We are honoured to present three committed leaders in the homeopathic field who bring new, diverse, and inspirational visions for the future of homeopathy. 



Douglas Brown, CCH, RSHom(NA)

Doug Brown became possessed by the spirit of Homeopathy in 1997, after struggling to restore faith and meaning in his conventional medical practice as a Family Nurse Practitioner.  He graduated from the Hahnemann College of Homeopathy in 2001.  After one year at Hahnemann, however, seized by the perception of what homeopathy could do, he found himself unable to continue in his Nurse Practitioner positions in good conscience.  He resigned and began his practice of 100% homeopathy in Portland, Oregon, and Walla Walla, Washington. 

Many homeopaths will remember that Doug was the former editor of the NASH News, newsletter of the North American Society of Homeopaths.  His editorials were eloquent and inspirational, often saved and re-read.  He has also published several articles in Homeopathic Links and The American Homeopath, and teaches homeopathy at the American Medical College of Homeopathy in Phoenix, AZ and the Seattle Community School.  Beyond homeopathy, Doug enjoys his family and two children, and is an avid amateur chamber musician pursuing studies in violin and viola.  <More. . .>



Roland Guenther, MD, PhD

Roland Guenther has been one of the promoting forces in the development of Gnostic C-4 Homeopathy and has led workshops in Germany, Switzerland, Norway, and Canada.  C-4 workshops offer a spiritual path to those interested in a deeper connection to life and to creation.  For those who choose this path, authentic insight and revelation are experienced through the practical preparation of C-4 Homeopathic remedies.  The emphasis in Dr. Guenther’s healing work lies in finding the hidden message behind disease, and to turn suffering into growth on the path to a higher level of health and wellness.  His dedication to facilitating the healing journey is supported with a deep abiding love for all of creation, to which there exists a profound connection in the experiential C-4 Homeopathic Trituration workshops.



Julie Anne Lee, RCSHom, DCH

Julie Anne Lee is passionate about animals and their health. First trained as a veterinary technician, she studied homeopathy at the Vancouver Academy of Homeopathy, graduating in 1997.  Julie has worked with veterinarians across Canada and in the UK, providing classical homeopathic treatment to animals with acute and/or chronic conditions. With her mentor, veterinary surgeon Dr. Susan Armstrong, a faculty member of the British Homeopathic Physicians Teaching Group, Julie has studied with some of the most renowned international homeopaths including George Vithoulkas in Greece, Rajan Sankaran in India, and Mark Elliott and John Saxon in England.  She is also an associate member of the British Association of Homeopathic Veterinary Surgeons and was a guest lecturer at their 2002 conference.

As well as her busy practice in the Lower Mainland, Julie provides lecture and mentorship programmes that advocate the homeopathic treatment of animals. She works tirelessly to be a voice for those who cannot speak and to make homeopathic animal care accessible to every type of animal lover, no matter what socio-economic group they belong.  <More. . .>
