About Me



Rachel Gawne, BSc, MLCHom, FARH
Qualified, registered homeopath and flower essence practitioner
Brighton and Hove

I first discovered homeopathy having suffered with hay fever from about 7 years old. Despite much antihistamine and other medication, my hay fever got worse each summer until I dreaded the months from May to July and usually spent them indoors. After my first homeopathic prescription, I was amazed to find that though not completely gone, the symptoms were much better and I had my first bearable summer in years. After each year’s prescription, my hay fever reduced still further, and now doesn’t trouble me at all.

From that first encounter, I turned to homeopathy more and more, and eventually decided to become a homeopath myself. I completed my training at the Lakeland College of Homeopathy, Regent’s College, London, and am a Friend of the Alliance of Registered Homeopaths, a professional body that binds its members by a code of ethics and practice.

I treat men, women and children of all ages for a broad range of ailments using different approaches depending on the individual. I often combine homeopathic remedies with flower essences, and depending on the ailment my prescriptions range from a few days to a programme to be taken over several months. I also offer flower essence only consultations.

An area of special interest to me is hormonal imbalances and fertility issues. I have treated women with fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, miscarriages and unexplained infertility to name a few. I treat women suffering from the side effects of the Oral Contraceptive Pill and the Morning After Pill and have provided homeopathic support to women following assisted conception routes such as IUI and IVF. I have also successfully treated emotional blocks that can prevent conception.
I am an accredited therapist for the Foresight Preconception charity, which helps women to optimise their preconception health and avoid miscarriage or birth malformation.

I love my work and take a supportive, practical approach. I enjoy getting to know my clients and working with them over time to improve their health and vitality, offering them a real alternative to, or support for, their conventional treatment.

I look forward to working with you.
