New England School of Homeopathy
Celebrating Teaching the Art & Science of Classical Homeopathy since 1990
About the New England School of Homeopathy
The New England School of Homeopathy (NESH) was created in 1990 by Paul Herscu
ND, MPH, DHANP and Amy Rothenberg ND, DHANP to translate homeopathic
philosophy into the successful and predictable practice of medicine. Our goal is for
practitioners of homeopathy to fulfill their potential role in health care to help people
attain freedom from illness on the mental, emotional, and physical planes so they may
better realize their highest aspirations. The homeopathic practice presented in these courses describes the novel and cohesive
approach developed by Drs. Herscu and Rothenberg. It is deeply rooted within scientific
traditions and their years of clinical experience which integrates well with established
scientific and medical understanding. While our approach to homeopathy does not remove the past, it is uniquely informed by and centered within a 21st century medical model.
Studying with NESH Phase #1:
Foundations of Homeopathy, A 12-Hour ONLINE Course: Introducing the Fundamentals
This course offers brief but deep dive into history, theory, and practice highlighting the
main tenets of homeopathy. Whether you want to be a better informed patient/natural
health advocate/allied health professional, or you want to use this course as a spring
board into further studies, this is a perfect place to start.
Most clinicians, scientists, and the public at large can integrate the material presented
here with prior knowledge. Completing this course is a good jumping off point to gain
understanding of principles behind homeopathic theory and practice, and towards
applying for NESH’s Develop Expertise in Homeopathy Two-Year ONLINE Course
(Phase #2).
Studying with NESH Phase #2:
Develop Expertise in Homeopathy Two-Year ONLINE Course
This main course is designed for both for experienced practitioners as well as students new to
homeopathy to meet you “where you are” in your individual learning process and help
advance your studies and practice to the next level, enabling you to also enroll in Phase
#3 Courses.
It offers a deep-dive into all the fundamentals: presenting all of the basics from
philosophy and case-taking to materia medica, repertory, case analysis and long-term
follow-up care. And then proceeds quickly to more advanced concepts which help
translate the elegant philosophy of homeopathy into a successful and enjoyable
practice. We emphasize the Herscu method of Cycles and Segments which informs all
aspects of practice. This method also assists practitioners in evaluating any other
therapeutics in a logical and systematic way to gauge the direction of cure.
Studying with NESH Phase #3:
Case-Based Courses À La Carte For NESH Alumni. Pre-requisite = NESH Two-Year course (Phase #2)
NESH offers numerous courses to increase your “patient experience” and clinical exposure.
Specifically, we dive into details on the processes the homeopath undertakes while exploring what works and what does not work with patient encounters in a variety of courses, to illustrate specific points and refine our technique. We are particularly excited as 2025 celebrates NESH's 35th Anniversary and this series allows us to review and deepen our understanding and application of all the work we've done together throughout the decades. Participation in these courses gives you access to our Private NESH Alumni Facebook Group, open only to those NESH alum who have participated in a Phase #3 NESH Course or repeated the Two Year Course. CEU available upon request.
About Cycles and Segments
Cycles & Segments as taught by NESH is a system dynamics approach to classical
homeopathy, which informs all aspects of practice and allows for more efficient and
focused case taking and analysis. It offers a practical way of organizing and analyzing
information in the case histories we glean from patients as well as details which appear
in our remedy descriptions and facilitates an integrated study of homeopathy without the
cumbersome memorization of long lists of individual symptoms.
