Registration Form

​Your Course, Your Choice: Hybrid or Entirely Online
168 hours CE

Hybrid: Session 1 is in-person in beautiful Traverse City, Michigan. Sessions 2-5 are online: a combination of live online sessions, work at your own pace webinars, study material, and case-work. Our intentionally small class size provides a great deal of personal mentoring support that is continued after graduation.
 
Online: Want to take the Foundations Course, but are unable to travel? We understand! It has been our experience that the students and faculty develop the best relationship when they get to meet in person, but we do not want to exclude anyone from our course simply because they cannot travel.
  • Session 1 is attended online in real time with the in-person faculty and class.
  • Sessions 2-5 follow the same study as the hybrid course described above.
 
Simply specify which class option you prefer (hybrid or online only) when you fill out your application form.
​
Please note: A minimum of 3 students enrolled in the hybrid option to attend in-person is required to offer the option of Session 1 in Traverse City. If we have fewer than 3 students choosing the hybrid option, the class will be provided entirely online. Enrolled students will be kept up to date monthly on the number of students enrolled in the hybrid option as the start date approaches. A final decision on the course style will be made at least 2 months prior to the Session 1 start date.

2023 Session One Foundations Course attendees, observing a homeopathic intake on Iris the dog, performed by faculty instructor Dr. Weis at a client's home on Sunday morning in Traverse City. The clients were so grateful for the healing that took place, they made breakfast for the class! Iris' intake provided the foundation for an on-going learning experience for the class, in which they learned step by step to take a homeopathic history, identify the best homeopathic medicine, and follow the patient's response to treatment through Session Five, when we returned for more breakfast and a follow up on Iris.

Praise from Graduates of the Foundations Course in Veterinary Homeopathy

Picture
"There's honestly so much I enjoyed it's hard to pick just one thing. I liked the community that was built-not easy to do when all but two sessions were online. But Laura and Lisa put their hearts and souls into this course and that's what built our community.

​I would say that the passion they bring to the course was amazing and what allowed all the other great things to fall into place - the learning, the homework, the lectures, webinars - all of it done with such love for the art of homeopathy."

​- Dr. Monica Turenne, Ann Arbor, Michigan​
Picture
"I really enjoyed the ability to ask questions and interact with the faculty and other students. Your passion and intelligence and confidence are contagious."

- Dr. Robert Blaylock
Murfreesboro, Tennessee

"I really enjoyed the encouragement and the constructive criticism...The instructors were always trying to bring out the best in me and were always helping me to understand the material."

- Dr. Kendra Jiannuzzi

"I liked the relaxed culture and fellowship. The content was outstanding, fascinating and life - or at least career - changing."

- Dr. Jeff Burroughs

"Beyond the material and the knowledge, I appreciated how much (the faculty) are so in tune with how we were learning and responding. I loved how empathic and patient you were when we couldn't understand."
