Inside an Acute Homeopathy Session
In this post, I’ll walk you through what happens in an acute homeopathy session, how I use my AURA method to understand what your body is saying, and how to use the AURA Acute Checklist to prepare — whether we’re working by email, phone, or Zoom.
When an Acute Session Is the Right Next Step
When symptoms appear out of nowhere — a fever, a sudden cough, a stomach bug, or a child who just “isn’t right” — an acute session is usually the next right step. Acute illnesses can last anywhere from a few hours to 7–14 days, and they tend to unfold quickly with a clear pattern. My role is to notice that pattern with you and support your system with a remedy that helps things shift more comfortably.
Acute sessions with me are designed to be simple and accessible. We can work together by email, phone, or Zoom, depending on what feels easiest in the moment. When you’re in the middle of caring for yourself or someone you love, you don’t need long forms or a full intake. You just need support, clarity, and a calm, steady presence who can help you make sense of what’s happening.
How I Use the AURA Method
When we’re working through an acute, my goal is to understand what your body is expressing right now so we can match the clearest, most accurate remedy. Symptoms that appear suddenly have a very specific pattern, and when we understand that pattern from the start, things tend to shift more quickly and more comfortably.
To make this simple — especially when you’re exhausted or caring for someone else — I use my AURA Method. It gives us a steady structure to follow, no matter how you’re feeling or which situation we’re navigating.
AURA = Awareness • Understanding • Response • Assessment
Awareness
We notice what changed — the timing, the trigger, and how the body is expressing imbalance.
Understanding
We connect the pieces: sensations, modalities (better/worse), movements, discharge, behaviors, and progression.
Response
We choose a remedy that matches the clearest pattern your body is showing in this moment.
Assessment
We observe what eases, what shifts, or what still needs support so we know the next step.
The AURA Method helps us slow down and observe what’s truly happening. We look at what changed, how it feels, what makes it better or worse, and how your system is responding moment by moment. This is the same structure I use whether we’re working by email, phone, or Zoom — it keeps things clear and grounded during a stressful moment.
How to Use the AURA Acute Checklist
The AURA Acute Checklist is a simple, step-by-step guide you can use anytime something sudden comes up. It walks you through the same structure I use in every acute session, which means you don’t have to remember anything when you’re stressed, tired, or caring for a little one. Just jot down whatever stands out — the sensations, the timing, how things changed, and anything unusual.
You don’t need to answer every question. Just skip those that don’t apply to you. Even a few clear observations can make remedy selection dramatically faster and more accurate.

Putting It All Together
An acute session is simply about understanding what your body is saying right now — the timing, the sensations, what changed suddenly, and what stands out. When you can describe that clearly, the remedy match becomes faster and more accurate, and you get relief sooner.
Your AURA Acute Checklist gives you a gentle framework to follow when things feel overwhelming or urgent. You don’t need to fill out every line — even a handful of clear details will help me see the pattern your system is expressing.
