BodyMind Bellingen Practice & Projects
Stumbling into homeopathy
Back in early 2oo4 I found myself wanting to learn more about natural medicine and healing, in particular in relation to emotional and mental health. Having studied and worked in social work practice I felt stifled by the limitations within the dominant bio-medical model and was keen to explore an alternative approach for health and wellbeing. .My plan was to study nutritional medicine as I had always connected to the traditional concept of ‘food as medicine'.
However, on the college open day, I happened to attend a homeopathy lecture titled ‘Is there an alternative to anti-depressants’ given by my soon-to-be-teacher Mary Bentley. She talked about homeopathy, its scope in holistic mental health support, and presented a couple of paper cases suggesting that there was indeed an alternative!
Around the same time I had come across a book by Dr Rudolph Ballentine ‘Radical Healing’. His chapter on homeopathy & the biochemical cell salts was another entry point to this world of homeopathic medicine and, coupled with Mary’s presentation, I was drawn to dive deep and learn more.
Changing my enrolment to major in homeopathy, I graduated 4 years later to my dream job as a homeopath.

About Lee Formica & BodyMind Bellingen
​
Lee Formica holds Bachelor degrees in Social Work (UNSW) and Health Science - Complementary Medicine (CSU), an Advanced Diploma in Homeopathy (Nature Care College) and is currently undertaking postgraduate studies in Counselling with UNE.
Recognising the intricate interplay between physical, emotional and mental health, Lee’s clinical practice is grounded within a bio-psychosocial or ‘bodymind’ approach to healthcare.
A major focus of this work is providing homeopathic support for stress related conditions such as gastrointestinal problems, poor immunity/auto-immune problems, chronic unexplained cough, insomnia, and chronic fatigue syndromes. This includes supportive treatment for post-viral fatigue, long-covid and post vaccine problems or injury via the use of traditional homeopathic remedies.
Similarly, the practice is dedicated to the support of emotional and mental health concerns such as persistent melancholy, anxiety, episodes of panic or shock, and prolonged grief through an integration of homeopathy and holistic counselling practice.
The beauty of a holistic approach is that by seeking help with a physical condition you should also expect significant improvements in mood, sleep and energy. Likewise, classical homeopathic support for emotional and mental health problems results in a synergistic alleviation of physical symptoms or complaints.
