The miasms didn't become a focal point in my practice, or life, until a few years ago. As I danced with burnout and poor boundaries in my business, the Cancer miasm became a reflection for my suffering. It held up its mirror and said….
Look at how you’re giving yourself away.
Look at how much you’re carrying.
Look at how critical you are of yourself, the standards you’re trying to meet.
Look at how little trust you hold in yourself.
Look at how disconnected you are from your intuition.
Carcinosin revealed the patterns that had gotten me to such a state, but that had also helped me survive. It taught me a new perspective on cancer and dis-ease, one that aligned with the paradigm I carry around symptoms in general. It dissolved my fears and showed me empowerment - most of all it invited me to experience a new relationship with myself, my vital force, and my body.

Miasms are inherited, energetic imprints of disease that inform which symptoms we experience and how. They can be inherited from our ancestors or developed through suppression. They create your own personal flavour of susceptibility - answering the question: how do you express dis-ease?
The perspective of miasms being these layers that need clearing, that only create dis-ease, or even them being evil entities that have taken over the vital force, felt so disempowering. I never really knew why it didn't click until I started reading and learning from more modern, intuitive, spiritual authors: the general perspective on Miasms was still largely allopathic.
Gratitude and credit to the works of Ian Watson - who has inspired much of this course.
Even Hahnemann spoke about them in a way that mirrored the cut, burn, kill approach of the allopaths - that they were merely susceptibilities, evil that must be controlled.
Now I'm not throwing out the baby with the bath water but rather inviting wholeness back into the conversations. Why do miasms exist? How do they serve us? What are they here to teach us?
How can the cancer miasm teach us about needs and boundaries? How will Sycosis transform your shame and Syphillis invite a new relationship with death?
I learn something new every time I explore the miasms - about health, humanity, and self. They reveal to me the patterns I’d long gone blind to or chosen previously to avoid. This course is all about diving into our stories and our history and learning to have a new relationships with the things that keep us unwell.
In week one we cover an intro to miasms and what they are, followed by a journey through our first miasm: Psora.
Week two digs into the two "complementary opposites" of sycosis and syphillis - expansion and destruction, birth and death, light and dark.
In week three we explore the human challenges of tuberculosis and cancer as miasms.
