My Life in Coxley, Wells

  • I have lived in Somerset since 2001 and met my husband here.  We have a growing family and have just bought a larger dinning table to accommodate us when we are all together.
  • We have two mini lop rabbits and spend quite a bit of time to and from the riding stables with our youngest daughter.
  • We have a camper van and love to take off to the hills or coast to get closer to nature and pursue outdoor activities whether that be on foot, bikes, surf boards, paddle boards, horses or in a canoe.
  • I enjoy growing vegetables and having flowers in our garden
  • Occasionally I paint with acrylic and I’m finding time to write which is a major breakthrough for me as I have found it difficult to get pen to paper for a long time.
  • There is always a reading book or two on the go,  fiction but always some kind of self-help book too.  I’ve recently had a big declutter and been tested for food intolerance to enhance my life.

Homeopathy Story

  • I first became aware of Homeopathy in the Wells Journal in 2006.  I read an article written by homeopaths from The Remedy Centre.  I cut it out as it struck a chord with me.
  • In 2007 my daughter was ill and was about to be admitted to hospital again with a chest infection and I remembered the article I had read and was fed up with antibiotic and inhaler prescriptions and so I took her in my arms, hot with fever, and knocked on the Remedy Centre door.  We were seen that day and my daughter was given a homeopathic remedy and we worked closely with her homeopath for a 6 month period, taking different remedies and she got better with no re appearance of a chest infection.
  • It was such a pleasure to see my daughter gain health and become robust that I felt I too would benefit from treatment for my lingering grief, which I did.   As a family, we turn to homeopathy first now for our health care.
  • In 2008 I was made redundant and took the time to think deeply about what I wanted to do next.  In 2009 I signed up for a 4 year professional study of Homeopathy and have been practicing at The Remedy Centre since 2013.

Testimonials

Marisa Taylor, Somerset- Alice reviewed my youngest son when he was around 12 months old. He seemed to have had a cold and bad chest (and therefore continuous streams of snot!) for months without let up and was therefore not sleeping well every night. We saw Alice on several occasions and her interest, knowledge and attention to detail are second to none – and having a child herself means she is able to communicate simultaneously with adults and children! Orrin is now much healthier and generally sleeps much more peacefully – and because Alice explains everything so clearly it means I myself am much more aware of causes and symptoms and have more confidence to deal with them in an effective way. Thank you!!

Nicola Parkinson, Bristol – Alice is calm, thoughtful and has a considered approach to diagnosis meaning that our daughter’s concerns were identified and treated quickly and successfully. We saw Alice over a period of 3 months and now we see her only when we feel an Alice ‘top-up’ is required. I would highly recommend Alice.
