Homeopathy Success Story: One Mother’s Journey to Better Sleep

I have just had a follow up appointment with my client today and it was an absolute delight to hear her success story so with her permission, I’m going to share it with you too.

My client had self-prescribed homeopathy for years, and it had helped her so often with minor acutes, both physical and emotional. She also prescribes for her partner and 2 young children. She works in the wellness industry herself, so homeopathy aligns perfectly with everything she believes in. Her new baby is six-months-old and, in fact, she is what inspired me to write my eBook about baby sleep, which you can access here.

Is it Post-Natal Depression?

After the birth of her daughter, [Patient X] was feeling low, had difficulty relaxing and finding it difficult to get to sleep. On the times when she could get her baby to sleep well for long stretches, she was still awake herself. She tried to use her same tried-and-tested self-prescribing methods, but nothing was working. She was beginning to fear she had post-natal depression.

That’s when she decided to reach out to me. [Patient X] explained to me that she chose to work with me because she saw that I specialize in sleep and mental health issues and because I had personally used homeopathy to support my own sleep and anxiety. She heard my story and wanted to learn from someone who had walked a similar path.

When I first met [Patient X] I was so pleased that she had reached out to me. New mother’s can often neglect their own needs, which is understandable in the circumstances but [Patient X] found herself needing to regain control of her own health in order to care for her baby.

Case Study

[Patient X] held a clear Sepia picture, there was low mood, hormonal upheaval, thyroid issues, and a deep, ongoing grief that had never fully resolved.

When I told [Patient X] that I would prescribe Sepia, she replied that she had taken Sepia before and it hadn’t done much. I explained the difference between making a remedy selection based on acute symptoms versus chronic symptoms. Also, when taking remedies, our intention in taking that remedy plays a big part. I felt confident that Sepia was a close match and that it could do deep healing for her. If you would like to read more about the remedy Sepia, please see here. In this case, I used ascending potencies and we touched based every few weeks before moving on to the next potency.

"Two Heads are Better that One!"

“I really like that I am able to contact Joanna via email with questions and she is quick to respond during her office hours. She always asks how I am getting on and I feel that she genuinely cares about my health. I will email her to tell her about any new symptoms that I have and she will either respond by email with advice or schedule in a follow up meeting. I now see that the support and guidance from a Homeopath makes all the difference. Two heads are better than one and Joanna empowers me to take responsibility for my own health and she explains why she is choosing the remedies. She is teaching me about Homeopathy at the same time which is fantastic. It is such a great healing resource”.

Sepia

[Patient X] got in touch with me after 2 weeks of taking the remedy to say she was feeling less irritable and more relaxed. She had signed up to her gym again and was finding the time to attend classes which was making her feel better (classic Sepia!). Her physical symptoms had some fluctuations and we made adjustments to the remedies as they arose.

It has now been 3 months and [Patient X] is continuing to take Sepia. It is such a fantastic remedy for mothers. It is made from cuttlefish ink and if you think about the cuttlefish, they are fascinating because they occupy both predator and prey roles, they have unique defensive strategies such as camouflage and squirting ink, and they show intelligent problem-solving abilities. These are the skills needed by modern-day mothers but it can become utterly exhausting and in today’s society where mothers are often isolated without sufficient support. They can often mood swings, anger towards loved ones, worse for touch and better for exercise.

The good news that [Patient X] shared with me this week is that she is, for the first time, finding joy in her role as a mother and she is able to relax and enjoy times when all her family are together. She is sleeping better, has more energy, she is laughing again, her and her partner are getting on much better and she is much less anxious. She feels like a weight has been lifted from her. This is the difference that the remedies can make to people’s lives. How amazing is that?

"I'm now the Mother I was Born to be!"

“The past few months working with Joanna has really changed the way I think about homeopathy and health. I used to think it was a replacement for conventional medicine, but now I see that homeopathic healing goes much deeper. I now have the energy and health to be the mother I was born to be! I will continue to have appointments with Joanna because there are still symptoms I want to resolve, but for me to feel positive about life again is such a huge transformation already.”
