"Misha Norland is
my dear friend and valued colleague for over two decades.
He has a solid foundation in classical homeopathy, both in
its philosophy and practice. Yet, he has the openness and
creativity to explore new avenues and latest advances. His
school is a reflection of this beautiful blend, where students
are taught the science systematically and also encouraged
to explore and enjoy the process."

Geoff has been a vet for 20 years and until recently ran
a busy mixed surgery treating everything under the sun on
the edge of Exmoor! However the bug of homeopathy bit him
unexpectedly one hay fever summer and he subsequently trained
as a homeopathic vet. When animal owners starting asking for
whatever Daisy had had for their own ailments he became a
homeopath for people too. Now he runs a purely homeopathic
surgery and doesn’t know how many legs his patient will
have until looking into the waiting room. Geoff has a wonderful
teaching style that is always appreciated by students.

The School is very lucky to have Dr. Dinesh Chauhan as a guest lecturer from India. Dinesh comes to the School to teach every other year. He is Insightful and passionate about Homeopathy, and is one of the influential figures in today’s Homeopathic world. Distinguished as a lecturer by his ability to captivate his listeners’ attention as he masterfully makes Homoeopathic theory come to life. Dr Chauhan’s biggest asset is his capacity to take participants with him step by step. Dinesh worked closely with Dr. Rajan Sankaran on his book ‘An Insight into Plants – Volume I and II’. A popular teacher, he delivers seminars in around the world.
"School of Homoeopathy in real sense to me is a 'Unio-Mystica' - A cross Road where both Classical and Modern Homoeopathy meets, where learning for healing the patients (Through Homeopathy) as well as the healer (the homoeopath) happens simultaneously, where sharing of the knowledge happens through an integrative, student centric manner. In short, it is a potential space that facilitates its students to search the master within."
- Dr. Dinesh Chauhan

Jenny Grist changed her career eleven years ago to train as a homeopath with the School of Homeopathy. Homeopathy had already been part of her life for the previous ten years, having read widely on the subject and used the remedies to treat the animals on the farm where she lives. It was the success of these early homeopathic cases that brought her to realise how powerful and effective homeopathy could be. Since qualifying as a homeopath in 2002, Jenny went on to study at the Dynamis School for Advanced Homeopathy, graduating in 2006. Jenny has built up a thriving practice in Mid Devon and now teaches at various schools including the attendance course at the School of Homeopathy.

Polly trained as a homeopath because she wanted to work with people in a holistic way. She studied at the School. She was lucky enough to grow up with homeopathy (her mother was an advocate of it) and likewise so have her children. Seventeen years ago, when her son's severe ear infections failed to resolve it was homeopathy that finally helped it - and his stutter went too! She has lived in the New Forest, near Ringwood for over 10 years and it has very much become her home, community and healing centre.

Jo trained at the School and now has a thriving practice in Bath treating patients with a variety of conditions. She enjoys mentoring work, especially Materia Medica. Having had the benefit of an excellent tutor whilst she studied on the correspondence course, Jo is delighted to be able to offer help and support to those students embarking on the correspondence course today. She became aware of homeopathy as a child when her younger sister was treated homeopathically for her very severe eczema. The remedy used made a substantial difference and the family continued to use homeopathy at home.
