About Kathryn
Kathryn Downs, Homeopath, 135 Riding Rd Hawthorne Qld 4171 Ph 07 3899 5781
Kathryn has always had a passionate interest in natural therapies, healing, and the mind-body connection.
On graduation from high school she obtained a degree in Computer Science, and worked in IT for many years. However, her primary interest has always been in the area of natural therapies and healing, leading her to eventually pursue studies in many different therapies, including homeopathy, traditional chinese medicine, psychotherapy, counselling, nutrition, massage, and spiritual healing.
Kathryn’s passion for homeopathy grew rapidly as she discovered the power of homeopathic medicine to truly transform people’s health, to restore health to those suffering with all forms of chronic disease, as well as helping to relieve deep seated emotional problems.
Kathryn is passionate about homeopathy and healing, she is passionate about people and their well-being, and she would love to see homeopathy - and other forms of natural medicine - fully integrated into the healthcare system, both within Australia and throughout the world.
Kathryn has been working with the Australian Homoeopathic Association since 2003, including 2 years as the President of the Queensland Branch. She also teaches Homeopathy at the Australian Institute of Applied Sciences. Kathryn and her husband previously owned and managed two organic food stores for 7 years. She currently lives in Brisbane with her husband and two children.
“I have studied many different therapies, and I find homeopathy to be one of the most powerful therapies available. I consistently achieve results in my clinic with homeopathy that I cannot imagine achieving with other therapies – it is so all-encompassing, working so powerfully on the mind and the emotions as well as the physical body, inherited tendencies and weaknesses, etc. Homeopathy can address disease at a completely different level, considering all aspects of a person's well being - physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.”
