The Montreal Institute of Classical Homeopathy

Faculty

The MICH faculty is made up of a small group of individuals who come from complementary backgrounds, but with common interests: holism and homeopathy. We have collaborated for many years in teaching, researching holistic approaches, and the role of personal transformation in healing. We all teach by vocation, share a common work ethic and personal devotion to teaching. This makes for a well-integrated faculty with members who deeply respect each other and value each other’s contributions. As a team, we provide consistency in both philosophy and approach and know how to work together and for the students’ best interests. All MICH teachers hold a holistic understanding of the human condition, and the transpersonal nature of homeopathic practice.

After many years working as a yoga teacher and holistic therapist, her homeopathy experience opened up a whole new world to her that was so fascinating that she had no choice but to enroll in the MICH program. Kate is now practicing full time as a homeopath and is deeply passionate about her practice and the journey she travels on with each of her clients as they enquire and explore into their own inner worlds, bringing a greater sense of clarity and freedom to their lives.
