Often, conventional medicine view people as complicated machines that break under pressure. Their treatment is aimed at stopping the symptoms: aspirin for a fever; decongestants for mucous discharges; medicine to suppress coughs; cortisone to prevent skin eruptions; anti-depressants to block anxiety. Common to all of these examples is the belief that the symptoms themselves are the problem, not focusing on the reasons why the symptoms are present. Homeopathy seeks to treat the person behind the symptoms.
Homeopathic remedies are small pellets or liquids that are taken and dissolved in the mouth. They are made from microscopically small amounts of natural substances derived from plant, animal or mineral sources. The remedies are prepared in FDA approved pharmacies and act as a catalyst, stimulating the body to heal itself.
The new homeopathic patient is sent a detailed medical questionnaire to complete and return before their initial consultation. The initial homeopathic consultation is typically 1 ½-2 hours long. During that time the details and symptoms of their main complaint as well as symptoms on the mental, emotional, general and physical levels will be covered. This is to find a remedy tailored to who you are- which means two patients with the same conditions may receive entirely different substances.
Dr. Norris started studying homeopathy in 1998 and has completed the rigorous certification process required by the Council for Homeopathic Certification.

My symptoms began over three years ago and worsened gradually until I found myself wincing from even the smallest movements. I spent a week on the couch this winter in tears. Shortly afterwards, Kathleen prescribed the smallest dose of a homeopathic treatment I have ever seen. I took the treatment that evening and the next day I woke to a great amount of energy. I practically ran my regular route for what had become a painful and slow walk. This larger than life feeling diminished throughout the day, and with it, all symptoms of fibromyalgia.
Three months later, I feel absolutely no pain.
Kathleen explained a bit about the science of homeopathy and I have felt it’s healing effects. For me, her remedies have been nothing short of miraculous.“
