A journey through the remedies that became famous for one thing... whether they liked it or not. If you were around for the Jessica Simpson era, you'll remember the moment on Newlyweds when she stared at a tin of tuna and wondered aloud whether it was chicken or fish, because the label said Chicken of the Sea. Twenty years later she's still the tuna girl, which tells you everything about how hard it is to shake a reputation once it sticks. Homeopathic remedies know exactly ho

If the last few years have taught us anything, it’s that we can’t keep relying on willpower, spiritual bypassing, or “I’ll be fine” energy to get us through the intensity of this final Snake‑shed. We need actual tools — the kind that work when your ego is screaming, your nervous system is jumpy, and your frequency drops faster than you can say “why am I crying in the Woolies carpark again.” So this month, I want to help you build a toolkit that is yours — not mine, not Instag

One of the things I love about homeopathy is that seemingly ordinary experiences can become useful clues. Comparison is one of them. Most of us have caught ourselves doing it at some point. Looking at somebody else's life, relationship, business, family or healing journey and wondering why they seem to have something we don't. Interestingly, different remedies can express comparison in very different ways. Lachesis is probably one of the most well-known remedy pictures associ

One of the things I love most about being in practice is that remedies don't always arrive through textbooks. Of course, we learn remedies through study. We learn them through Materia Medica (a reference collection detailing homeopathic remedies, their characteristics, and the physical, emotional and mental symptom patterns traditionally associated with each). We learn them through seminars and mentors. But if I'm honest, the remedies that really stick are often the ones that

This is the story of Kali phos…… This little gem saved my life back in my College days when, as you can imagine, I was a nerd. I graduated with awards and high distinctions, but all this was achieved by the exploratory use of my trusty little homeopathic kit that we made in Term 1 of Homeopathy. Kali Phos was my lifesaver when I would be sitting down at an assignment for hours on end until my brain felt like mush and my assignment still felt like it was a fragmented mess. It

I've been thinking a lot about men lately….oh my goodness, get your mind out of the gutter….. I was more meaning I think many of them are quietly navigating enormous changes and rarely get the opportunity to talk about them. Talk therapy ain't their jam, but they actually do enjoy getting things off their chest - in their way…. Over the years in clinic, I've sat with plenty of women who can tell me exactly how they're feeling. They know what upset them, what disappointed them

People from many walks of life enter my practice. I feel extremely blessed each day to be offering the small but effective benefits of homeopathy into the daily lives of many. Aconite has been one of those remedies that has come in very handy for me to prescribe to people who suffer a sudden sense of feeling overwhelmed by their circumstances. I have found it useful in combination with my constitutional prescribing as a way to help with acute panic or stress. The link below i

It’s such a common part of childhood—red, watery, irritated eyes as children dive headfirst into life. Sometimes it’s from dust, pollen, viral exposure, or overstimulated immune systems. Other times, it can reflect emotional or energetic imbalances: moments when boundaries are fuzzy, or something isn't being seen clearly. In homeopathy, we don’t just treat the eye—we listen to the whole picture. Here are a few remedies to help differentiate: Pulsatilla For gentle children wh

Hay fever shows up differently for everyone. Some people get streaming eyes and sneezing, others get blocked sinuses, headaches, throat irritation, fatigue or digestive reactivity. Homeopathy works by matching the expression, not the label — so here are the core remedy pictures in a tidy, flowing format. Allium cepa suits the classic streaming hay fever with burning nasal discharge, bland tears, raw red nose and constant sneezing, usually worse indoors and better in fresh air

Tongue ties are becoming increasingly recognised in newborns, and many families find themselves navigating a mix of assessments, opinions and emotions. While surgical release is one pathway, a holistic perspective looks at the whole baby — their nervous system, feeding environment, emotional field, inherited patterns, and the family’s experience. This blog explores tongue ties from a gentle, whole‑system lens: what they are, how they’re identified, the deeper patterns sometim

A Journey Beyond the Seven Chakras If you’ve journeyed through the 7‑month Chakra Immersion, you already know how transformative the lower and upper chakras can be. The first seven chakras teach us how to be human — how to clear, stabilise, integrate, and embody. They take us through the density, the shadow, the ego layers, the identity patterns, and the emotional architecture that shape our everyday lives. But eventually, you reach the Crown… and something in you knows there

We’re in a moment where relationships are being recalibrated. I have been saying that if you are in the same relationship since 2012, then congratulations - you are deeply entrenched in growth together that is transformative and supportive all at once, one where you are learning by reflection of each other, both how to see your own patterns and how to hand back those that are not yours. Now I am not saying the rest of us that are still either moving through different relation

Planet Earth is extraordinary in the amount of cultural wisdom it holds. You could spend lifetimes studying the teachings of different lineages and still only touch the surface. Like many starseeds, I’ve often felt displaced — but when I land inside ancient teachings, something in me aligns. There’s a remembering. It was the same when I read my first homeopathic book, The Science of Homeopathy by George Vithoulkas — I wasn’t learning something new; I was remembering something

If you’ve been journeying with me for a while, you’ll remember the conversation we had about Folliculinum — that wild, electric, Maiden‑phase remedy that shows up when we’ve given too much, poured ourselves out, lost our centre, and forgotten our own rhythm. Yes, Follicullinum is one of the main way that I can really work with regulating the menstrual cycle, working on fertility and balancing female hormones in general (alongside constitutional remedies). However, folliculi

Sometimes we wake up and realise a habit has quietly taken root. One minute it’s a harmless little thing, and the next minute it’s woven itself into our day with surprising strength. I’m no stranger to this. I can absolutely be hooked on movement, activity/restlessness, and chocolate. And whilst you may be like…’umm Martine, get a grip, it's not heroin, I am very much as watching the energy I do something from and my need for activity, movement etc. has definitely come from s

Hormones are the body’s chemical messengers, produced by endocrine glands and released into the bloodstream to regulate nearly every function—from growth and metabolism to mood, reproduction and stress response. Think of them as a finely tuned orchestra: each hormone has its own part to play, ensuring your body’s systems work in harmony. When hormones balance, we experience vitality, emotional stability and smooth physiological rhythms. But when levels swing too high or dip t

Every year, the 8:8 Lion’s Gate Portal opens as a powerful alignment between the Sun in Leo and the rising of Sirius, our spiritual sun. This gateway is known for activating higher consciousness, heart expansion, and deep soul remembrance. But to understand the significance of 8:8, we need to look at the sequence of portals that lead us here — the 6.6, 7.7, and the original awakening timeline that began with the 12.12.12 portal. What Are the Numerical Portals? These portals

One of the things I love most about homeopathy is that it shows you where your autonomy has gone long before you consciously realise you’ve handed it over. People often think homeopathy is about symptoms — the stomach upset, the sleeplessness, the irritability, eczema, high blood pressure — and yes, it is absolutely fabulous for all the physical symptoms. But homeopathy is actually about the pattern underneath those symptoms — the original misalignment that created the expres
