We had the good fortune of connecting with Stephanie Kononovich and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Stephanie, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Having used Homeopathy for years, I really wanted to make a career out of it in order to bring the incredible healing potential of these remedies to other families and individuals. I wanted to be involved in my clients’ healing journeys and watch them take steps in life they never thought possible because of existing health concerns. Being able to support a mother in pregnancy by helping her nausea and preparing for delivery or gently encouraging one’s system back to health after long-term illness are just two small examples of homeopathic potential. I have watched the powerful capacity of these remedies work in my own life and my son’s. Inherently, I knew I needed to study the art and science of Homeopathy and offer its life-changing results to others.

What should our readers know about your business?
Foundation Homeopathy is unique in what it offers. Homeopathy is a central service offered to clients who would like help in any stage of life with any ailment. It helps to stimulate the body’s natural response and regulation. From any ailment such as the common cold to hormone regulation, homeopathy has amazing potential to support. Homeopathy takes the whole person into consideration and works to boost the entire system to help the area needed on its own. It acts more as a gentle catalyst. It is truly a form of alternative care that “listens” to the client. I often sit for 1.5-2 hours with someone to deep dive into their symptoms. I don’t just want to know that they have arthritis, it is critical and clarifying for me to understand how they experience their arthritis in thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. Many clients come with similar ailments, but nobody comes with the same story. It is all vital to the healing process. The body needs to be heard on every level to begin healing. That is the beauty of Homeopathy. It acts on each level to promote health and wellbeing. It is a joy and honor to work with my clients and to support them in their journeys.

Along with Homeopathy, I also work with my clients to build foundational pathways in the brain to support learning differences such as Dyslexia, ADD, ADHD, Autism, and much more. Primitive reflexes are movements babies present until about 2 years of age, when they should be integrated. Interruptions or traumas such as head injury, a cesarean section, or a skip in crawling can lead to retention of these movements, keeping the body in brain stem function, or “fight or flight”. At Foundation Homeopathy, I offer testing and training with exercises intended to integrate these reflexes. This lets the brain function at a higher cortex level, allowing for ease of learning with improved focus, reading, and more. The exercises help realign the brain and body to know where they are in space, which helps the client know where other items in space are as well, such as letters and numbers. When the body is centered and out of “fight or flight”, it can learn and retain much more information with improved recall. I also offer sound therapy services to continue building those brain pathways. Sound therapy is a specialized way to use frequency to train the brain and incorporate higher brain centers, building skills such as focus and attention, emotional regulation, and so much more. The best care comes for clients who use all 3 methods. They work beautifully together and build the best foundation for learning, growth, and each stage of life.
It is important to note: I am not a medical doctor or diagnosing or claiming cure or treatment.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
There are quite a few fun places to see and experience. Personally, I would recommend visiting the Dallas Arboretum and take some time to walk around and enjoy its peaceful atmosphere. White Rock Lake is also an excellent place to go walk or bike around. If an indoor area is required, there’s plenty to do at Northpark Mall in Dallas. There are great places to eat or get coffee around Dallas as well. Well Grounded Coffee Community is a fantastic little coffee shop in the White Rock Lake area. Not only can you get a cup of delicious coffee, you are also supporting a business that helps women in the community that are getting back on their feet. It’s a great area to explore! There are lots of shops and places to eat and enjoy a good time!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Dr. Keila Nichols is the fantastic lady who got me started in Homeopathy almost a decade ago. She taught a class about useful remedies that introduced me to the incredible pellets that would change my life. I later began studies at the Ontario College of Homeopathic Medicine to take this amazing journey to the next level. Dr. Nichols has supported me in this journey since day one, and I learn daily from her. I could not have gotten here without her encouragement and support.

My mom, Carla Swain, is one of the strongest people I know. When I was only 11, I struggled with an infection in my brain stem that shut down much of my left hemisphere. After multiple doctors’ visits, harsh medications, and no answers, my determined mother took me the natural route. She put me on natural remedies to fight infection and began my journey to re-hardwire my brain through training and primitive reflex integration in a local program. This initiated my pilgrimage down the holistic route, and because of her steadfastness, I regained my ability to read and write, building even stronger neuropathways. It was a tough road, but because of my mom, I can now read words on a page and even offer Primitive Reflex testing, integration, and sound therapy to my clients. Thank you so much, Mom.
