​

In 2012, while working as a college professor, I began to study at the Canadian College of Homeopathic Medicine in Toronto, Ontario. Later, I studied at the Academy of Homeopathy Education in Philadelphia, completing my Practitioner's Certificate in June, 2019, and receiving my CCH in May of 2020. 

​

In May, 2021, I completed a four week empowerment course with The Ayahuasca Foundation in Mishana, Peru, which provides a foundational introduction to indigenous (Shipibo) medicinal practices. Although not homeopathy, I engaged in this course of study to study the differences and similarities in the two practices in order to understand homeopathy more deeply.  

​

Prior to becoming a homeopath, I was an educator and a writer.  I was a freelance science and technology writer, teacher, and professor, teaching writing, English and mathematics. I have advanced degrees and study in philosophy, English literature, and creative writing. I live in Rochester with my daughter, my cats, and chickens. Besides homeopathy, I am deeply involved in sustainable living practices. 

 

As of this writing, (02/26/2024) I am the only Certified Classical Homeopath in Monroe County, New York. 

 

In October of 2024, I became a Board Director for the Council For Homeopathic Certification. 

​

On December 2, 2024, I became a Licensed Homeopathic Practitioner (LHP) in the State of Arizona, with license #000014*

 

* This is the first license offered to non-medical homeopaths in the history of the United States  (The Province of Ontario, Canada, has had licensure for homeopathic practitioners since 2007).  Please note that this (AZ) license is NOT VALID in the State of New York where I live and practice.
