Not So Dissimilar... Appreciating Homeopathy Anew Through the Lens of Nursing School
After 15 years of classical homeopathy practice, Kelly Callahan enrolled in a BSN program with aspirations of pursuing her FNP, to fulfill a vision of being a primary care provider who offers homeopathy first. While still in the early stages, Kelly has found that re-grounding in the sciences has illuminated the medical roots of homeopathy in a new way. The concept of the professional homeopath is relatively new, and most of the old literature and our references are filled with medical references that are easily skipped over or vaguely understood in favor of modern homeopathy perspectives.
Learning Objectives
-
Describe the unique ways both conventional and homeopathy training and philosophy create a solid foundation for quality, homeopathic health care.
-
Identify the contributions of medical and scientific theory and knowledge within homeopathy’s foundation and how the current climate (cultural, political, scientific, and medical) impacts homeopathy.
-
Recognize the tangible contributions of various sciences and the conventional medical perspective that can be found within homeopathic tools: repertory, materia medica, provings, research, and client management.
Kelly Callahan RS(Hom)NA has been in private practice with Concentric Healing Homeopathy since 2011. She is a graduate of the Baylight Center for Homeopathy (under Nancy Frederick), and the Dynamis School for Advanced Homeopathy (Jeremy Sherr). In 2014 Kelly started teaching at Baylight, then joined the Academy of Homeopathy Education in 2019 after connecting with Denise Straiges and Alastair Gray through her podcast, 1M: a Homeopath’s Podcast. As a part of the core faculty at the AHE, Kelly teaches foundational classes, as well as leads live clinics and supervises senior students in their final stage of training. Teaching and practicing are Kelly’s dream combination as a practitioner of homeopathy. She keeps that dream life going away from the computer by walking her two beloved dogs in the woods daily, coaxing vegetables from the ground and trying to get as much time possible with her two grown children who now have exciting lives away from home. Most recently, she’s getting used to being the wife of a firefighter, after her husband made a 180-degree career change in the last few years.

Learn About the Homeopathic Nurses Association
The Homeopathic Nurses Association (HNA) is a professional support organization for nurses all around the world who are interested in or use homeopathy with their family and friends, or are homeopathic practitioners.
HNA is great place to join with other nurses to learn and apply the principles of homeopathy to your practice or for self-care.
Nurses are a driving force in the advancement of health care, including integrating complementary modalities for the benefit of our clients. Homeopathy, like nursing, is an art and a science. Joining nursing and homeopathy allows nurses to bring something special to their clients, family and friends. Because nurses have already learned to provide "holistic care," they make excellent homeopathic practitioners.
Founded in 1984, HNA is working to bring homeopathy into the mainstream of nursing care. We reach out to those in the nursing profession in order to share the benefits of homeopathic health care and the rewards of homeopathic practice.

What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a medical system based on the “law of similars" (like cures like.) This gentle and effective holistic healing system,was founded over 200 years ago by German physician, Samuel Hahnemann. According to The World Health Organization, homeopathy is the second largest kind of alternative medicine used today.
The term Homoeopathy means "similar suffering". It uses similars to cure similars. This is an ancient idea used by Hippocrates, but Dr. Hahnemann expanded this idea into a complete system of medicine in use world-wide.
This medicine recognizes that each person expresses illness or imbalance through symptoms: mental, emotional and physical. These symptoms are used in totality to choose a homeopathic preparation of a substance which has been found to evoke those same symptoms in a healthy person. These non-suppressive, non-toxic ”remedies" can be used for acute and chronic problems of all kinds. Homeopathy is a safe and effective, federally recognized, and backed by research studies, cases, and clinical trials.
Pandemic Statement
Homeopathy has an enduring record for reducing morbidity and mortality around the globe, during epidemics, for over 200 years. As health care educators we have a responsibility to refer people in our communities to an appropriate professional for treatment of viral symptoms. HNA also encourages individuals to follow the guidelines of healthcare officials for avoiding and containing pandemic illness.
