Lipa (the Slavic name for Linden tree, also Tilia) is highly symbolic to my clinic. Its flowers are used in herbology/homeopathy as a sedative and as a remedy for fever, infections, cough, and other health issues. Lipa tree has been regarded through time as a symbol of love (because of its heart-shaped leaves) and community spirit among the Slavic people. The aspect that resonates with my practice the most is the belief that the tree would help unearth the truth that lies beneath.
I am a full-time homeopath with classical unicist training, living in Alberta, Canada. I do consultations in-person, by video or by phone for patients from around the world.
I have been in clinical practice since the year 2000, at which time I obtained my first diploma in homeopathy and formed Homeopathic Clinic Lipa in Montreal. In the spring of 2013, I obtained my second degree in homeopathy from the Montreal Institute of Classical Homeopathy.
Originally a biochemist and researcher, I first witnessed healing miracles in patients while working at The Research Institute of Balneology in my native country, Czech Republic. But my deeper understanding of how a simple mineral could contribute to healing from illnesses such as arthritis or infertility came only after I was introduced to homeopathy. With homeopathy, I keep discovering – through the eyes of my patients and through sharing their experience of the world – how all minerals and all the elements of the periodic table come alive!
My knowledge is continuously being expanded with conferences and seminars on health and homeopathy and studies on the latest research of master homeopaths from around the world.

Montreal
My daughter developed severe asthma at three, leading to emergency room visits and heavy medication. A friend recommended homeopathy, so I sought help from Jana. Within three months, my daughter was off all meds, and her asthma vanished. I also treated my lifelong asthma with Jana, and my health improved dramatically—I was only sick once last year. Homeopathy has changed our lives, and I am so grateful to Jana. Thank you!
Asthma
Jana has been treating me for over 5 years, helping me overcome various physical ailments and fostering a more positive, calm, and loving mindset. She genuinely cares and creates a non-judgmental space that makes it easy to open up. When I first saw her, I had polycystic ovary syndrome and hormonal imbalances. Now, I'm feeling much better, and my gynecologist was amazed to find that I no longer have polycystic ovaries! I'm incredibly grateful for Jana’s support in my transformation. If you're open-minded and ready to improve your wellbeing, I believe she can help you too.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
In 2013, my 6-year-old daughter developed Post Strep Reactive Arthritis after suffering from numerous strep infections. She was trapped in absolute agony as the inflammation migrated its way around her joints while we struggled to maintain an effective level of ibuprofen to stave off her flare-ups. In addition to her physical symptoms, she became totally fearful, nearly petrified, during the day, with her nights full of terror, entirely unlike her as an active, outgoing and rational child. We were referred to Jana and after receiving treatment my daughter made remarkable improvement: overnight her fearfulness and terror evaporated, her body very soon healed, and since then she has been stronger, healthier and more her self than ever, with not one strep infection since. Jana's knowledge, insight, compassion, and patience are unparalleled and we could never thank her enough. Truly a life and eye-opening experience.
Post Strep Reactive Arthritis
I have been familiar with homeopathy since 1983 and believe it's essential to find the right homeopath, as the treatment relies heavily on the relationship between the patient and the practitioner. Establishing a sincere connection is crucial because homeopathy considers even the smallest details about you to determine the best remedy. After a long search in Montreal, I found Clinique Lipa and my homeopath Jana, who exceeded my expectations. I have various health issues that allopathic medicine cannot address without severe side effects, which my body cannot tolerate. Homeopathic remedies, based on natural products, are what my body accepts well, providing amazing results. I am truly grateful to Jana, my kind and knowledgeable homeopath and friend. If you're searching for a good homeopath, your search ends here.
Hormone Imbalance
Homeopathy uses plants, mineral and animal substances made into solutions and then diluted (and succussed or vigorously shaken) to a point where no molecules of the substance remain. These remedies act by stimulating the defence mechanism of the patient to correct itself, much like a tiny catalyst will allow a chemical reaction to continue to completion. The symptoms of the patient are considered to be an ineffectual attempt by the body to heal itself. Whereas conventional medicine tries to suppress these unwanted symptoms, homeopathy interprets them as a cry for help. Once the language is understood, a boost in the right direction can cure. Sometimes the effect of one dose of this submolecular medicine can act for three years or longer without being repeated.
Homeopathic medicines are not harmful because they are so greatly diluted. They are safe, non-toxic, and non-additive. They are prepared in Medicines Control Agency licensed laboratories to stringent standards of quality.
Since the success of homeopathic treatment of cholera and typhoid was demonstrated in the nineteenth century, homeopathy has proven effective for millions of people world wide. It has often succeeded where other forms of treatment have failed.
Homeopathy is as effective for animals as it is for humans. There is an increasing number of veterinary surgeons practicing Homeopathy around the world.
The first consultation, which is the longest, should on average last anything from 2 to 3 hours. This is because the homeopathic doctor needs to form a detailed picture of the patient; reaction to food and drink, hot and cold weather, etc; and a full medical history are all recorded and taken into account. Then, when the homeopathic doctor comes to prescribe a homeopathic medicine he or she will choose one which matches the patient and the ailment. Subsequent consultations are usually much shorter.
Homeopathic medicine is a complete and scientific form of medicine. It appears to work by triggering a healing response in the body which leads to a correction of the disease. Therefore, as the patient regains health, the symptoms disappear. This can happen whatever the disease, although ideally, the procedure needs the expert guidance of a qualified homeopathic doctor. If the disease is Incurable, the same medicine which fits the patient may ease considerable the symptoms, even if it does not lead to a cure.
Homeopathic medicines should be stored in a cool place, away from strong sunlight. They should also be kept away from strong-smelling substances, such as peppermint, perfume and especially camphor. Do not transfer medicines to a container that has held another homeopathic medicine.
I discovered homeopathy ten years ago after struggling with a hormonal imbalance. My first treatment was surprisingly effective, resolving many symptoms quickly. It transformed my life and helped me improve unhealthy relationships. I now use homeopathy for my family and recommend it to friends and students as a yoga teacher. I am grateful for Jana's expert guidance over the years.
