+Getting Started with Homeopathy
Emily Marshall and Dawn Spain are Associates of Roaring Fork Homeopathy and are seasoned Homeopathic Practitioners, Consultants and Educators. They are both certified Practical Homeopaths (PHom) from the Academy of Practical Homeopathy, and have been assisting clients (and their families and pets and plants) with homeopathy for many years. Dawn is located on the East Coast, and Emily is in Colorado (MDT) but both meet with clients online, connecting with any location in the world.
Emily and Dawn are very much on the same page, and having two heads to put together for challenging cases means better outcomes for their clients!
Note: Neither Emily nor Dawn is a Licensed Medical Practitioner and they do not claim to be doctors of any kind and do not examine, diagnose or treat. They consult with and educate clients in the selection of homeopathic medicines to administer to themselves and their loved ones.
As Homeopaths, Emily and Dawn work with people with all types of conditions. They practice Practical Homeopathy®, which utilizes the Banerji Protocols, and they include other proven methods of homeopathy, such as using high potencies for pain.
Homeopathy can do wonders in cases of intense and chronic pain, depression, anxiety, loss of energy, sleeplessness, acute and chronic allergies, food intolerances, gastrointestinal problems, female conditions such as menopause, endometriosis and PCOS, conditions such as ADHD, autism spectrum and dementia, dental problems, infections of all types, and too many diseases and disorders- both diagnosed and ‘mystery’- to list here! If there is an ailment- no matter physical or psychological- there is probably a homeopathic remedy to match it.
How it works
Getting started with your Homeopath:
- Set up an appointment.
- Complete the intake paperwork. (This will be emailed to you after booking your first appointment. If you can’t email or complete the paperwork, we will coordinate another way.)
- Meet with Emily or Dawn online, typically via Zoom. The initial consultation takes 45-60 minutes. At this time they will ‘take your case’, gathering symptoms and information related to your primary concerns.
- Your homeopath will then spend time coming up with a homeopathic plan. Expect 1-3 days turnaround, depending on the complexity of your case and time factors.
- Once completed, you will receive your schedule of suggested homeopathic remedies, including all necessary details.
- Next you order the remedies. (If you don’t own them already.) Suggested outlets and pharmacies may be recommended, but it will be up to you to choose where to make the purchase(s). If you need assistance with ordering we will be happy to help for an additional fee of $35. Note: One bottle/tube of pillules generally costs, on average, around $10, but may vary from $6 to $20 depending on the exact medicine, potency and availability. You may have two remedies on your schedule, or twenty (for example), depending on what is being called for. Utilizing the ‘wet dose’ method (recommended), one bottle of pillules can last up to a year, even if taken twice a day. For the ‘wet dosing method’ it will be recommend to have small dropper bottles, although any container could be used. If you prefer to ‘dry dose’ the pills you will go through them much faster and will need to order more often. This information is provided so you may budget accordingly.
- Once you have received your order(s), you will prepare and self-administer the remedies according to the customized schedule provided to you. Some remedies may be taken once a month, others a few times a week, others twice a day. It will all be laid out for you. (Generally the major pharmacies and providers will get the orders to you within a week, but there are certainly times it may take longer. So please do get your order(s) placed right away!)
- At 8-12 weeks (depending on your case and needs) you will schedule a follow-up appointment. This is when we check your progress and make adjustments. This is also when the seasoned Homeopath becomes very important. Homeopathic medicines are not like allopathic drugs; they gently stimulate the body to slowly uproot the problem. Although results may sometimes be fast and dramatic, with chronic ailments it is more common to notice a gradual decrease in frequency, intensity and the duration of the problem. It is important to assess accurately to know whether the remedies are the correct ones or need to be modified. One of the most common mistakes people mistake is to change remedies too soon. Generally, with most conditions, we should see some positive shifts in the first two months. If not, then adjustments to your plan may be made. There are literally thousands of homeopathic remedies, and even if the ‘perfect ones’ are selected at the start, the overall picture may change and we may need to adjust with it.

Other notes: This is a healing partnership! Emily and Dawn will be available for questions between consultations, within reason, via text and email, and will be happy to help you with acute situations related to your condition. If more than electronic back-and-forths will be needed to address your needs (such as if you need a phone call or face-to-face time), it may be requested that you schedule a one-on-one appointment.
MANY ACUTE ISSUES can be figured out by doing an internet search for Joette and the condition you are looking for. For example search: joette ear infection (or otitis media) and the page on her site should be at the top of your search results. (Assuming it’s a topic she has written about. Also consider other terms such as sleepless OR insomnia.) Her blog is full of entries of Practical Homeopathy options for acute conditions. You can also directly visit her blog at, JoetteCalabrese.com, which is always a great resource.
Emily and Dawn will always aim to get back to you promptly, but do keep in mind they are usually in sessions during the day and are managing cases for many people, many of whom have pressing situations.
Of course, if there is a true emergency, you may need to contact Emergency Services.

“Homeopathy reorients the direction of the life force. Symptoms are not intelligence. As Hahnemman might have said, symptoms are an ineffectual mistunement of the life force and can even be dangerous to the person. If the life force were not blind, it would heal the organism. Homeopathy doesn’t strengthen the life force, it ‘retunes’ it. And THEN healing can take place.”
– quote from Joette Calabrese paraphrasing the Organon
