For Homeopathic Practitioners
Samuel Hahnemann (1755 -1843)
"If I did not know for what purpose I was put here on
earth - to become better myself and as far as possible and
to make better everything around me that is within my power
to improve - I should have to consider myself as lacking very
much in worldly prudence to make known for the common good,
even before my death, an art which I alone possess, and which
it is within my power to make as profitable as possible by
simply keeping it secret."
Opening paragraph of Samuel Hahnemann's Preface to "Chronic
Diseases".

Welcome to our practitioners' page. My
name is Mary Aspinwall, when I first started practising Homoeopathy,
in 1995, I was new to the area and something of an unknown
quantity! At that time many people had still no idea what
Homeopathy was and others thought it was 'some kind of herbalism'.
I saw one of my first tasks as creating
a forum where people could meet with me, informally and find
out more about what I did. I began by hiring a room at the
local hotel and giving an introductory talk. Then I went as
a speaker to any group that would have me! The interest in
alternatives to conventional treatment was immense and shortly
after that I began to run regular first aid / beginner's classes,
charging a fee of around $40 per person for a ten hour course.
The classes proved to be very popular and in the beginning
many of my clients came (directly or indirectly) from them.
The students were given the option to buy remedy kits and
books and nearly all of them did so. Of course nowadays there
are a host of wonderful books that guide people through self-prescribing,
but it can be very reassuring to meet regularly with a group
and explore the philosophy and intricacies of this great therapy
together. It also helps self-prescribers to identify what
sort of complaints are suitable for them to treat and which
might benefit from a full consultation.
If you run, or are thinking of running, a first-aid or introductory
homeopathic course please feel free to use any of my materials
for this purpose. Just click on An
Introduction to Homeopathy.
