About

Lilian was born in a small village in the south of the Netherlands and visits us here in Galway.

She went to study at the Dutch Academy For Natural Medicine at the age of 19 and qualified as a young Homeopath in 1982. Then, she spent a few years both working in Holland and traveling to India, Nepal and Tibet. She completed a 3-year part-time study at the European University in traditional Chinese Medicine, where she learned about Chinese medical philosophy and acupuncture. She developed a great interest in Tibetan Buddhism and medicine. Following this passion, she spent some time living in Dharamsala and studying at the Tibetan Medical Institute.

In her work as a homeopath, Lilian uses the influence of both Chinese medicine and Tibetan medicine. She first started working in Ireland in 1989 while pregnant with her first daughter. At this time, she was treating a lot of pregnant women and young children. Because of this, she started specialising in fertility treatment with homeopathy, which she loved and found very rewarding.

Back in those days, there were not many people practising Homeopathy in Ireland, but it became increasingly popular. Lilian was part of the group of people that took the initiative to set up the Irish Society of Homeopaths. As time went on and more people became used to homeopathy, Lilian was treating a variety of ailments, both chronic and acute, and both physical and mental/emotional problems. From 2004-2005, she did a part-time degree in Psychology and Counselling at NUIG.

To this day, Lilian has treated a huge variety of people and ailments, in both young and old. She continues to study, and her big interest in the past few years is in Spagyric medicine, which is an old form of medicine based on the principles of Alchemy and Paracelsus. She loves teaching and empowering people, so they have a better understanding about their own health. She also loves to teach people how to use homeopathy for themselves.

Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a method of healing which has been around for years, and is based on the principle of treating Like with Like. What that means is, that if you have certain ailments or symptoms, there is always something in nature that matches those symptoms. What is important in homeopathy, is that you take the totality of symptoms, in other words, not just one detail, or one symptom but all of them on a physical, emotional and mental level.

That is why when you visit a homeopath, you will be asked questions about your physical, emotional, and your mental wellbeing. The Homeopath then creates an image of a total being, as Lilian says to her clients. It is a bit like a Jigsaw, after you piece all the symptoms together, you create a picture, and then the homeopath can find a homeopathic remedy that matches your unique pattern and will look for remedies in either the plant, animal, mineral, or other kingdom. By giving a remedy that is a total match, you actually activate or unlock the healing energy because the remedy works like a key in a lock.

Because we only use remedies that are diluted and potentised (energised), they are very safe and with no toxicity. Homeopathy can be used from birth till old age.
