Jon Didymus PhD DSH RSHom

I became interested in homeopathy in 1991 when I became very ill after writing my doctoral thesis at university. I was impressed with the effect of homeopathy not just on my symptoms but also on other important aspects of my life.

In 1995, I started training at The School of Homeopathy in Devon and I received my diploma (DSH) 4 years later. In 2002, I became a fully registered member of The Society of Homeopaths* (RSHom) the main professional body in the UK. I practice according to their Code of Ethics.

I continue to develop my professional practice and skills by going to many seminars and I am currently attending advanced post-graduate training with Dr Sachindra Joshi and Dr Bhawisha Joshi from Bombay, India.

In addition, I am involved in regular supervision with 2 close colleagues to get fresh ideas with difficult cases and I have a specialist supervisor who provides feedback on the quality of my work.

I teach at homeopathic colleges including the School of Homeopathy (Devon), the International School of Homeopathy (Japan), Neals Yard Remedies Homeopathy course (London). I have also taught beginners courses at the University of Bath.

Being up to date with the latest developments in homeopathy allows me to offer you the very best treatment and many new remedies.

Antonia Wrigley BSc MBBS

From a young age, I was always interested in making healing potions. Whilst at medical school, I became interested in the effects of lifestyle and diet on health. I took a year out to study for a nutrition degree (BSc) and also studied fitness training.

I qualified as a doctor in 1994 and worked in the NHS for a year as a junior doctor and later on part-time, providing hospital locum cover in various specialties. Since 1994 I have been exploring the field of complementary and alternative medicine (CAMS) and decided to re-train as a medical herbalist with The College of Phytotherapy.

In 1996, I took some time out to treat my own chronic fatigue. This enabled me to explore many therapies from the client’s perspective and gave me time to gain much valuable life experience.

I gained my Diploma in Herbal Medicine in 2003, and also have professional qualifications in Aromatherapy and Massage from The Institute of Traditional Herbal Medicine and Aromatherapy.

I returned to hospital medicine in 2006 with the intention of training in General Practice. I still see private clients occasionally and I am happy to refer on to my colleagues.
