Client Profile
-
Client: Sarah (Post-menopausal) (Pseudonym used to protect identity)
-
Background: Nursing background
-
Presenting State: Severe anxiety, feeling "not in her own body," pervasive fear of death and everyday situations (including an inability to travel, fly, or visit familiar places without a sense of impending doom), a constant feeling of pressure to comply, difficulty saying "no" to demands, and fears of "going mad" or losing control.
-
Physical Symptoms: Throat closing sensations, hypersensitivity triggered by combined oestrogen and progestogen HRT, which was intensifying her overall symptoms rather than supporting her wellbeing.
Background & The Turning Point
Sarah, a post-menopausal woman with a professional background in nursing, reached a crisis point when conventional HRT (combined oestrogen and progestogen) dramatically over-sensitized her body. Instead of bringing relief, the medication exacerbated her physical and emotional distress, triggering acute anxiety, a sensation of her throat closing under pressure, and overwhelming feelings of fear and a lack of control.
Having heard about homeopathy from a family friend, Sarah decided to reach out. True to her practice ethos of ensuring every patient finds the right therapeutic fit, Lisa offered an initial discovery call and encouraged Sarah to speak with at least two homeopaths to ensure a comfortable personal connection. Sarah ultimately chose to partner with Lisa for her healing journey.
The Homeopathic Approach: Looking at the Whole Person
In classical homeopathy, treatment addresses the whole person rather than a single label or disease.
-
The Initial Consultation (90+ Minutes): The journey began with a comprehensive health evaluation. This included a detailed review of current signs, symptoms, recent blood tests, and an extensive personal health history. The consultation also explored family medical history (parents and grandparents), major life milestones (both positive and traumatic), and past surgical operations or significant physical incidents.
-
A Gentle, Tailored Protocol: Due to Sarah’s heightened physical sensitivities, treatment required a delicate approach. Following their third appointment, Lisa and Sarah recognized that water served as Sarah's primary vehicle and medicine. Remedies were administered via water to ensure her vital force was met gently yet worked deeply in the right direction.
Collaboration, Partnership, and Progress
Over the course of their work together since the beginning of the year, Lisa and Sarah partnered closely as Sarah navigated this major life transition:
-
Emotional Alignment & Boundaries: Much of the work involved accepting her current life stage, aligning with where she wants to go, minimizing severe anxiety, and empowering Sarah to set boundaries and say "no" to external demands.
-
Continuous Support: Beyond formal sessions, ongoing WhatsApp support allowed Sarah to build trust in her own feelings during acute moments. Sarah was also provided with a bespoke homeopathic home kit to manage acute symptoms while supporting her deeper, long-term health journey.
-
Transitioning off HRT: Through her own empowered choice—and backed by her nursing background—Sarah successfully transitioned off HRT. She is now thriving wonderfully on classical homeopathic remedies and natural support.
(Note: While Sarah chose to phase out HRT, Lisa regularly partners with clients who prefer to stay on HRT, using homeopathy to successfully minimize and manage any secondary side effects or heightened symptoms).
Client Outcome & Reflection
Today, Sarah is doing amazingly well. She has rediscovered her confidence, eliminated the feelings of impending doom that restricted her travel and daily life, and is deeply enthusiastic about the benefits of classical homeopathy.
Speaking with Others:
Sarah is exceptionally pleased with her progress and has kindly expressed that she is very happy to speak informally with other women who would like to understand if homeopathy is right for them, or simply hear a little bit about what her journey through this transition was like. (If you would like to connect with someone who has walked this path, please mention this during your discovery call).
