About Karen Robinson
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I can answer questions about all aspects of natural healing - there are a multitude of therapies and products, and I can help people sort out what they need. Often people need more in-depth guidance, and I do individualized consulting by email at www.guideforselfhealing.com.

Experience
I have over 25 years of experience and training across the whole spectrum of natural healing systems. My particular focus is Homeopathy and Heilkunst - the complete system of medicine developed by Dr. Hahnemann and furthered in recent years at the international Hahnemann Center for Heilkunst. I was a contributing health editor for an independent Internet news agency, and manager of the Natural Medicine Forum on CompuServe.

Education/Credentials
Homeopathy with the Hahnemann College for Heilkunst; herbalism with master herbalist Michael Tierra; Ayurveda at the Ayurvedic Institute; Bioresonance Technique with Savely Yurkovsky, M.D.
