12 March: Taryn Jacobs Menzies, Fertility
It is estimated that 1 in 6 couples in the UK are having problems conceiving and many of these couples are seeking professional help. In this talk Taryn will discuss a variety of homoeopathic approaches that can be used in supporting couples who are trying to conceive as well as take a look at some other mind - body approaches to fertility.
16 April: Penny Edwards, Sensation Method Intro
In this short introduction to the Sensation method, Penny will give an overview of the advantages of the case taking process used in this method, and offer hints, tips and techniques to ensure you have obtained a complete picture of the patient, even if you don’t analyse in the Sensation way. She’ll give examples of the language of the main kingdoms from her own cases, and outline how to differentiate between the main 3 kingdoms, and how to differentiate whether your patient or client needs a remedy from the Plant, Animal or Mineral kingdom.
Penny has been involved in homeopathy full time since 1995; dividing her time between practice, work at Helios Pharmacy and teaching. She also works with Kent Homeopathic Associates, which produce MacRepertory and ReferenceWorks (which she finds invaluable with this method) and training people to use the programmes.
14 May: Caroline Gaskin MCPH; Changing Times, Changing Polycrests
In this lecture Caroline will be exploring how our use of the polycrest remedies that we know and love is changing. Patients arrive on increasingly complex drug prescriptions and we are all exposed to more toxins, eat denatured and de-mineralised foods and consume synthetic hormones & elements that weren’t present in our diets 50 years ago. We need to adjust our perspective about what we are made of and what are our maintaining causes for ill health. The emphasis on what polycrests we needto use is changing as result. Bring your repertories!
11 June: Clare Walters, Pain Management for Practitioners
The Pain Release Technique is a simple mindfulness meditation. It brings profound and immediate results in clients suffering chronic physical pain such as fibromyalgia, arthritis and wounds as well as emotional pain such as acute anxiety, grief, anger and depression. It takes only a few minutes and can be used during the consultation to:
- bring immediate relief from mental anguish or physical pain
- ground the client so that the pain can be viewed more objectively
- open the client to a deeper awareness and understanding of their pain
It can be taught to the client who can then use it when they need it. Feedback is very positive with most clients enjoying better sleep, less pain and a more positive mood and less reliance on pain killers, sleeping pills and other medication.
By the end of the workshop you will be:
- confident in using the technique
- aware of the depth of the process
- clear about the benefits of using the technique in your own practice
