Luke Norland

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. Having first studied classical music in London, his career path eventually brought him back to his roots in the healing arts via massage therapy. Luke fully engages in the active-listening role of the homeopath, adapting his approach so each individual can express their symptoms, tell their truth, and explore themselves free from any prejudice. Homeopathy is a gift to study and teach because it provides a framework to understand human nature which extends far beyond the scope of treating illnesses; by recognising that our own symptoms and characteristics have a resonance with lifeforms in the natural world, we can learn to reconnect with nature and heal ourselves at the same time.

Luke 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 is looking forward to being involved in the school’s future provings; supporting provers on their journeys to discover a new remedy will be richly rewarding. It is also a satisfying task editing the resulting wealth of information; finding themes and extracting rubrics so each new proving can be understood and used by the wider homeopathic community. He delights in teaching the fundamental principles of homeopathy (he first read the Organon whilst on holiday in Costa Rica!) and how to use the repertory effectively (learn to speak like Yoda!).

Since completing his diploma in holistic massage in 2010, Luke went on to train in Sports Injury Therapy and Thai Massage and has been treating patients for a wide variety of health conditions for the best part of 15 years. Luke’s first training was as a classical musician; playing the French Horn since the age of 10. Music has many parallels with the healing arts: most notably the sensitivity and awareness to ‘tune in’, the ability to learn and perfect techniques, recognise patterns and to maintain professional performance standards. His experience working as a chef has given him an enthusiasm for understanding nutrition and the importance of digestion in maintaining health whilst his work as a massage therapist gives him an excellent grounding in all kinds of musculoskeletal complaints.

Luke is a proud father of 2, dedicated musician, student of astrology and lover of nature. He relishes playing in orchestras and spent a good portion of his twenties composing experimental electronic dance music! Luke’s approach to homeopathy is to blend together the different disciplines of repertory, materia medica, provings and systems so that each case can be explored from an appropriate anchor point to suit the individual.
