How did you start your journey in Homeopathy?
While working in a university hospital and feeling the limitations of conventional Western medicine, and the need for psychotherapy and CAM, I was introduced to homeopathy by a British doctor friend and decided I wanted to study it. I became an associate member of the Faculty and took a correspondence course in Glasgow (1998-1999). I became a Member of the Faculty of Homoeopathy (MFHom) in 2003.
How do you integrate Homeopathy into your Practice?
Since September 2022, I have been treating patients at a private clinic specialising in homeopathy in Tokyo. In order to promote homeopathy in Japan, I have been teaching homeopathy training courses for doctors, dentists, and pharmacists at the Japanese Physicians Society for Homoeopathy (JPSH) since 2001. In my capacity as Executive Director, I also work with the Society for Integrative Medicine Japan (IMJ) and conduct promotional activities for the government and the general public.
