Homeopathy is often talked about… but here are a few things many people do not realise.

• It has been used for over 200 years.
Developed by Samuel Hahnemann in the late 1700s.

• It is used by millions worldwide.
Estimated over 200 million people use homeopathy regularly.

• It is based on individualisation.
Two people with the same diagnosis may receive completely different remedies.

• It was once widely used in hospitals.
In the 19th century, homeopathic hospitals existed across Europe and the US.

• It focuses on the whole person.
Not just physical symptoms, but emotions, energy, and general state.

• Remedies are prepared through dilution and succussion.
A unique pharmaceutical process still used today.

• It is commonly used in everyday situations.
From injuries and colds to stress and sleep support.

• It is part of integrative care in some countries.
Used alongside conventional medicine in places like India, Switzerland, and Germany.

• Many people discover it by accident.
Often when nothing else has fully helped.

• Learning homeopathy changes how you see health.
Not just what you take, but how you understand the body.

Get noticed. Find your people. Build a practice that feels right for you.

If you are a homeopath who knows you have more to offer but feel unsure how to reach the right clients… this is something very special.

2 Day Online Course with Tracey Bransfield
April 25th and 26th | Live on Zoom

This is not about complicated marketing or pushing yourself into something that does not feel natural.

This is about simple, honest ways to connect.
Ways that feel like you.

During these two days, Tracey will guide you through how to:
• Understand who your ideal clients really are
• Use easy, practical tools to share your work online
• Create natural, consistent engagement without overwhelm
• Recognise and move through inner blocks that may be holding you back

There is space here to learn… but also to reflect.

Because sometimes the biggest shift happens when something just clicks inside you. When things feel clearer. Lighter. Possible.

By the end of the course, you will walk away with your own clear plan for growing your practice in a way that feels steady and sustainable.

This course is perfect if you are returning to practice or simply ready for a fuller, more vibrant one.

Open to all graduates of accredited homeopathy courses.

Course details:
Dates: April 25th and 26th
Format: Live on Zoom
Cost: €240

Tracey brings real experience, warmth, and understanding of what it is like to build a practice from the ground up… and how to keep going when doubts appear.

If this has been on your mind for a while… maybe this is your moment.

Did you know?

Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy, was so frustrated with the medicine of his time, that he actually stopped practising it.

Why?
Because treatments often did more harm than good.

So, he made a bold decision.
He walked away, and started questioning everything.

He was not just a doctor,
he was also a chemist and linguist, speaking several languages and translating medical texts.

And this is where something incredible happened.

While translating a book about quinine, he became curious.
Instead of just reading, he tested it on himself.

What he discovered changed everything.

A substance that could cause symptoms in a healthy person,
could help relieve similar symptoms in someone unwell.

This became the foundation of homeopathy.

But he did not stop there.

He introduced ideas that still guide us today:
Listen deeply. Observe carefully. Treat the person, not just the diagnosis.

Over 200 years later, his work is still alive,
in every consultation,
in every remedy chosen with care,
in every person who feels truly seen and heard.

And this is exactly what we continue to share with our students today.

Remedy Spotlight
Veratrum album

Think of this remedy when you see:

• Sudden vomiting and diarrhoea at the same time
• Cold, pale skin with cold sweat on the forehead
• Rapid loss of strength, feeling faint
• Strong thirst despite feeling cold
• Cramping in the abdomen
• Person looks drained and weak very quickly

What stands out physically:

Cold body, even icy to touch
Sweating but still cold
Weakness after every episode
Face pale or even greyish
May need to lie down due to faintness

What stands out emotionally:

Intensity during illness
Restless or anxious
Can feel desperate or overwhelmed
Inner weakness despite strong outer expression

Better:
Warmth
Rest
Lying still

Worse:
Cold
Night
After eating or drinking

A simple way to remember it:
Cold, weak, and completely drained

A person might say:

“I feel like I have no strength left.”
“I’m freezing but sweating.”

This remedy should always be matched to the individual symptom picture. For deeper or ongoing concerns, it is best to work with a qualified homeopath.

If you would like to learn more about how homeopathy works, there are only a few spots remaining for our trainings this weekend.

A 42 year old woman comes with a sore throat that started suddenly two days ago.

The pain is clearly worse on the left side and feels like a sharp, constricting sensation, as if something is tight around her throat. Swallowing, especially liquids, makes it worse. She describes it as “it hurts more when I try to drink.”

She cannot tolerate anything around her neck. Even a light scarf feels unbearable and she keeps pulling at her collar.

Symptoms are worse after sleep. She says each morning she wakes feeling much worse, with increased pain and a sense of fullness in the throat. As the day goes on, it eases slightly.

Her throat looks dark red, slightly purplish, with a tendency to feel swollen. The pain sometimes extends from left to right.

She feels quite intense and talkative during the consultation, jumping from one topic to another. There is a sense of inner restlessness and heat. She prefers fresh air and feels worse in a warm room.

What remedy would help with this?

A mother came with her 8 year old son struggling with a persistent dry cough.

It was not an ordinary cough.

• Deep, barking, spasmodic
• Comes in long fits, one cough after another
• Worse after midnight
• Worse when lying down
• Ends with gagging, almost vomiting

At night, it was exhausting.

He would wake suddenly with intense coughing fits, unable to stop once it started.

What do you think might help?

Would you like to be able to handle cases like that? Sign up for one of our courses, and we’ll show you how to pick the right remedies and use them in your own cases.

Homeopathy is being researched, and the results are encouraging.

Over the past years, more and more studies have explored how homeopathy works in real life.

Some of the most positive findings include:

• Clinical studies showing improvement in conditions such as allergies, respiratory issues, and stress related complaints.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11782339/

• Observational studies where patients report better sleep, improved energy, and overall wellbeing over time.
https://www.thieme-connect.com/products/ejournals/pdf/10.1055/a-2698-1976.pdf

• Research highlighting that individualised treatment gives the most promising results.
https://www.hri-research.org/resources/homeopathy-the-debate/

• A growing body of clinical trials and evidence summaries available through independent research organisations.
https://www.hri-research.org/resources/research-database/

One important thing stands out.

Homeopathy is not a one remedy for one illness system.
It is a personalised approach, and research is starting to reflect that.

When treatment matches the person, not just the diagnosis, results can be powerful.

This is why many people turn to homeopathy not only for quick relief, but for deeper and lasting change.

If you would like to learn more about it- join our One Day Workshop which will take place on tyhe 12th of April!

Hope to see you there!

It always starts with “One workshop won’t hurt…”

…and suddenly you see health very differently
…and sometimes… your whole life changes

This is not a joke!

Many of our students come to learn something basic and end up on their own healing journey. Would you like to see where it could take you?

Our previous student story:

“English was not my first language, but I knew I needed something different for my children. They could not keep taking antibiotics all the time. I started searching and reading about homeopathy. I signed up for a One-Day Workshop, hoping I could handle the language, and.... I was hooked!
Then I joined the Foundation Course because I wanted to learn more. I was not sure if I could commit to 4 years while working full time and looking after 3 children.

And now, 8 years later…

I run my own busy homeopathic practice but still have plenty of time for my family.
I left my old job and changed my habits.
I help people and see them getting better- This is the greatest reward I could have”

Do not wait!

Come and see where this path could lead you!
