Valerie Lovelace is the founder of Second Wind Homeopathy, located in Poland, Maine.  She is a retired Navy Lieutenant and left her corporate career in January 2008 to establish full-time practice as a homeopath.   She studies with the School of Homeopathy in Devon, England, and is a member in good standing with the North American Society of Homeopaths  (NASH) and the National Center for Homeopathy (NCH).  Val is a Reiki Master (Usui method) and metaphysical minister.  She is the mother of three, an artist, and a motorcycle enthusiast.

I believe Homeopathy offers more hope and has the potential for achieving greater and more lasting results in the treatment of chronic disease than conventional western medical practices.  Properly administered, homeopathy stimulates our vitality in a deep and gentle way, strengthening the body's natural ability to heal, thereby allowing us to achieve an optimal state of well-being.  Other holistic modalities perform similarly.

We are unique beings who should be fully integrated on the spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical planes. Our long-term health and vitality truly depend on being treated as a whole, not as a pile of individual parts.  Over-the-counter medications and pharmaceuticals treat body parts without regard for the rest of the person, and these medicines assume that all parts are created equal.

There is a place for all schools of thought.  Homeopathy cannot set a broken bone, Acupuncture cannot excise a tumor, and Reiki cannot replace a lost limb. Likewise, I do not believe that conventional western practices can always offer hope for chronic conditions. In truth, most western treatments and medicines generally are able to offer only temporary relief in the case of chronic illnesses.  And sometimes people just get worse with often unfortunate side affects.

I am obviously a fan of homeopathy because it works for me personally and suits my philosophy and understanding of the state of mind-body balance necessary for health and wellness.  I encourage you to explore holistic alternatives and make healthy life choices to achieve wellness.

Val's life experiences have led her to a strong faith in the Divine and to the belief that all things are possible. It is with this open-minded approach that she first embraced holistic alternatives and metaphysical studies.  Please feel free to contact Val at Second Wind Homeopathy.
