About Me
My name is Irina Filimonova, from Ukraine, and currently residing in the UK in the city of Reading.I initially pursued education as a political scientist, earning my scientific degree in 2000 after completing studies at the University in Odessa, Ukraine. My foray into homeopathy commenced 13 years ago, triggered by the health challenges my first daughter encountered. Up until the age of 2.5, she enjoyed robust health. However, a bout of bronchitis necessitated antibiotic treatment, and another occurrence followed just four months later.It was during this period that I recognized the limitations of traditional treatments—they could alleviate symptoms temporarily but failed to address the root cause. Fast forward to the present; my daughter, now 14.5 years old, hasn't taken a single conventional medication since. She maintains her health through occasional mild colds, either self-resolving or treated with homeopathy.My youngest daughter, at 11 years old, also thrives on homeopathic care, growing up as a healthy, joyful, and balanced child. Personally, I've dealt with intermittent skin rashes since the age of 12, stemming from psychological trauma after my parents' divorce. This underscores the significance of addressing triggers that can lead to diseases and disorders in our bodies, a holistic approach championed by homeopathy.Fortunately, my journey started on a solid foundation without the need for extensive searching, thanks to my enrollment in the George Vithoulkas International Academy of Classical Homeopathy in Greece—the cradle of my homeopathic education. In 2019, I successfully graduated and pursued postgraduate studies, delving into additional modules on Organon and Difficult Cases. Regular attendance at summer seminars in Alonissos and active participation in webinars, including those organized by the International Academy of Classical Homeopathy (IACH) and Erik Van Woensel's classes, contribute to my ongoing progress.A noteworthy mentor in my journey is Peter Zacharias, whose teachings aid my continual improvement. Lastly, my deepest gratitude goes to my primary mentors—George Vithoulkas and Atul and Latika Jaggi—for their invaluable contributions to the global advancement and promotion of Classical Homeopathy.
Our Work
Homeopathy is a holistic form of alternative medicine that believes in treating the individual as a whole. It's based on the principle of "like cures like," meaning a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can be used in a highly diluted form to stimulate the body's natural healing responses in someone experiencing similar symptoms.During a homeopathic consultation, which typically lasts 1.5-2 hours and is priced at £50 per hour, I will gather detailed information about your physical and emotional health. This includes not just the symptoms but also lifestyle, personality, and other unique traits. The goal is to identify the your constitutional type and tailor a highly diluted remedy to stimulate the body's innate healing abilities.Homeopathy aims to address the root cause of health issues rather than merely alleviating symptoms. The personalised and comprehensive nature of the consultation distinguishes homeopathy, offering a holistic approach to promoting overall well-being.
