Author

Karen Allen,

RC, RSHom(NA), CCH

has been practicing homeopathy in Seattle, Washington since 1994.

She studied formally at the Pacific Academy of Homeopathic Medicine in Berkeley, California, and now teaches homeopathic repertory and case analysis for Bastyr University.

In addition, she serves as president of the Council for Homeopathic Certification, a non-profit organization that offers a national certification in homeopathy.

Karen writes:
As a classical homeopath, I believe that the most effective form of health care arises from a holistic view of the entire person - physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, spiritually - in a professional atmosphere.

My goal is to use homeopathy to reinforce and strengthen the natural mechanisms of health that exist in each of us already. I evaluate the entire condition of each person from a homeopathic perspective, seeking to bring about a state of balance that creates a wellness greater than just an absence of illness.

I work with individuals and couples who are proactively responsible for their own health, in co-operation with the individual’s primary care physician. I encourage an understanding of homeopathic concepts of health and homeopathic self-care for common illnesses for my clients, and view much of my work as client education.

My approach is the time-tested classical methodology of matching individualized symptoms of the person to known characteristics of a homeopathic medicine to define the single most applicable medicine at any given time. I also discuss the use of herbs, mineral supplements, exercises and lifestyle choices as they pertain to the individual's health.
