Drs. Rothenberg & Herscu's Clinic

Teaching the Art & Science of Classical Homeopathy Since 1990

Dear Friends,

We hope your year is off to a good-enough start. We’ve been reflecting a lot about work-life balance and how to carve time to prioritize the people, the work, and other activities we love. With our patients we know a person is doing well when they are humming along in more balance and peace, with time to enjoy their current moment of life. A well prescribed constitutional homeopathic remedy can help! Read below a recent piece Amy shared on this exact topic.

And we hope you’ll consider studying with us, whether you are just starting out, need a case-based refresher course, or desire to take a deeper dive into our Develop Expertise in Homeopathy Course. We’d love to see you at NESH and support your evolution as an excellent homeopath!

Until then, stay warm, take a breath, and aim yourself toward better balance!

All the best,

Drs. Amy Rothenberg & Paul Herscu

The Work-Life Balancing Act:

Finding Healthy Equilibrium Across a Lifetime

by Amy Rothenberg ND, DHANP

Some 30 years ago, I was in a very different phase of my evolution as a doctor, a writer, a mother, and a partner. I was deep in the juggle of family and work, and like many women in that stage of life, I was seeking balance above all.

Thirty years on, I am so grateful for the work-life balance I was able to create over the span of my long career. Many people are not that fortunate. I see more patients with burnout than ever before. The recent pandemic made everything worse, with social isolation heaped upon already stressful work-life situations.

In reflection, I still very much embrace what I wrote 30 years ago:

“As homeopaths, it is our charge to offer women in the middle and older years the best possible health so they can enjoy this phase of life. The cultural biases against elders cause many people to stop dreaming and striving for whatever might be fulfilling and exhilarating for them. It is my hope that with homeopathy and other natural medicine, older people might reach their middle and later life full of vigor, inspiration, and self-acceptance.”

Please enjoy this case focusing on one of my patients I followed over 30 years. She came to see me her 20s struggling to balance all the demands on her as a new mother. Continuing to work with her into her 50s has given me a perspective on how homeopathy can support a person across life’s phases and help them maintain balance through the ever-changing work-life landscape.

This "synchronous” online course is divided into 10 Modules,

each consisting of approximately 15-20 hours of on-demand video lectures.

You'll have access to each Module for two months.

Students can pause within each Module to take time to digest

each topic before moving on to the next. The supplemental materials are sequenced along with the relevant lecture materials for a

more cohesive & integrated learning experience.

Take this course if you want to ...

• Understand homeopathic remedies in a concise, yet robust and clinically relevant way without the memorization of long lists of symptoms

• Learn a streamlined approach to case-taking and analysis to bring accuracy and efficiency into your prescribing.

Here's what NESH students have shared on their final evaluation forms for this Develop Expertise in Homeopathy Online Course.

-----

"I've had positive results for 90% of my patients with the first remedy. My practice is based on NESH because you are my first and only teachers."

"This was an incredible course, absolutely riveting. I am very grateful to Paul and Amy for sharing their expertise in this life changing modality."

“The optional live office hours with Paul & Amy were the best addition to the NESH Course.”

"Amy's description of the remedies were very detailed & helped me remember the salient points."

"I still think Paul is the reincarnation of one of the masters!"

"This class was excellent. I was in dire need of a refresher and additional training on case taking, remedies, potencies - basically everything that was covered."

"Much of my confusion about what to do and how to do it has been addressed in this course. I now have a method for organizing intake, deciding which symptoms are important, how to organize the symptoms for analysis, and clear rules on what to do at follow-up."

"Interestingly some of my acupuncture treatments are effective more quickly than they used to be; and I am gradually getting more comfortable prescribing homeopathic remedies."

"The cycles and segments approach to eliminate the problems with our repertories and materia medica makes sense to me and gives me more confidence in homeopathy as a medical approach to help people and animals."

TO LEARN MORE and get a better feel of what to expect from the course, watch this 14 minute "Course Introduction" video Dr. Herscu recorded in 2020 for folks jumping into our Virtual Course at that time. Even if you just watch the first 5 minutes or so, we think it will be informative as you are considering your next steps.
