Debut from science communicator and alternative-health practitioner Vanessa Young.

About the book

I find myself wondering how I ended up here – a homeopath. What a ludicrous system of medicine it seems to be. Based on ‘similars’ and utilising highly diluted substances, it doesn’t get much weirder than this. And yet here I am.

How do we reconcile the parts of ourselves that are seemingly at odds? And how to do this when we need to reframe everything we understand to be certain?

Science communicator and alternative-health practitioner Vanessa Young draws on decades of work in both her chosen fields to explore these questions. Her journey, told with empathy and supported by experience, yields an unexpected science story from a reluctant homeopath.

‘Written with compassion and wry self-reflection, this book is a perfect read for those venturing into the frontier.’—Dr Margaret Macky 

‘This outstanding book informs, challenges and entertains … The author approaches each of her unique clients with compassion, intellect and insight.’—Martin Hunn, neurosurgeon

‘This is a great read for anyone trying to reconcile two seemingly mutually exclusive ideas, for anyone whose head and heart feel out of sync, for anyone grappling with experiences that contradict their beliefs.’—Renée Rowland, bookseller
