Introduced to the practice by her uncle, a Homeopathic GP in Yorkshire, Emily’s passion was sparked when she used it successfully to treat her children—and later witnessed its remarkable results in animals. A graduate of University College Dublin in Veterinary Medicine (1990), she has been using homeopathy in her practice for over 20 years. She earned her MFHom from the Integrative School of Medicine in Bristol in 2018, later qualified through the Irish School of Homeopathy to treat animal guardians, and is currently pursuing postgraduate studies at The Dynamis School for homeopaths. Outside of her veterinary work, Emily loves music festivals, hiking, sea swimming, and traveling in her campervan with her dog. She is the proud mother of three adult children and shares her home with her dog and a “cosmic” cat named Betty Boop. Her mission is to inspire and educate more veterinarians about the power of homeopathy and to unite the profession internationally, supporting the healing of both animals and their guardians.
