About Poppy Altmann
My passion for homeopathy began in 1999 when my first child was born. During my professional training I set up a student clinic in Richmond with three colleagues. I also became a founder member of the South West London Homeopaths, an organisation providing seminars and peer support for professional homeopaths in the area. I graduated from
The College of Practical Homeopathy in June 2006.
My training included a good grounding in nutrition, naturopathy and the use of herbal tinctures in low doses - homeopathically prescribed. I am a supervisor and marker for students at the college. I speak some Spanish and French and understand a lot more than I speak!
I am registered with the
Society of Homeopaths.
I am available for appointments from 4.30-7.30 on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. You can drop in for a chat between my scheduled appointments on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Call first to check availability and I will recommend a remedy for you to buy from a health food shop if necessary, or give other naturopathic advice. Call me on 07957 457 171 to see when I have a space that day.
E-mail me for information about any upcoming talks and for information on previous talks including the use of homeopathy in Fevers, Sore Throats, Coughs and Flu.
People with acute illnesses such as ear infections, tonsilitis, coughs, cold and flu can be treated with homeopathy and it is possible to avoid the use of antibiotics in these situations.
I have been taught to treat people with a wide range of conditions and have helped people with diabetes, thyroid problems, cancer, depression, eczema, asthma, insomnia, anxiety, eating disorders, weight problems, childhood behavioural problems to mention a few. Homeopathy always treats the person, not the disease.
Pregnancy and childbirth I have been present at two labours using homeopathic remedies as well as giving advice by phone to birth partners. I have a lot of experience helping women and their babies in the postnatal period. Homeopathy can be truly amazing at enabling women to heal themselves both physically and emotionally after the trauma of childbirth. I can help women with morning sickness, varicose veins and haemorrhoids, heartburn, miscarriage, avoiding complications during birth, pain management, post natal depression, scarring and stretch marks, engorgement, mastitis and cracked nipples, thrush and milk supply. I can also give advice and resources on vaccination issues.
Homeopathy is also very effective for treating newborn babies. Please have a look at the Testimonials page to see how homeopathy can help young children, new mothers and babies.
