Seeds of Hope Homeopathy

Initial Consultation $400 for adults, $350 for children 16 and under. (this is a one time appointment and fee) This is the first appointment and it will last approximately 60-90 minutes. During this first meeting we will talk on the phone or on video conferencing. I will ask you to speak in depth about yourself and your life. I want to know about you as a person! The recounting of your personal experiences provides the clues that help me understand the essence of your challenges. I use this information to match your unique case to a unique remedy for you. I will guide you as to where to purchase homeopathic remedies and give you individual instructions for your treatment plan

Follow Up appointments $150

Follow up visits are essential and integral to our success working together and are scheduled every 5 weeks. These visits give me data points and help me understand your response to your remedy. I schedule 30 minutes for this visit so you can share your experiences and I can ask questions and continue your care with good information. Included in my fee is the benefit for you to call me for a quick check in or to ask a question or give an update outside the appointment time. Longer conversations, additional appointments, or off hours calls in between appointments will be charged the regular fee.

Value

The overall cost averages about $35 per week, and totals approximately $1810 for an entire year. When compared to the cost of treatments such as therapeutic massage, acupuncture, or chiropractics, homeopathy can be similar to or often more cost effective.

Length of care

I cannot predict how long it will take for an individual to realize the full benefits from homeopathic treatment, most clients notice changes immediately and these changes build over time. In general, you can expect 1-3 years of working with me for chronic conditions. The longer you have suffered with a problem and the more severe it is, the longer you can expect it will take to achieve complete restoration of health.

Acute care $100

Acute situations, such as illness or injury which require a different remedy from your constitutional remedy, fall into this category. Some examples are: flus, infections, concussions, sports injuries, and traumatic events. I suggest my clients have a remedy kit on hand in the 200c potency so they are prepared for acute situations.

Pets $100 each appointment

I do care for pets! I have treated many cats, dogs and even a lame duck! If you need help with your family pet, please contact me so we can discuss the process. The pets are on the same 5 week follow up schedule as their humans for constitutional care.

Access to care
If you want to commit to the homeopathic process and need a sliding scale, please contact me to discuss options and fees.

Questions?

Please contact me, so I can answer any questions you might have about the process for homeopathic treatment.

When I was a little girl, I said: ‘I want to be a doctor when I grow up. ’ The inclination was authentic, I always tried to help people feel better emotionally and physically and I wondered what it would be like to be able to do even more. It seemed to me there was so much suffering in the world, including my own.

My interests lead to my degree in Psychology from UCSD and work at Scripps Institute as a research tech in the field of drug addiction and Psychopharmacology. I then went on to earn my Registered Nursing Degree and work in the emergency room and with medical/surgical patients.

As I gained more life experience through my education and work in those fields, I learned that doctors could help people in so many ways, especially in emergencies, but I also learned that they had a limited set of tools. Patients with chronic issues would end up adding to their list of health problems and medications, and there never was a return to health. So, I continued practicing as a Registered Nurse and decided not to pursue a degree in medicine.

After all these years of formal training and work experience, it was when I became a mother in 2001, that I entered an intensive period of personal and spiritual growth which led to a deepening interest in natural living, nutrition and sustainability. I continued to study and attend classes and experiential workshops in energy psychology, family constellations, spiritual studies, healing, herbs and nutrition, all to further enhance my knowledge of how to take really good care of myself and therefore my family. Having my own children encouraged me every day to ‘be a better and healthier version of myself’ and motivated my study and inner journey as it still does today.

All my studies had served me very well, however, it was when my second child became very ill, and neither doctors nor complementary alternative practitioners were able to help her that I found a homeopath, a healer; he saved her life. I was so exhausted physically and emotionally from caring for a chronically ill child, that I needed care as well. With the assistance of a homeopath, my autoimmune hypothyroidism and all of its debilitating symptoms are healed. It took over three years for my symptoms to completely resolve, however I gained strength and had relief all along the way. The best part of it all, is that I am also mentally and emotionally where I want to be; I now experience equanimity that had eluded me my whole life.

Because of the profound benefits my family and I experienced from Homeopathy, I was drawn to become a homeopath myself. I studied Homeopathy for four deeply nourishing and challenging years with Dr. Douglas Falkner, M.D. I have successfully worked with infants, children, and adults for a wide variety of health conditions, both acute and chronic.

Today, I am certain healing is about the spirit and the body follows. I am so grateful that I can help people on such a deep level. I think of that little girl and am in awe of the path that brought me here today.

A few more things about me:

My husband and I moved to New Zealand for 6 years and had our second child there. Living in New Zealand remains one of my most treasured experiences.

I adore gardening and the outdoors which informs so much of what I understand about natural laws. I like nothing better than planting all sorts of plants to create ecosystems for a diverse wildlife! We had our first Monarch Butterflies visit last year because of my plant choices!

I have one child who attends a rigorous college prep school and another who is home schooled; my husband and I do our best to guide each child honoring their individuality. We don’t seem to fit anywhere by conventional definitions, but it works for us!

A sampling of my favorite films are: ‘The Matrix’ ‘The Sound of Music’ , ‘Ratatouille’, ‘Vitus’, ‘Legally Blonde’, ‘Chocolat’ and ‘The Lord of The Rings’ series.

“The highest ideal of cure is rapid, gentle, and permanent restoration of health, or removal and annihilation of the disease in its whole extent, in the shortest, most reliable, and most harmless way, on easily comprehensible principles.”

​~Samuel Hahnemann

Homeopathy was developed by a German physician, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843). It is a medical science based on the principle that  “like cures like.” This means that any substance which can produce symptoms in a healthy person, can cure similar symptoms in a person who is sick. This idea is referred to as the “Law of Similars,“and was understood by Aristotle and Hippocrates and mentioned in ancient Hindu manuscripts. It was Hahnemann, however, who turned it into a science of healing recognizing the natural law of cure.  He used the word homeopathy to describe it, “homeo” means similar and “pathos” means suffering.

Homeopathic treatment, offers deep healing of mental, emotional and physical complaints. The general vitality of the organism is increased, and the health of the person is improved. This is in contrast to conventional medicines, which only manage or suppress symptoms.

Linda has been helping me since January 2014 (5 years).  She’s been a wonderful support in many different ways, her professional skill in finding the right remedy is outstanding, and she’s a person whom I really trust and whom I can talk to about everything.  I have complete faith in her advice and perspective at the same time as she challenges me to question my choices, whilst always holding space for and supporting me in whichever path I choose. 

She’s helped me overcome extreme anxiety, where I would have panic attacks so severe, I blacked out to a place, where I feel that I have a lot more control over my anxious thoughts and feelings.  My skin has improved from suffering from severe acne to occasional moderate outbreaks.  She never pushes me, but is there when I need her, and she’s helped me gain a lot of trust and confidence in myself. Linda’s holistic approach has helped me in the areas I went to see her for, and she has also helped me understand that seemingly unrelated factors can be interconnected in fascinating and unexpected ways.

Words cannot describe my gratitude to Linda, she’s one of the very first people I turn to for support, I feel blessed to have her in my life and I would highly recommend her to anyone! –Isla Mark-Coates (4.2019) Oslo, Norway

My youngest daughter was probably on the spectrum before we started working with Linda. She had trouble socially and emotionally at school and struggled to make it through the day. She was in 2nd grade when we started with Linda and she is now in 8th. Just today I received an email from her English teacher saying she has one of the highest grades in the class and that she is a phenomenal kid and that he really enjoys working with her. That is what working with an amazing homeopath like Linda can do for a kid!!
Linda is patient, non-judgemental and incredibly talented at educating you so that you can get the greatest benefit from homeopathy. She was so good at educating me and my experience working with her was so positive that I am now studying to be a homeopath. Seeking treatment from a homeopath like Linda puts you on a course to achieve better health on all levels: mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. -Julia Baggerly, San Diego, California.

My entire family has been under Linda’s care for several years now. She is an incredible resource and has helped us deal with many different issues from chronic mental/emotional and physical conditions to acute treatments for injuries. Recently my son had an accident at work that left him with a second degree burn on his arm. Thanks to Linda’s guidance in treating it homeopathically, it progressed very quickly from horrific-looking to something that looked more akin to minor “road rash”, and it appears it will have no long term scarring.
Our family dynamics have shifted for the better since beginning treatment with Linda. One of my sons had extremely high levels of anxiety a couple of years ago (especially around whether he would be able to get accepted to college and what direction he should go with post-secondary education), and now he is starting his second year of college, enjoying his program immensely and has confidence in his ability to complete his schoolwork successfully. His most predominant emotion has gone from paralyzing anxiety to excitement about his latest school project, and he is able to focus and work for hours at a time on his assignments.
My other son was very angry and disrespectful to the rest of the family, acting out in all kinds of ways, and generally wanted nothing to do with the rest of us. He also didn’t have any clear focus or direction in what he wanted to do with his life after high school and didn’t seem to care too much about anything. Since starting on his remedy, he is much easier to get along with, content and happy with his life, working at a job he loves while completing a post-secondary program he is very engaged with, dating a wonderful young woman who brings out his best qualities, and choosing to spend time with his family again!
My own case has been quite challenging as I have a number of life-long issues that Linda is helping me to address. Even though things have been extremely frustrating at times, Linda has always been patient and determined that we will figure things out, even if the path involves a few rough patches! I am so thankful for everything she has done for me and my family. All of us have benefited immensely from our work with Linda. -Karen McLaughlin, Ontario, Canada yourfitnessgroove.com

Linda helped our family tremendously during our “year of concussions.” After I received a concussion, I was told by an M.D. that it was “mild” and that I should rest for a few days before returning to normal activity. However, I experienced severe visual processing issues that kept me from being able to drive for several weeks. Also, I was still experiencing daily pain from the concussion. I belatedly realized I needed to check in with Linda. Within 72 hours of taking the remedy she prescribed, my visual processing returned to normal, and I was able to drive again. Additionally, the pain went away except for when I was extremely tired or taxed. After only one follow-up and re-dose, the pain cleared up permanently.
Shortly afterward, my husband also received a “mild” concussion. His reaction to the injury was uncharacteristic irritability and headache. We knew just who could help us and didn’t waste any time! His response to his remedy was dramatic over the course of 24 hrs. My husband had his “chill” back, and he had no more pain. -Heidi Anderson, Albuquerque, New Mexico

I knew Linda, only distantly, when she asked for a case study student for her homeopathy class. I didn’t know anything about homeopathy, but I’m up for most things that will help me understand my self. Now 5 years later, I continue to work with Linda and refer people of all ages to her. 

She has helped me see my strengths through many tenuous relationships (personal and professional). She eager to listen to my experiences as I paint a picture with individual stories to be able to see through to the broader generalities. 

She is caring, flexible and compassionate; Linda is a great objective person to have supporting your health! -Bethany Key, New Mexico
