About Our Practice
What is health? It is not one static point which is retained at all times. You are healthy when you are capable of experiencing things fully. You are healthy only as long as you are in motion while maintaining homeostasis. Health is a dynamic process!
We do not only want to improve your health – our aim is for you to heal at all levels of experience. The word “heal” means “to make whole”. Healing is an experience that encompasses the whole you: Mind, body and spirit. This clinic is a place of healing. It is a place of peace, calm and silence, where the real work of healing can begin with the best that Homeopathy can offer you.
At K-W Homeopathic Medicine and Wellness Clinic, we specialize in Classical Homeopathy, a form of medicine that treats at the deepest possible level – the level of the Vital Force. The Vital Force is an energetic force inherent in the body that has the ability to combat moderate acute diseases. It is your body’s self-healing power and when that is deranged, it can no longer fight off disease effectively. When you are treated by conventional medicine, your symptoms often disappear. However, the vital force does not – it will find another outlet. Healing cannot truly happen if the vital force is not healed.
Our homeopaths are highly qualified professionals who attained the highest level of homeopathic education available in Ontario, by devoting four years of study to the field. We are here to serve you – with passion and compassion.
Mission Statement
“The physician’s highest and only calling is to make the sick healthy, to cure, as it is called. The highest ideal of cure is the rapid, gentle and permanent restoration of health, in the shortest, most reliable, and most harmless way….”
– Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, § 1, Organon of the Medical Art

Lydia Arnold
BA (Psych), Homeopath (Hom.), DHMHS
CHO # 15113
Homeopathic medicine has been familiar to Lydia Arnold from a very young age. Growing up in a large family, homeopathy was the mainstream medicine in the household which 
proved itself over and over again.
Lydia completed her undergraduate degree in Psychology from Wilfrid Laurier University. It was in university that Lydia began to understand the significance of homeopathy because every person is unique and each individual is treated as such with classical homeopathy.
She then went on to study Homeopathic Medicine and Health Sciences at the Ontario College of Homeopathic Medicine, where she graduated with honours in homeopathy. She is a member of the Ontario Homeopathic Association. Lydia has had the opportunity to study with master homeopaths including Dr. Rajan Sankaran, Dr. Jan Scholten, Frans Vermeulen, Linda Johnston and Alize Timmerman.

Jennifer Schwens
RPN, Medical Esthetic Practitioner
Office Manager
Jennifer has always had a special interest in health, beauty and skin care. She graduated from Conestoga College in 2008 as a Registered Practical Nurse and went on to obtain her certificate as a Medical Esthetic Practitioner with honours from Centennial College.
At the same time, her interest in holistic health was nurtured in the home, where homeopathy was used successfully to treat minor and major ailments. Thus, she has grown intensely fond and knowledgeable about the holistic field.
Having worked in the spa industry, Jennifer witnessed positive but also very negative effects of skin treatments and cosmetic procedures. This drove her to apply her growing knowledge of alternative medicine by seeking and developing a more natural approach in skin care. A natural skin care enthusiast, she is passionate about our natural wellness facials. Jennifer also provides Ion Detox sessions and administrative support.
