- About Me -

 

I began my homeopathic practice after graduating from the Canadian College of Homeopathic Medicine (Formerly TSHM) in 2001. Over the years my work has grown to include herbal medicine, biochemic tissue salts, nutritional guidance, and compassionate conversation as part of the healing process. I deepened my relationship with plant medicine through formal clinical herbalist training with Marianne Beacon thorough Elderberry Academy from 2019 to 2021. It has been a privilege to support many people as they rediscover their health, resilience, and sense of wholeness.

My calling to natural medicine began when I was very young. As a teenager, I was struck by the wisdom of nature and the way it offers both nourishment and healing. That intuition deepened when I discovered Hygieia: A Woman’s Herbal by Jeannine Parvati at age sixteen. This book felt like confirmation of something I had known in my bones since I was a young child; nature has answers and healing for us if we're willing to listen. Soon after, I immersed myself in herbalism, Ayurveda, Transcendental Meditation, and yoga, eventually finding my way to homeopathy. I have also trained as a Doula and had the honour of supporting a number of women and infants as a homeopathic doula, offering care through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period.

Natural medicine has not only shaped my professional life but has also been a constant companion for myself and my family. From supporting me through anxiety, grief, shyness, and pregnancy to helping us navigate everyday challenges such as headaches, fevers, and injuries, homeopathy and herbs have been a steady anchor and a profound gift in our lives.

In addition to my private practice, I serve as Administrative and Admissions Director, lecturer, and clinical supervisor at the Canadian College of Homeopathic Medicine. Teaching and mentoring bring me great joy, allowing me to pass on this healing art to the next generation of practitioners.

Outside of my practice, I am a mother, musician, maker, gardener, permaculture enthusiast, and nature-lover. These roles continually remind me that healing is not only about resolving symptoms, but about living fully, creatively, and in connection with the world around us.

Whether you are navigating a long-standing health concern, moving through a significant life transition, or simply seeking to feel more vibrant and resilient, I would be honoured to support you on your healing journey. Together, we can work gently and deeply to restore balance, vitality, and a renewed sense of self. I am available for consultations with adults and children online or by phone. If you feel ready to begin, you are welcome to reach out by email or book your appointment online.

Yours truly,
Andrea Deal DSHM
Homeopath & Clinical Herbalist
