Kate:

This is the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast, episode number 144.

Joette:

Hi, I’m Joette Calabrese, and I welcome you to our health care movement — yours, mine and the countless men and women across the globe who have retaken control of their families’ health with Practical Homeopathy®.

So, for the next few minutes, let’s link our arms as I demystify homeopathy — what was once considered an esoteric paradigm — into an understandable, reproducible, safe and effective health care solution available to all.

This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®.

Introduction: Podcast 144 — Moms with Moxie: Success Stories from Horses to Humans

Kate: (01:00 )

Hi, my name is Kate, and I want to welcome you back to the podcast. Whether you’re new here or have been using homeopathy for a long time, we are so glad that you’re here, and I can’t wait for you to meet our guest today. Her name is Jane.

Hi, Jane.

Jane:

Hi, Kate. Thank you for having me.

Kate:

Yeah, welcome.

Jane:

I’m very humbled.

Kate:

As am I. I look forward to hearing your stories. Well, actually, I’ve heard it, but those who are listening have not heard your story yet. And so, let’s just dive right in.

Tell us where you’re from and a little bit about yourself.

Jane:

Well, I’m almost 60 years old. I’ve been a physical therapist for over 30 years. I’ve been married for 30 years, born and raised on a farm in the Midwest, and after high school, I left during the farm crisis.

I went to California as a nanny, went to college to be a physical therapist, stayed in California and traveled for 10 years.

Then I came back home to help my dad and my mom when my dad was ill, started dating my childhood family friend, and we got married.

He had bought his family farm that he was raised on, and it’s an organic farm. So, we’ve been organically farming for many years.

We raised nine children. We have one child still at home, and we homeschooled them all through high school, and we have 12 grandchildren.

And gradually through those years, we transitioned from what the mainstream medical was to using more alternative medical, natural health, and now, homeopathy, which has been great.

We feel that we love the homeopathy because it helps empower us to take care of ourselves and our families. Doesn’t mean we don’t use mainstream medical when we need it.

My intro to homeopathy, since I lived in California, I heard of homeopathy, dabbled in it over the years, using Arnica mainly. That was the main thing that seemed to always come back to, like using it topically or with the pellets.

Probably 15 or 20 years ago, there was a mom’s homeschool meeting which featured two homeschool moms, and it was about 40 minutes away from me. And they were speaking about homeopathy, but it was classical homeopathy. I loved it. I thought it was so interesting, but I just could not wrap my head around classical homeopathy.

So, I abandoned, basically, my journey with homeopathy at that time.

Fast forward about two or over two years ago, I belonged to a homeschool email group. And a homeopath, Wendy, on her journey, she introduced us to homeopathy. And she invited us to a Gateway I class in homeopathy — one of Joette’s classes, the first class, I guess.

And I took that with my sister and two of my daughters. And basically, I was hooked.

Right away took Gateway II. Started using it right away. I still practice some physical therapy, and now I’ve integrated using homeopathy. And it’s really helped my practice quite a bit as far as making suggestions to people: what they can use for homeopathy to help them with their own healing while they’re healing from injuries that I helped them with, also with manual therapy and exercise.

Homeopathy and the Amish Community

Kate: (04:28 )

So, Jane, you have a very interesting story about the clients that you work with, and who you see, and how you integrate homeopathy with physical therapy. Can you tell us a little bit more about that?

Jane:

Yes. We live in a very rural area, and I largely serve the Amish communities in and around our state. And there’s one very close to us, about 10 miles away. So that’s the one I mainly serve.

There’s 200 families in that community, and then there’s three other communities outlying about 40 minutes away in different directions. So, they are very familiar and always interested in alternative medical. And they’ve been introduced to homeopathy in the past, especially their parents and the older ones, but they were unable to obtain it at some point from the companies they used to order from.

So, now they’re so happy to have homeopathy back. In fact, Wendy hosted a on-site, in-person Gateway I in one day at the Amish community for about 30 different women that attended.

That’s kind of catapulted my practicing and knowledge of homeopathy so quickly because of being able to use it so often and the experience.

Kate:

So, you’ve told me that when you go, and you have an appointment, that you talk about therapy, but you also educate about homeopathy as well, and you get sometimes lots of calls. Give us an idea about how many people you help and how busy you are helping others.

Jane:

Well, I’m definitely as busy as I want to be, but I work about 20 hours a week. So, I see about 20, depending on how long it takes for one session of physical therapy and massage. But I often get many calls.

So, in the Amish community, of course, they have several children … many of them do. So, I see a lot of prenatal visits for physical therapy and massage. And with that being said, the pregnancy protocols, I give them information on that.

Several use the Calc carbonica, the protocol that they have for the eight months, and the Pulsatilla at the last month.

I have two daughters that had breach pregnancies toward the end. So even my own daughters, I mean, they use it all of the time.

But one of ’em, I consulted with the homeopath. She said she could start taking it at 33 weeks — the Pulsatilla — and each time it’s been a hundred percent turning those babies, which might have in the past been a C-section.

Kate:

That’s very exciting.

Jane:

Yes.
