interview for a newsletter

I was recently asked to do an interview for the newsletter at the school. The version that gets posted is shorten but here's what I wrote:

1. Please give a brief intro of who you are: where you are from, what you do, etc.
My name is Patricia (xxxxx). People that know me call me “Tisha”. I was born in Canada. Having done many different things with my life including working in Costume within the movie industry for a huge chunk of my life, I find myself in Homeopathy. I loved my film career and found it to be a great fit for the organized, attention to detail person that I am. When I came into the United States, I was unable to work in California for some time, from the immigration process, to Costume Union regulations it became evident my career had died. Recently, I managed to downsize life quite considerably and have been fortunate to be able to look for a new journey.
 2. What was the spark that got you interested in homeopathy?

One evening in the new downsized joint, while having two girls over for dinner, we talked about what I would do next. I laughed out loud when they both told me to go back to school. What would I study was the question of the eve. I said that I was really only interested in health and nutrition and since nutrition was taken by one of the girls at the table, I said, “ you know, I think I like the principles of Homeopathy”. The next day, that spark you asked about, seemed to take me to my computer immediately to do the research. I don’t do morning sparks.

I found this school referred to as LASH (Los Angeles School of Homeopathy) and researched it. Then I found a Classical Homeopath for myself. She helped restore my Vital Force.

3. Did you have any profound experiences with remedies? Can you tell us more?

I have had several profound experiences with Homeopathy.

Just before my first visit to England, 20 years or so, I had been diagnosed with cervical cancer. I was told that I needed a Hysterectomy. I was in shock. I had a planned trip visiting a Costume Designer in London who used a homeopath so she immediately, upon arriving in England, had me off to see her. I don’t remember what she gave me but I do know this: My test results were different upon my return to Canada. I kept my uterus and carried on with life. That was my first experience. Cut to a last winter (a year ago now); I had some issues with IBS and had been through a tough time, too much stress in my life. I was having weird issues and at the same time, I had that dinner party. After questioning the director at LASH about a hundred times about the course etc. I also asked her for a recommendation for a practitioner. I do not have those issues AT ALL anymore. I also have had so many profound experiences since doing my Constitutional remedy, it makes me wonder how I got this far in my life at all. I often say this to my friends and family, “ go find a Classical Homeopath and discover what your constitutional would be; if it doesn't produce profound changes in you, I will pay the bill”. That is how convinced I am!

4. If you could ask Samuel Hahnemann any question, what would it be?

I would ask Dr. Samuel Hahnemann where he would have concentrated his study further had his life been extended to present day.  

5. Pretend it's five years into the future, you have a career in homeopathy. What would future you say to present you? What sort of advice do you think you will give yourself?

Continue to heal thy self. Search for knowledge. Dare to know!

Since writing this interview, I decided to try to find that Homeopath that I visited in England all those years ago. Through Facebook, I tracked down that Costume Designer I have been in touch with and she put me in touch with Shaun. Wonderful this technology we have in life! Shaun remembered me and remembered the remedy she gave to me when at the time, I really did not understand what Homeopathy was. Life has a wonderful treasure trove of miracles that is for sure!
