Ep 330: QnA Friday 3 - Leaky Gut - with Eugénie Krüger and Sarah Valentini

Throwback Thursday - Ep 85 - Revive: a Homeopathic novel by Sunita Venchard

Sunita Venchard has been practising homeopathy for over 25 years. She graduated from the London College of Classical Homeopathy in 1996.  In 2010 she trained in the sensation method by Rajan Sankaran and continues to study new methods and remedies.
In her practice, Sunita sees a wide variety of clients online, from all over the world.  Over the years she has developed a special interest in treating anxiety and the menopause. In addition to her practice she has taught many short courses to the public to empower people to use homeopathy for themselves with confidence.
Sunita was an avid reader of fiction before studying homeopathy, when that was replaced with reading books on homeopathy.  Her love, particularly of science fiction, adventure and fantasy fiction and movies together with her love of homeopathy inspired here to write her first novel, ‘Revive’.  She says, “Homeopathy never ceases to amaze me, and I have always found it somewhat magical. I wanted to write an exciting accessible novel, for teens upwards, to spread and convey these feelings;  a book that could be read and enjoyed on many levels without any prior knowledge of homeopathy,  by homeopaths and non-homeopaths  alike.  My aim was for all readers to learn or take something different from the novel.”
Revive is available as an ebook on Amazon worldwide and as a paperback in some countries. 
For UK https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00OYWPHCG
For US https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OYWPHCG
For Australia https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B00OYWPHCG
For sales in other countries, search amazon for that country.
