While completing her homeopathic studies, she travelled to India in 2004 to study with Dr Rajesh Shah, an internationally renowned homeopathic practitioner.

She was also fortunate enough to be invited to Baden Baden, Germany, to complete a training course in Biopuncture. In 2005, she was selected as the top final year homeopathic pharmaceutics student and was lucky enough to be sent on an educational trip to a well-known homeopathic pharmeutical company in Australia. Her master’s dissertation was completed on the efficacy of homeopathic growth factors (IGF-1, PDGF bb , TGF B1 and GM-CSF) in the treatment of HIV.

She is also registered and licensed to compound and dispense and prescribe homeopathic medicines. She is a member of the Aude Sapere Group of homeopaths and is a contributor to an international research programme on the homeopathic treatment of various conditions, including COVID-19.

From the very beginning of her private practice years, Dr Scott had a keen interest in infertility. After being in private practice for a few years, she spent some time as a part-time lecturer and clinician for the University of Johannesburg, lecturing gynaecology and obstetrics, as well as clinical homeopathy. In that time, Dr Scott also co-developed and lectured the first South African post-graduate course in the complementary and alternative treatment of infertility. Her practice has mainly consisted of hormonal imbalances, infertility, the post-partum period, and newborn care.
