School History
In 1990, the Classical Homeopathy Certificate Program was established as a branch of the Massage Therapy Institute of Colorado (USA). The original program, founded by Mark Manton and Barbara Seideneck, was approved by the State of Colorado and enrolled twenty-three students at the Denver, Colorado site. This program, one of the first modern homeopathy trainings offered in the United States, soon expanded from a one-year to three-year training.
Further development and expansion led to establishing the school as an independent institution. By September 1995 the school earned its non-profit status 501(c)(3). In 1996 the school moved to Boulder, Colorado, at the foot of the gorgeous Rocky Mountains.
The school’s Distance Education Program was established in 2002 in response to a growing demand for the availability of homeopathic education outside of Boulder, Colorado. Nationally and internationally recognized for excellence in homeopathic education, the Homeopathy School International (HSI) now offers study options to students worldwide. The school has graduated professional homeopaths since 1991.
I have been a professional student my whole adult life, so I feel that I have a lot of experience with which to compare my tenure at HSI. The classes are focused, well organized and taught in a way to be intellectually rigorous and stimulating. The program makes the study of homeopathy come to life, providing an excellent foundation to become a good practitioner. I can sincerely say that the two years at HSI yielded one of the most fulfilling learning opportunities I’ve ever had.
Advisory Council
The school’s advisory council provides recommendations for the continuing improvement and enrichment of the school’s educational programs. The council meets annually and includes homeopathic practitioners, students, alumni, and community members representing alternative healing modalities.
The Homeopathy School has given me an extraordinary homeopathic education. As a distance student, the classroom experience came to me virtually and I was able to learn along with my classmates. The instruction was among the finest available and the scope of the information prepared me for a successful homeopathic practice. My instructors were always available by phone or email.
I will say I am totally amazed at how very complex this study is. I am impressed with the amount and presentation of the information. I believe having various teachers and speakers for seminars is an extremely valuable part of the program and it gives all of us a wider view of this field and a much deeper understanding of the art involved in homeopathy.
I will always be grateful to you, the other instructors and HSI. I have a store front homeopathy clinic in small town Iowa right now, but am considering going virtual. Beyond motherhood, this is my dream, thank you for helping me make it reality!
Very appreciatively, Rachel McDaniel
The openness of the instructor demonstrating her own experience makes it all less intimidating. There is a certain “sense of wonder” to her style that is encouraging for the beginner.
My teacher is wonderful and gentle with us. I feel I can easily ask her anything. I enjoy her examples of actual cases. They really paint a lasting picture and are a great learning tool for me.
I was completely impressed with the program. I appreciate how well-organized it was, the quality of the instructors, the support of faculty, and how this program has given me a much deeper appreciation and understanding of homeopathy. I truly enjoyed the teaching.
The instructor’s love for homeopathy and her commitment to bringing it into the world is apparent. She conveys concepts clearly and ties in examples of interesting cases. She makes potentially difficult concepts easy to understand.
For me just seeing all these different cases is so valuable. I am so happy I took this Advanced Studies Program. I know it will make me a better homeopath.
I congratulate the program and the instructors for the organization of the course and the academic level offered. Each course is well selected and properly structured according to level of learning achieved. I want to highlight my personal case supervisor who has been very helpful with her comments, as well as my support faculty with her help in the different assignments. Thank you! And thank you to each of my teachers for transmitting the love for what they do and for teaching me how to heal in a kind and effective way. The program exceeded my expectations!
I was extremely pleased with my education at HSI and felt well-prepared to start my homeopathic practice. The valuable direction and feedback I received on my casework are what I try to pass on to my students.
I have really enjoyed the process of case supervision and got a lot out of it! I have valued your precision, guidance and insights. I feel different today compared to two years ago. You have been a huge piece of this. Thank you for all of your care.
I can absorb the knowledge because of how the remedies are presented and cross referenced with skits, stories, quizzes and tests combined. This gives me a strong focus for my studies.
You were instrumental in showing me a whole new way to view healing and I thank you for that.
I would really like to thank you for all the nice and encouraging feed back on my work and for returning the assignments so quickly. I am so glad I chose this program. I really enjoy it and will recommend it to anyone who is interested in Homeopathy. Great instructors and material that is interesting and challenging!
[The module] was a great experience. I had the chance to study homeopathy in the easiest way. I enjoyed every single moment in studying and especially the repertory homework. I think that giving more time per module is a good idea.
I feel that Barbara Seideneck is a true definition of what it means to be a healer. She is nice, caring and knowledgable in homeopathy. I feel like she follows what a true homeopath should be: unpredjudice, understanding with the desire to help others. I hope I can cultivate and grow these traits!
The video lessons were great! I forgot that I was sitting in my living room.
I am so grateful that I have had this opportunity to learn homeopathy from these knowledgeable and good-hearted people.
I have to admit that I was scared to attempt this at home, but thanks to your support, this turned out to be one of my best school experiences.
Awesome instructors! Dorothy Simoni is amazing. She replies and grades so fast!
