In this episode, I’m joined by classically trained homeopath Krista Rivet for a deeper conversation about homeopathy—what it is, how it’s used, and why it continues to be widely misunderstood.

Rather than staying at the surface level of “homeopathy basics,” we explore the nuance behind this practice: how remedies are selected, why two people with the same diagnosis may require completely different approaches, and what it actually means to treat the individual rather than just the condition.

We also discuss some of the most common misunderstandings around homeopathy (especially in real-world use), along with the role of emotional and mental states in the healing process, and how practitioners think about supporting the body as a whole system.

This conversation is both educational and reflective, and is intended for anyone curious about homeopathy, whether you’re completely new to it or already have experience but want a deeper understanding of how it works in practice.

Topics covered include:

  •  What homeopathy is and how it differs from conventional approaches 
  •  Why it is often misunderstood 
  •  The importance of individualized treatment 
  •  Emotional and mental health in relation to physical symptoms 
  •  Common misconceptions and mistakes in usage 
  •  How homeopathy can be used alongside other approaches 

Krista Rivet is a classically trained homeopath based in Canada with a background in psychology and health. She works extensively with women and children and continues to expand her studies through ongoing education and training.
