Homeopath, Mary Nuñez, BSN, D.Hom

Mary Nuñez is a certified classical homeopath. She received her training from a 3 year program at the Los Angeles School of Homeopathy. Before practicing homeopathy, Mary worked as a registered nurse for 15 years in the Pasadena area, having received her bachelors degree in science in nursing from Loyola University, Chicago. Her experience in western medicine brings her a unique perspective into modern day medicine and the potential role for homeopathy to aid in patients achieving their individual health goals.

Her journey into homeopathy began years ago when searching for answers to her daughter’s health issues. Frustrated with the western system that did not address the core problem, she tried homeopathy and watched her daughters transformation back to health.

Homeopathy is a form of medicine that has been around for over 200 years. It treats the patient on the emotional, physical and mental realms as these components are all connected in the health of an individual. Homeopathy is based off of the Law of Similars. This means that a remedy that produces symptoms in a healthy person will cure those same symptoms when manifested by a person in a diseased state. When a person has symptoms including anxiety, sleep disorders, or heart palpitations, this is the body communicating that it is not in a balanced state. A homeopath collects the unique symptoms of the individual person and matches them with a remedy that is most similar in symptoms produced. A homeopathic remedy is used to stimulate the person to heal himself. Mary is privileged to work in a practice that offers choices to patients in their search for health.
