Sandi Kaplan has been practicing homeopathy since 2003 and is dedicated to the belief that quality healthcare is the right of all people.

Sandi has been actively working in the Social Justice and Anti-Racism movements for nearly three decades. When she offered to give a talk on anti-racism work for the homeopathy community after George Floyd was murdered in 2020, she encountered pushback; this inspired her to join forces with others who envision a homeopathy field that is centered around antiracism.

Sandi is honored to be aligned with Deepening Humanity in Homeopathy.

As a teacher and advocate for homeopathy Tanya Kell was aware that her classrooms, meetings, and organizations had little diversity.

When social media groups centered on natural living and holistic health started, she found little diversity there either. When George Floyd was murdered, the groups were flooded with racist content. Some of her own students and colleagues did not see any problem with it. As she had little interaction with anyone who may have had a different ethnicity, skin color, or life experience from her, she realized she was part of the problem.

Tanya sought to change her thoughts, actions, and words by engaging in self-reflection on her assumptions and world view. She joined this group to become a better healer, truer to her commitment to do no harm, and to engage in the restoration of health in every aspect

Patricia Maher has had several themes run through her professional life: human rights, anti-racist community organizing, and homeopathy. After spending most of her professional life leading social change organziations, she became involved in anti racist work over 20 years ago.

She has been a homeopath for 15 years, always looking at the impact of the social conditions around us on our health and well-being. Pat is also an organizer and core trainer with the People’ Institute for Survival and Beyond, a national anti-racist organization that has been organizing for four decades to move people into a movement for racial equity.

When a group of homeopaths came together after the national outpouring of protests of police killings of Black people, Pat was thrilled to join with others to create Deepening Humanity in Homeopathy. Pat lives in New York City.

Julie Mann, CCH, RSHom (NA) has been in private practice for over 30 years, working both with humans and animals alike. She is currently a board member of the North American Society of Homeopaths, and supervises students in chronic clinic for AHE. Like most homeopaths, she continues studying homeopathy in every avenue possible, which led her to the DHH group to learn a much deeper element in practice.

Penny Kelleher RSHom (NA) joined DHH as a new graduate practicing in New York City.

After the tragic death of George Floyd she noticed the absence of discussion among her colleagues and wondered how her profession could develop more self-awareness about racial justice and health inequities. She decided it was time to consciously examine her own prejudices and take action to educate others.

She is grateful to all the DHH members, past and present, for their collaborative work to initiate and guide the DHH mission.

Kelly Callahan CCH, RSHom(NA) has been practicing and teaching homeopathy since 2011. In her 'prior life' as a teacher, she was involved in many programs and efforts within diverse communities. When learning about homeopathy, Kelly loved the true democratic nature of it- that anyone can learn it and make a big impact for their families and communities. And yet, it is only a true democratic medicine if we work to make it available to everyone, to ensure that everyone feels they are welcome and appreciated as a client, practitioner, teacher.

Surveying the homeopathy landscape, it became clear to her that much work needs to be done- especially after the eruption of activism following George Floyd's murder, and the resistance in the community to reflection and action. She is grateful to have found a group of practitioners who are equally committed to working on antiracism in homeopathy.

Glenna Tinney has been a homeopathy consumer for over 25 years. She is also a social worker who has spent her entire nearly 50-year career working to make the world a better place. Her focus has been advocating for those who are marginalized and disenfranchised by different forms of oppression including racism, sexism, misogyny, ableism and unfortunately the list goes on.

Glenna loves homeopathy because it is a form of medicine that does less harm in general. However, homeopathy is still part of the colonization of medicine and does not necessarily approach treatment with a trauma-informed lens. Glenna is hoping to change that through participation in this group. She hopes to broaden the homeopathic framework to include individual, historical, collective, and intergenerational trauma in all forms.
