Dear Sheri,
Thanks so much for allowing me to view your introductory study course.
I was constantly amazed at the amount of work you put into preparing
the material and supporting those students who kept up. Your answers
were clear, concise, affirming, and encouraging -- such patience you
must have. I mentioned your choice of textbooks to Miranda and she was
thrilled to hear that her book was being put to such good use. So any
thoughts I may have had about starting a similar course with the West
Coast Homeopathic Society have now completely vanished. I will
enthusiastically recommend your course to anyone wanting any
introductory study.

If you could send me a schedule of when you expect to start future
courses, I would like to promote them on the announcements page of the
WCHS website. Also, if you get a specific webpage for this course
(perhaps you already have one -- I haven't checked for awhile) please
let me know and I will add the address to our educational links. I'd
like to help get the word out however I can.

Congratulations on a superb accomplishment! My very best wishes. Jo

Just to let you know that I have been requiring some of the people who
have come in to work with me (office/administrative side of things) to
do your course as part of their employment (paid by Homeopathy Plus!)
to bring them up to speed with homeopathy. Great service!
Many thanks,

I had been using homeopathy for acutes for a little over 5 years, when
I came to Sheri's class. I'd also been receiving homeopathic treatment
for a chronic condition for a year with excellent results, and had
become inspired to see if I had what it takes to truly learn the
principles of homeopathy. The first great thing in Sheri's class was
her choice of Miranda Castro's book; I had been looking for a home
manual for some time and had not found one up to that point; Miranda's
book is perfect for me and my family members (who have been coming to
me for homeopathic "advice" for some time).Secondly, Sheri's approach
to the history and basic principles is concise and understandable,
which is no mean feat in homeopathy! From the way the cases in
Miranda's book are presented in the class (with much feedback and
mentoring) to the many "extra" articles Sheri provides from the
current leaders in the field, this class is an excellent way to learn
the healing principles that make homeopathy work so well. Whether a
person wants to learn the basic applications for a family, or (as in
my case) seeks a foundation for advanced learning, I will recommend
Sheri's course to everyone with an interest in using this wonderful
healing art.

Sheri's course on Homeopathy is well-taught and *very* comprehensive,
touching upon every possible subject you could think of in an Intro
Course. To give you an example:
I was only about halfway through Sheri's course when I attended my
first Homeopathy Study meeting offered through the NCH (National
Center for Homeopathy). The people meeting within this study group had
been doing so for almost four years, and a few months prior to this
meeting the lady who ran it said that they didn't want to have to
regress for a "newbie" or go over the same old things again. But I
insisted that I wouldn't be a burden and wanted to attend. To make a
long story short, I went in December and was surprised to find that I
knew and understood over 90% of what was taught and discussed at that
meeting (and I even already had some of the books they were using!). I
had Sheri's teachings to thank for that.

Prior to Sheri's class I had read Miranda Castro's book, but Sheri
brought it to life in the best way possible. She made the pages come
alive and made understanding new concepts very enjoyable.

If you're at all interested in learning about a non-allopathic way to
treat yourself or family for acute illnesses, this is THE course for
you. The knowledge you'll learn is priceless, especially if you have a
family and/or children who depend on you to take care of them. And for
anyone who's into no-vaxxing, you MUST take this class; your children
will be better off with the knowledge that you'll gain.

Sheri has my highest recommendations, and I'll always look at her as
my mentor and the one who brought me to the world of Homeopathy :-)

I have been interested in alternative therapies since I could read. I
have always felt that allopathic medicine was too "generalized" for
the population. That one cold remedy can relieve symptoms for millions
of people that are individuals simply never made sense to me. This
course taught me so much about looking at every person as an
individual. Not only for acute illness diagnosis, but also simply to
connect with them. While it is designed to be an introduction, what I
have learned through the reading and course book has inspired me to
plan to continue my studies in the area of homeopathy. Ms. Nakken is a
patient, thorough instructor. Her willingness to lead a course with
more than 100 people signed up, yet be able to give personal attention
is truly a beautiful and valuable skill. Her extensive knowledge makes
the course run smoothly and at a good pace. I have enjoyed this course
on many, many levels.
