Patty lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. She was born in San Francisco and raised just north in Marin County. She taught in a Montessori preschool for nine years. During her teaching years, she realized that too many children were put on antibiotics for repeated ear infections, when they could have been treated with safe,-non-toxic, natural medicine instead. She knew this because she had been using homeopathy with her own children and cured their ear infections with homeopathy the first time they had one, and actually found they never got them again. So she quit teaching and decided to study with Patty & Rudi at the Hahnemann College, and is now focusing her practice on children. She enjoys seeing parents learn the effectiveness and safety of homeopathy as an alternative for their children’s medical care, not only for ear infections, but for all ailments, complex and chronic as well as acute. She enjoys working with children and adults.
