powerful reaction that the remedy can have makes you want to have a go!)

"In the first week, we had all been bitten by the homeopathic remedy bug and were keen to get remedy kits and try and touch the iceberg on this vast subject as it is just fascinating and being able to relate it to specific concerns you have about your child is great.

"I particularly enjoyed the start of each week as you had time to digest the information from the previous week and recognise the symptoms and the remedy for discussion and this usually led to general conversation so we could all share our views. The break during the session and time for discussion at the end was also very helpful. It was great that Jo would just alter the content or speed of the session if required - as sometimes we would need more time and to have this flexibility was great.

"The relaxed atmosphere of the course also means that if you have to feed or baby is unsettled you can be involved as much or as little as you want as these times as everyone understands.

"It has definitely opened a can of worms for me, I would like to go on further courses to keep adding to my knowledge and ensure that I keep an active interest to use what I have already learnt and will put in to practice.

"I found the course incredibly useful as it gave me a whole new tool (great that it's a natural alternative) and alternative options to consider with Ellie. There have been times where I couldn't explain what was wrong with Ellie but I knew something wasn't right and homeopathy has allowed me to explore this and it certainly answered some questions. "I also find myself trying to help my friends and family if something has happened to them and it reminds me of a rememdy that can help! I do feel that there is so much more to learn and that it will take time to feel confident to use the right remedies but having such a good group and staying in contact helps.

"I am delighted to have found homeopathy at this stage in my life as I really do feel that Ellie will get the benefit from it.
