30 Days of Learning Homeopathy – Genuine Feedback From Real People
Every four months, Homeopathy Plus presents its popular Homeopathy in 30 Days Course, drawing passionate participants worldwide. Curious about their thoughts?
Here are authentic insights shared through our post-course evaluation form-candid responses from real people when asked what they liked.
Exceeded expectations “The course touched on so many things needed to understand homeopathy beyond my expectations. I was so happy I got to learn how to use digital repertory…such a great tool! I love the forum where we could ask questions and learn from other students’ posts, and Fran was an amazing instructor who always took the time to answer each of our questions patiently and clearly, and she explained so well that it made difficult subjects easier to grasp. Absolutely recommend this course!”
In-depth yet concise “Such an in-depth course, yet somehow managing to cover the material in just 30 days! Love being able to have lifetime access. The course is much more than what I expected, even after reading the amazing reviews. Fran has somehow managed to condense an incredible amount of information in a short amount of time, and also make the information digestible. The forum and Zoom calls have been indispensable in addressing questions that arose during the course. The list of books and other online resources provided has also been very useful. The course is accessible to the absolute beginner and gives us enough confidence to treat our own family and friends-that is incredibly empowering!”
Ideal introductory course “The course was just what I was looking for. As an introductory course, I was afraid that it might be too simplistic, but you gave us plenty to deep dive. I also liked the variety of sources, videos for further study. Your website is very well done. Thank you for spreading this knowledge and keeping it alive. You will probably never know the full extent of your influence. I couldn’t be more excited about what I have learned, and I look forward to putting it into good use. Thank you and all the best. Please let me know about future courses, chats, programs, etc.”
New insights on remedies “I was exposed to new and detailed information regarding the most commonly used homeopathy remedies which I never would have known about.”
Highly recommended “I enjoyed studying the principles of Homeopathy, in conjunction with a daily remedy synopsis from the materia medica. Before taking this course, I was studying the works of Nash but the material was a little confusing without a basic foundation of homeopathic medicine. This course offered that foundation in a simple direct way while providing other resources for further study beyond the 30 day lessons. I’ve been able to memorize and easily recall remedy keynotes, and get good practice with repertorization. I would highly recommend this course for anyone seriously interested in Homeopathy and willing to devote at least an hour a day to study. The ‘test your knowledge’ quizzes were one of my favorite parts of the course, and helped me to better refresh my memory and retain information. The forum is an invaluable resource for getting a good grasp on the material (especially for a young novice like me) and I was grateful for the guidance during my first case analysis. There was a lot of information to cover with each lesson, so it took me longer than 30 days to complete. I liked all the extra links and reading materials but even with 4 hours of study there isn’t time to explore everything in depth so I was grateful for the course flexibility which allowed me to work at my own pace. Overall it was an enriching learning experience.”
Great information! “All the great information to be able to continue on learning. The ability to engage.”
Ability to Engage “I like the in-depth information and the emphasis on being introduced to classical texts in homeopathy and to start to understand its principles and foundations. I was positively surprised that this was not just another first-aid/acute remedy course but actually an introduction to homeopathy, including the Materia Medica and repertories. Now I believe I have a clearer understanding of what studying homeopathy entails as I continue my learning. I also like that I am able to take it on my own pace. I love the ability to engage on the forum and have the questions answered.”
Videos enhanced learning “I thoroughly enjoyed this course and the way it was presented. Being a visual person the videos helped enhance the learning of each remedy. I personally did the two hour deep dive every night which was quite intense but there was always the option to take more time to fit into your lifestyle. I will now, at the end of the course, spend time going over, absorbing and reviewing what I have learned. I also attended the zoom meetings which I found extremely helpful to have the ability to ask and/or listen to questions of Fran. Having dabbled in homeopathy for many years I feel my understanding of the remedies has improved immensely and I am much more confident in dosages. Thank you so much for a wonderful course. I look forward to joining you again some time in the future.”
Detailed yet beginner-friendly “Plenty of detail without being overwhelming for beginners/home prescribers.”
Mobile-friendly and accessible “Ease of access and options. It was structured for varied preferences, was mobile friendly as much as laptop as a long term traveller having access in airports and strange places is important. Being able to read and refer to questions to enhance learning. It’s supporting the gradual building of knowledge around homeopathy and moving me forward toward deeper learning. The examples of conditions and examples of key expressions of remedies have nuances and how they were resolved and why was very useful.”
Extensive and thorough “It’s very extensive and will require a few passes to get through all the material. Extremely thorough. An excellent base from where to move forward.”
Step-by-step principles “I liked how the principles of homeopathy were laid out in a step by step way throughout the course and applied to first aid, acute, and chronic cases. I’m amazed at how much I learned in such a short time, especially through the use of cases. Fran’s answers to questions in the Forum and in Zoom meetings were thorough and clarified difficult issues. I always came away from those exchanges feeling my understanding of homeopathy had increased exponentially.”
Self-paced learning “‘Homeopathy in 30 Days’ allowed me to study at my own pace. It also provided opportunities to test and assess my learning progress. Information was presented in easily absorbed packages, lots of repetition of key information and opportunities to practice what we learned. The forum was a real asset for getting feedback. I also appreciated that each of the students got individual feedback from our instructor.”
Outstanding instructor and materials “The course materials are excellent and Fran an outstanding instructor. I had NO idea the level of complexity in being a homeopathic practitioner. Fran’s knowledge and skills are amazing. I have a new appreciation for homeopathy and have purchased several of the printed books suggested for reference. I’m anxious to dig deeper!”
No complaints “I have no complaints about the course. I loved everything about it.”
Suited my learning style “I personally liked everything about it, it suited my learning style so I have no suggestions for any improvements.”
Helpful practitioner insights “Not really. There were several participants who were already homeopathic practitioners or had a good knowledge of homeopathy getting started. Their posts and questions were very helpful in increasing my understanding of the concepts. Timing of the Zoom meetings in the US didn’t work out for me, but the recordings were great to listen to; however, it would have been even better to have the recorded video. Thanks so much for a great experience!”
I could ask questions “that I could READ most of it. extremely well laid out; that I could ask questions.”
Value for money “It was very well structured and provided an opportunity to access learning and materials not usually available in a short course. Excellent standard of teaching, opportunity to ask questions. Good value for money.”
Freedom “The freedom to do as much or as little as we wanted.”
Quick responses “Hi. I liked the consistency of the structure of the course, the levels of depth one could dive to, the knowledge of the presenter, the multitude of links, the videos… Dr. Todd Rowe and the Dr from India, the forum, and the quick responses to our comments, the flexibility to tap into it when I had the bandwidth for it.”
Thank you so very much!!! “Just spread the course out more so forums & zooms would be available for the longer time period. BTW, excellent value for all that we learned!!! Thank you so very much!!!”
I will recommend it “Thank you so much for all the efforts put into this course! I will certainly recommend it to anyone else looking to deepen their understanding of homeopathy! Again, thanks so much! I feel like I learned a lot! Now to keep practicing….”
Progressive learning structure “The course built upon itself. So what you learned one day, you ‘needed’ for the next.”
Flexible “Its time flexibility.”
A chance to go deeper “The tremendous amount of information provided and how it was provided. I loved that you brought us back around to learn more about different aspects of homeopathy, to have to go back and relook at previous lessons, go deeper, think more. This course is far from rote learning/memorization-it’s about ‘getting it!’ For example, how many times does your course material tell us that homeopathy moves across mucous membranes? Many, many but when did I ‘get’ that piece? In the Q&A about vaccines vs homeopathy and your succinct point about in the blood/tissues (injection) vs ‘across the membranes.’ I won’t forget that now.”
Broad knowledge “It was well thought out, and explained at a level I could understand. I’ve taken other courses that were more money and not as good. I appreciated Fran’s broad knowledge.”
Energy, clarity, calm and humor “all of it, especially listening to the Q and A sessions. really enjoy Fran’s energy, clarity and calm and humor, not to mention her seemingly vast knowledge!”
Interactive forums and Q&As “I loved the interactive aspect with the forums and zoom Q&As. The course is designed in such a way to make our brains be in a place of active learning.”
Learning remedies and cases “I learned remedies along with general information. There was cases and practice.”
Professionalism
“The overview, literature material and professionalism of the team.”
Supportive instructor feedback “Fran was always there to answer questions, give feedback, help in any way. There was a lot of information and I liked the freedom to do as much as we wanted or could do (some days I was in a crunch and couldn’t do the Deep Dive) but the information is there and I plan to go back to the beginning and start over to do the thing I missed the first time.”
I’ve recommended a family member “the order of the layout (good job IT), and all of the information offered! Also, the forum and the phone calls which provided the opportunity to discuss concerns/questions. Fran Sheffield is a teacher who I respect because of her knowledge and communication style. In fact I trust her so much, I’ve recommended her to a family member and a friend with similar progressive (and ‘terminal’) neurological disorders.”
Centralized information “I liked having all the information in one place, so I can dip in and out when I have time.”
No-pressure learning “The one thing I enjoyed the most was that I could take my time in learning! No pressure to hurry through the daily lessons! The lessons are awesome and full of information! An excellent course with help when you needed it!”
Engaging research opportunities “Really-the only thing I can say is I would get ‘side tracked’ going into the ‘weeds’ so to speak, and I’d spend all day researching topics because it was all so interesting :-)”
I learned so much it scares me “I loved the course. I’ve had the Kent repertory book for 2 years and didn’t know how to use it. I could still use a course of some kind to help me understand it better. It’s very hard for me to find anything, which makes using Firefly difficult too. I really enjoyed the in-depth look at the specific remedies. I learned so much it scares me about what I don’t know.”
I surprised myself “The biggest take-away are twofold: 1. I understood the scope of the field and practice of homeopathy; got an idea where to search when I need to decide on course or treatment or to go into theoretical studies such as scientific journals 🙂 2. I got inspired to continue and delve more into homeopathy. Thank you! As to the course modalities and concomitants, I liked-that most of the material was from the HomeopathyPlus websites with consistent presentation and style. And at the same time, when needed, pointers to other websites and repertories, YT videos where very appropriate and well-integrated into the flow of material;-the existence of forum where we all could interact;-that Fran and admins were very patient and thorough in answering participant questions,-that Zoom interactions were stressing important points and participants could ask questions too,-that participants have unlimited access to the course materials post-course. Finally, I surprised myself that I’ve finished more of the course by the 30th day than I thought I would getting into the course based on my work and other schedules => a huge plus for the course content and organization. and a huge minus for my sleep hours. ;-)”
Global and flexible “Anyone from around the world could join • The course could be completed at one’s own pace • All of the additional articles and links were really helpful, e.g., David Little’s chapter on miasms, ‘Remedies for Disasters’, Hahnemann’s Chronic Diseases material, etc. • The content was deeper and broader than what is included in most courses at this level (there is not a lot out there for the lay prescriber) • The instructor’s answers to participants’ questions were complete and enriched the knowledge of all • I appreciated the Rest Days! • The Zoom meetings were great and it was wonderful to put faces to names • Every question either in the Zoom meetings or online was considered equally and answered fully, no matter the knowledge or experience of the questioner • I was grateful to learn more about Symptom Categories and Classifications. I ended up making my own bulleted definition list so I could refer to them when needed. It was comforting to know that others spend years learning about and becoming familiar with them. • It was a bit of a struggle to get more familiar with HomPath’s Firefly. The video repertorizing Margaret’s case was very helpful • Dr. Todd Rowe’s videos were helpful.”
Very happy “Very happy that I can learn how to prescribe homeopathy remedy for myself.”
Repertories
“Introduction to repertories and case studies.”
Organized Q&A structure “The Q&As – zoom, and forum structure with references is really great, very well organised.”
EVERYTHING!!! “EVERYTHING!!! The most important thing to me as a 3 year lay student was the introduction to repertorization. This was such a perfect introduction to get my feet wet in this daunting methodology. I appreciated so much the Quick Study or Deep Dive choices and loved getting the remedy references from three materia medicas plus videos. Another most valuable aspect of the course was the amount of reference tools you provided. The format of each lesson and the volume of information was such a gift and I highly, highly recommend this course to anyone interested in digging deeper to expand their knowledge base in homeopathy. Thank you so much. Well worth the investment :)”
Exhilarating and illuminating “It was exhilarating and illuminating at the same time, learning about the remedies. I thought I knew quite a lot but quickly learnt that I have much more to do. I will slowly go through the rest of the remedies and hopefully finish the course over the next months. It has whetted my appetite for more learning, as I believe in the homeopathic way of healing.”
Engaging video content “The videos.”
Learning to use a repertory “The tools and teaching of how to use a Repertory.”
The interaction “All the great material and being able to interact with course instructors to ask questions at any time. Also enjoyed seeing everyone’s questions/answers in the forum. My favorite, even though I was unable to attend any of them in person were the zoom meetings. I loved the interaction everyone had and all the great questions/answers!”
Structured learning with quizzes “So much information and the structure of learning was great. Fran is very knowledgeable and a fantastic teacher. I loved the quizzes, the zoom meetings, and the option to do extra reading/research.”
I am so glad you offered the course “accessibility to people help…once I figured it out! Zoom is great idea, but I was disappointed in the participation. I am so glad you offered the course. I am encouraged!!”
Sad it is finished “Everything, I enjoyed it very much and sad that’s it’s now finished.”
Forums remained usable on course completion “I enjoyed the example stories, tests and practice. Especially being able to check answers. There was a lot of great information in the responses. I was also grateful that the forums remained usable after the course completed, and that the meetings were recorded.”
Graduated information “The exposure to information in a graduated environment was great at the start … I appreciated the amazing tech support and the timeliness on the questions posted by all (very important!). LOVED the testing portions – great to have on file for a quick reference.”
Deepened understanding “So much information which has given me a greater understanding of Homeopathy.”
Well-organized materials “The materials to read are wonderful. Thank you too for the organization of the material.”
Valuable insights “Very valuable information, different ways of diagnosing & very interesting.”
Provoking and stimulating “studying and learning about a subject that I care about and find extremely interesting. I am grateful and appreciate that you are creating this opportunity by the course. It was all very interesting, I thought the questions we had to answer were provoking and stimulating, the format of the course was well organized. Although not physically present Fran had a very strong presence, I could feel her support, kindness and patience attending the students questions and needs.”
Clear explanations “Fran is amazing. She has extensive knowledge and experience in Homeopathy. Her clear and succinct explanation was delightful. I took other homeopathy course in other place and it was not clear at all.”
Balanced learning “I would say everything was given in good proportion; reading material, video and practice.”
Empowering “The depth of information was fantastic and the interactive nature was really helpful. It was also of huge comfort at the moment to be in a safe place of like minded people seeking greater understanding of health. It was positive, empowering and uplifting to learn a new skill that can help my family with more choices for health. It really helped me mentally and emotionally to do something like this at this time. I was very grateful for it.”
Flexible lesson levels “The 3 levels of lesson, 5 min, 20 min, and 2 hours. If I had a busy day, I could look at the 5 minute lesson and come back later for more. I also liked the variety of teaching approaches, patients stories, tutorials, different repertories, quick tips, weekly zoom calls, Q and A opportunities. Excellent course!”
Classroom-like Zoom meetings “The weekly Zoom meetings provided a classroom type experience, which added a layer of further understanding through the additional information Fran shared as well as the questions asked by participants. The rest days with quizzes worked well and gave participants time to catch up and/or let the material soak in more fully. Also appreciated the information Fran explained in the lessons and through the forum.”
Flexible study “Flexibility in how and when to study.”
Loved the entire course! “Being new to homeopathy, I LOVED the entire course and learned A LOT! I did enjoy the quizzes, especially the crossword format. I will definitely be taking advantage of the generous offer to continue learning through the course upgrades. THANK YOU for allowing the continuing education for free! Most of the time, I was studying the Two-Hour Deep-Dive and found it to be very helpful, but a bit overwhelming, only because I kept going ‘deeper’ (so that was actually, my doing, not the course…). I usually ended up spending 4 – 6 hours a day on the course, and LOVED it! I think the Forum is a great learning tool because I was able to see other perspectives and how to look at the cases differently. I have also been able to become more in ‘tune’ with what my body is telling me and how to describe symptoms just by reading the cases, going through the repertory process and reading the Materia Medica.”
Interactive forum “I enjoyed the forum where we could post answers to the lessons and also questions on whatever topic we liked.”
Diverse learning modalities “The vast amount of knowledge and different modalities, videos, materia medica, news articles of interest.”
Completely satisfying “Nothing – I liked it all. I can’t really say there was anything that I didn’t like.”
Self-paced and revisit-friendly “Nothing I can add. Glad it is self-paced as I would not have coped…still working thru it all. Glad I can revisit and appreciate the forum chats. Thank you all for your patience.”
