Elizabeth Chapman ND (Australia)
I love being part of the Canadians for Homeopathy committee and helping more Canadians experience the power of homeopathy. It has been a constant in my life since childhood. As a young traveller in India, I read Margery Blackie’s book The Patient, Not the Cure: The Challenge of Homeopathy, and this inspired me to become a full-time student. I attended the Southern School of Natural Therapies in Melbourne, Australia and later studied with a homeopathic doctor in India. While living in Nepal, I was part of the team that replicated Dr Jennifer Jacob’s clinical trial on the treatment of childhood diarrhea, Homeopathic treatment of acute childhood diarrhea: results from a clinical trial in Nepal https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.
Shirley Guertin
Shirley’s journey into homeopathy is rooted in a personal experience with her ailing child, who found swift relief from a long-standing illness through homeopathic treatment. This prompted a profound shift in her life, transforming how she cared for both her family and a large herd of horses, sometimes reaching 60 in number. Despite her busy life managing a large horse operation, she found dedicated teachers in homeopathy to guide and teach her, and witnessed numerous homeopathic miracles through the years. Now retired from farm life, she merges her love for homeopathy and teaching, sharing its benefits to many.
