Dr. De Donato first approach to homeopathy took place in the late 1970s and early 1980s through Prof. Dr. Antonio Santini, an Italian physician who disappointed with the results of mainstream medicine and pharmacology had abandoned the practice of conventional medicine to dedicate the rest of his life to homeopathy. He ended up founding The Center of Homeopathic Medicine “C. S. Hahnemann” and later on also the Institute of Homeopathic Studies”, both located in Rome. Prof. Santini was absolutely inspirational to Dr. De Donato. His inquisitive and pragmatic mind, the specific questions he would ask during a session and the explanation about the importance of identifying the root cause of any health condition along with the mental, emotional and psychological state accompanying it, and the importance of acknowledging symptoms and diseases as part of our alarm and self-defense mechanism rather than as enemies were paramount to understand not only that it is fundamental to approach health from a holistic perspective but also that symptoms and diseases do serve a specific purpose and that true health cannot take place by suppressing symptoms but rather and only by removing the real, underlying cause that created the problem in the first place.

 

Dr. De Donato practices Classical Homeopathy as she learned first hand more than three decades ago and is particular inspired by the works and approach to homeopathy of Prof. Dr. George Vithoulkas whose teachings she applies in her own practice.
