EMMA’S Background IN Health

Emma qualified as a nurse in Bristol, England, in the 80s before the medical profession was directed by the pharmaceutical industry. When gaining a Shiatsu diploma in Japan, she became interested in holistic healthcare, which generally speaking, mostly originates from Eastern philosophies.

Following her return to the UK, Emma’s 16 month old daughter scolded herself with third degree burns and was told she required skin graft surgery. Being a burns trained nurse, Emma bravely chose an alternative route; homeopathy.

Witnessing the incredible results of her daughter’s recovery, Emma began training at The Welsh School of Homeopathy and graduated in 2001. For her thesis, she conducted a proving (the homeopathic equivalent of a clinical trial) with a remedy she has worked extensively with for over twenty years. This remedy is Carcinosin Melanoma, with its main symptoms being fear, fatigue, suppressed anger and control; symptoms that the Covid-19 pandemic has left us with.

In 2010, Emma self-published the data from the proving with the help of two other homeopaths; her sister, Teresa, and Peter Fraser, a renowned homeopath for his work in collating homeopathic clinical data. Although the book, The Scars of Restriction, was named in 2000, new homeopaths will benefit from studying the remedy’s correlation with the mental and physical effects of lockdowns in 2020.

After graduating as a homeopath, Emma opened The Natural Health Service, a multidisciplinary alternative healthcare clinic. During this time, she created a birth pool hire company and worked as a homeopathic doula, attending births at home and in both the obstetric and midwife led maternity hospitals. Here, she represented Complementary and Alternative Medicine with The Homebirth Working Party at Singleton hospital, Swansea. Today, Emma attends births virtually, prescribing homeopathic remedies for her pregnant patients. She believes that we should be working towards preventing unnecessary intervention during childbirth because, in her experience, it causes an array of issues for both the baby and the mother.

Early in her homeopathic career, Emma represented the homeopathic charity, Sol, working in the Community Drug and Alcohol Team, an NHS substance misuse clinic. Those four years gave her a great foundation in managing chronic disease.

Colleagues from both maternity services and CDAT were keen to employ Emma, having witnessed homeopathy healing acute and chronic conditions. However, there was a reluctance from senior positions to embrace homeopathy, despite the evidence of positive results.

In 2007, Emma completed an intensive clinical training programme in a Homeopathic Medical College and Hospital in Chennai, India. Led by Dr. A.U. Ramakrishnan, the honorary homeopathic physician to the President of India and the co-author of the book, A Homeopathic Approach to Cancer.

Emma was keen to follow Dr. Ramakrishnan’s work, having watched her mother heal herself of cancer using various natural and alternative therapies. In 1998, her mother declined conventional treatment for a grade six malignant melanoma, which had metastasized. Her oncologist gave a prognosis of six months left to live, yet she went on to live until 2005, having died from a stroke and no trace of cancer.

Practising Pilates as a young mother, Emma soon realised its place in holistic healthcare. She went on to train as a Pilates instructor in 2011 and bought the company in 2017, specialising in back care. She later trained with Peak Pilates in 2020 to incorporate equipment into her portfolio and continues to ensure ongoing training to enhance her expertise.
