Mani Norland, BA (Hons), DSH, PCH, RSHom
Mani Norland is Principal at the School of Homeopathy. He is Misha Norland's eldest son and grew up with homeopathy all around him. He trained with the School, and practices from his clinic in Stroud. He develops and manages the School in conjunction with members of the core team. Other responsibilities include interviewing students, the teaching timetable, preparation of teaching materials, hiring teachers and staff, running the School clinic. In addition, he is responsible for the School brand, marketing and promotion. Mani is also the Managing Director of The School of Health, a business that manages home study courses and books.

Mani is a founding member of Homeopathy Course Providers Forum and a founding member of the 4Homeopathy (the pro homeopathy group of 11 organsations in the UK). With this group Mani has been instrumental in the re-branding of homeopathy in the UK with the development of a new logo, the findahomeopath website, celebrity campaigns and media intervention. Mani also teaches students in the 4th year about setting up in practice. In his ‘other life’ Mani worked in London as a brand and business consultant for over 10 years. He advised board level directors on business creation, vision and image. Mani is passionate about the positive promotion of homeopathy to the general public and has written many consumer facing articles on homeopathy, lectured internationally and been interviewed on BBC radio several times.

Luke Norland, RSHom
Luke grew up sharing his family home with the School of Homeopathy and has been immersed in the homeopathic way of life since he was born. He practices in South West England and internationally online. He published Animalia in 2021 – a new Materia Medica illuminating the Homeopathic themes of 6 animal families with an introduction to Mappa Mundi. He has also authored the Thematic Repertory - a standalone work in RadarOpus - developed by carefully combining cross-referenced Mind rubrics. He has worked extensively as a proving and repertory editor, compiling rubrics for many new remedies proven at the school. This grounding in the repertory and provings has become an essential facet in Luke’s process of finding a similimum for a diverse range of patients. Luke’s first training was as a classical musician; playing the French Horn since the age of 10. He is a father, cook, student of astrology and lover of nature. He enjoys playing in orchestras and spent most of his twenties composing experimental electronic music! Luke’s approach to homeopathy is to blend together the different disciplines of repertory, materia medica, provings & systems so that each case can be explored from an appropriate anchor point to suit the individual.

Karen Leadbeater, RSHom
Karen graduated from the School in 1998, and has since maintained a close link through mentoring and supervising students. More recently she has lectured regularly at the School with a focus on casework, and also works with students on the international home study programme.

As a graduate of the School of Homeopathy, Janet practices as a homeopath in Plymouth and in Cornwall where she lives. She is also a tutor on the attendance and home study programmes and a clinical supervisor for students moving into supervised practice.
