Can you briefly introduce yourself and tell us about your background ?
My name is Lies De Vos, and I’m a homeopathic doctor, practicing independently since 2007. I was born in Belgium, where I grew up until the age of 13 in a family that embraced macrobiotics and natural remedies, including homeopathy.
When I arrived in France, I continued along that path while pursuing a conventional medical education. I studied medicine in Marseille, and it was at the birth of my son, during my final year, that I felt the need to reconnect fully with natural medicine.
What led you to homeopathy ? Was there a particular turning point ?
Yes, the birth of my son was a turning point. I felt a deep desire to reconnect with homeopathy — it felt like an obvious choice.
I then enrolled in the University Diploma in Homeopathy at the Faculty of Medicine in Marseille. At the end of the three-year program, I was expecting my daughter… and the following year, I opened my private practice. It all felt like a natural continuation.
Concretely, what does homeopathy bring to your daily medical practice ?
Homeopathy is at the heart of my practice. Patients come for advice, whether for acute or chronic issues, and at all ages: babies, children, adults, and seniors. It’s a form of medicine that allows me to individualize my approach and seek more holistic solutions.
How do you combine homeopathy and conventional medicine ? Have you developed a particular approach ?
I always start by making a classical medical diagnosis, or confirming it if it’s already known.
Then I move on to the “homeopathic diagnosis”: analyzing modalities, the patient’s constitution, and the person as a whole. This dual perspective allows me to support my patients in a way that is both rigorous and personalized.
Do you think self-medication in homeopathy poses a risk to patients ?
No — I actually encourage it! My first question in consultations is often: “What remedies have you already taken?”
Well-guided homeopathic self-medication helps patients gain autonomy, and it’s often highly effective for managing acute everyday issues.
What inspired you to create your Instagram page ? You’ve had great success, with nearly 40,000 followers ! What message do you want to share through your account ?
Instagram is a platform that inspires me. I was already following wellness coaches and specialists. One day, I typed “homeopathy” in French on Instagram… and was surprised not to find much inspiring content.
So I decided to go for it, with a medical and educational approach, often starting from real clinical cases.
My goal: to make homeopathy clear, simple, and practical : to help everyone become more autonomous in managing their health.
