Ep 457: CEASE Therapy - the origins and the legacy of Tinus Smits - with Kim Kalina

Kim Kalina’s path into homeopathy began after her son’s health struggles led her to look beyond conventional treatments and eventually discover a different way of understanding healing. From there, she went on to study homeopathy and build a career as both a practitioner and educator, shaped in part by her earlier background in social work and psychotherapy. She reflects on how this combination of experiences informs her approach, especially when working with emotional issues and trauma. We also talk through her training with CEASE therapy under the late Tinus Smits, including her experiences supporting children with autism and her reflections on individualized care rather than broad protocols. Kim also shares her long-term involvement with triturations and why she values the hands-on process of preparing remedies as part of deepening a homeopath’s understanding.
