Teaching Homeopathy
Most of the teaching I do is with the 3rd and 4th years about setting up in practice and what I love about teaching the students that it’s a time in the course where they are getting ready to fly the nest and to prepare themselves to becoming professional practitioners so it’s a very special time in their development and a time when they really need help in thinking about how they are going to set up in practice and run the business and market themselves as homeopaths and this is an important part of the course and actually something that maybe differentiates us from other schools because we offer this and we help students to think about their marketing and their branding and how they  are going to present themselves and put themselves into their homeopathic practice and tell others about their practice and about homeopathy.

Teaching is the most amazing thing, because it opens doors for people, you are a facilitator in a process in which the student is coming to know more not just about the subject but very specifically about themselves, and how to use the information they are receiving from books and from yourself in a way that is true for them a way that helps them to unfold themselves to themselves in such a way that they can then step out of the picture.
