Lowanna Hugall |
 |
|||
Lowanna was born in Perth, Western Australia, Australia on the 28th September 1972. She still lives in Perth though she has travelled in her youth. Lou had a particularly challenging upbringing and today these very aspects continue to teach her a lot about herself and others. From school Lowanna went straight into college and studied photography. Then her best friend told her she was going to nanny in the UK and did she want to come along. Lowanna packed up and in 6 weeks she was on the plane for the UK where she lived in Buckinghamshire looking after 6 children and spent her days caring and doing house chores! A fantastic experience. She stayed in Europe for 15 months, which also included back packing all over Europe. Not a bad feat for an 18yr old!! It turned out to be a life changing experience. Lowanna would have to come home from Europe as her stepfather was diagnosed with cancer. At 21 Lowanna decided that she wanted to go to University, but dyslexia was holding her back from becoming a Primary School teacher. She decided that this was her goal and needed an English tutor. This is where Andrew entered, a High School English teacher. He would support her through out the year to get the grades to be accepted into university. While she was at uni and for the following years she became good friends with Andrew. This grew to them being partners - of now 10 years. Boy did that time fly!! After 4 long years Lou became a Primary teacher. Initially for 4 years she enjoyed this immensely and then became very disheartened with the contracted employment system in Australia as it meant never spending more than a year in a school and having no job and no guarantee of work every Christmas for the following year. She decided the conditions were not healthy for her. She stumbled on homeopathy due to her sick dog needing attention. She had just lost Lucy a cocker spaniel to an "unexplained illness" where she looked like she developed myasthenia gravis but the test showed nothing! Only weeks after this total devastation of having to put down her best friend she found Thomas, Lucy’s son had two lumps on his body. She was very angry with western medicine and decided it had not seemed to help anyone long term. Six months before Lucy's death the whole family had a life change converting to a green, chemical-free organic house which also included the 3 dogs too! When the house converted to being "Green" she had also thrown out all the medications in the house and said to Andrew "Well now we have no medicine, what are we going to use when we get sick?" She told him that something would crop up that was healthier than allopathies and it did! Lou started to research what this "home-opathy" (as she used to call it) was. The more she read the more it made sense. Of course we are part of nature and follow the laws of nature regardless. Seemed to make sense to use a similar drug to treat the symptom. During her research she hit upon a site called "hpathy" There were not that many members then when she first posted about her chronic problem with asthma. For many months she tried remedies and with the help from Snoopy ( a homeopath) and other resident members at hpathy she started her path back towards health. She continued to do her own study into homeopathy becoming more intrigued the more she read, and the more she read the less she knew. She had a deep interest in human biology and medicine even before she was 12 years old. She would get out medical books and encyclopaedias out of the library when her friends would be reading fiction ! She decided recently to consult a homeopath here in Perth and she has not looked back since. If you are in Perth, she would gladly recommend him just email her. After a year of self-study and many months of looking for where she wanted to study homeopathy she enrolled in Misha Norland’s correspondence course from Devon. Lou would recommend this course to anyone serious about wanting to be a homeopath. In 4 years she will be a homeopath with an Advance Diploma. Though she states it is harder than her university degree - it is very rewarding. This year she also became a Buddhist and this spiritual enrichment has seen a positive impact upon her daily life. So that was her yesterday ! Today she spends her days working hard
to keep up with Misha's course not to mention hours grappling with
new homeopathy ideas. When mental fatigue sets in there is always housework
and relief teaching to keep her out of trouble. She enjoys reading
Buddhism and homeopathy books duh! She enjoys writing for the e-journal
when she can and being part of the Hpathy team is a great place
to hang-out and learn at the same time. Lou likes to make time to meditate and practise Buddhism. She adores
the beach and gets down there most days in summer. Being outdoors
gardening and going to the gym keeps her grounded and her love for
creating art especially drawing relaxes her during the day. Lou
also prefers to spend time with her 3 English cocker spaniels and
enjoying the company of her best friend and partner Andrew. |
