    In this episode, I chat with Kiran Grover, a down-to-earth and passionate homeopath whose journey into the profession started in childhood, growing up in a family of homeopaths.

Kiran shares what it’s been like building her practice, the role mentorship played in her journey, and how the shift to online consultations has made homeopathy more accessible than ever.

    Mary is a dedicated homeopath and founder of Homeopathy 24-7, a global service providing online consultations 24 hours a day.

That hands-on success sparked years of study and eventually a thriving practice, which she later took aboard while sailing around the world for seven years—consulting with clients via Zoom long before it became common. Mary talks about setting up a large international team to meet the growing demand for remote care, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. She also reflects on her time providing homeopathy to refugees in Greece, where basic care was often hard to access. Throughout the conversation, she highlights the importance of collaboration among practitioners and the practical support Homeopathy 24-7 offers to those building their own practices.
