Why Begabati

I’ve had an interesting life! And I bring many different experiences to serve my clients.

• Extensive study of homeopathy, in part by editing books by some of the world’s leading homeopaths, culminating in writing two of my own 

• Experience with about two thousand clients, in my 30 years of practicing homeopathy

• Familiarity with conventional medicine – I am an RN (registered nurse) and I grew up in a medical family (my father, a vascular surgeon, pioneered the medical use of Doppler ultrasound, and my mother worked for Dr. Papanicolau who developed the Pap smear) so I can “speak both languages”.

• 15 years running a health food store, studying and gaining practical experience in holistic nutrition, herbs and supplements, which I can suggest to support your homeopathic remedy

• An intensive study of human nature and human behavior at Harvard, through an elite undergraduate major in the social sciences.

• A special sensitivity to women, women’s issues and experience (I co-founded the first women’s consciousness-raising collective at Harvard in 1970)

• A spiritual life since childhood so I can help you explore – if you want – your purpose in life and the higher significance of your life experiences

• Two summers working on an archeological dig and imagining the life of the people whose pottery I was unearthing. How is that related? With my clients, we do a kind of digging into your past, and from the most mundane memories we can dig up deep understanding.

• I ran 44 marathons, 3 ultramarathons and 3 triathlons in my younger and thinner days. How does that help you? Well, probably not much unless you want to talk about sports injuries!
