Why We Created this Academy Of Homeopathy 

For years our clinic has been turning people away. The demand for skilled classical homeopaths in New Zealand far outstrips supply.

We tried hiring graduates — but too often they lacked the depth, confidence, and practical readiness we needed. Lee-Anne had watched this gap grow for over a decade. The existing training simply wasn’t preparing practitioners for the real world of practice.

When New Zealand’s only homeopathy college closed in 2025, we saw the vacuum — and the opportunity.

Between Lee-Anne’s 16+ years of full-time classical practice and experience teaching homeopathy and Sarah’s background in adult education and clinic management, we realised we had everything needed to build the school we always wished existed.

So we did.

We designed a curriculum that doesn’t just teach remedies — it creates practitioners who truly understand health from consciousness to the physical body, who repertorise confidently from Weekend One, and who graduate with a proven business model ready to launch a thriving clinic.

Because New Zealand deserves world-class classical homeopathy — and the world deserves more healers who can deliver it.

Our Mission and Vision...

We exist to raise the standard of classical homeopathy in New Zealand to world-class level — so that every graduate practises with absolute confidence, runs a thriving, sustainable clinic, and helps restore homeopathy to its rightful place as a respected, transformative healing art.

Sarah Hayes | Founder Director Of Education

Sarah began her career crafting excellence in high-pressure salons across three countries, but her true passion has always been empowering others to reach their highest potential.

A Master Crystal & Sound Healer and qualified adult-education specialist, she has helped shape national training frameworks and brings that same standard of care to classical homeopathy.

As Practice Manager of Healing Haven for over ten years, Sarah has been an integral part of building New Zealand’s busiest homeopathic clinic from the ground up. Today, as Co-Founder of the Academy, she is determined to do the same for homeopathic education — creating a learning environment that is rigorous and deeply supportive.

Her training in Nonviolent Communication and lifelong commitment to personal growth mean every student feels seen, supported, and inspired to step fully into their calling.

For Sarah, training the next generation of classical homeopaths isn’t just a profession; it’s the natural extension of a life devoted to healing and growth.

Lee-Anne McCall | Founder Lead Teacher

For over sixteen years Lee-Anne has practised classical homeopathy full-time, relying on it exclusively for her own health and that of her daughter through every stage of life — from infancy through to menopause and beyond.

Trained in a Barbara Ann Brennan based method of energy healing and a lifelong student of esoteric philosophy and consciousness, she brings a rare and profound perspective: homeopathy is not simply a collection of remedies, but a complete map of human health;  from consciousness and the human energy field down to the physical body.

Having taught and mentored practitioners for many years, Lee-Anne grew increasingly concerned that graduates were entering practice without the depth, confidence, or practical readiness they needed to thrive. When New Zealand lost its only homeopathy college in 2025, she knew the time had come to create the training she had always wished existed.

Her mission is clear: to produce classical homeopaths who truly understand what is asking to be healed in every case, who repertorise confidently from day one, and who step into practice already equipped to build thriving, sustainable clinics.

Swati Vargante-Mhatre | Lecturer  Lead Academic

Dr. Swati Vargante is a highly qualified homoeopathic physician and specialist educator dedicated to advancing the standards of holistic healthcare through rigorous clinical practice and student mentorship. Holding a Bachelor’s degree in Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery (BHMS) and an MD (Hom) in Psychiatry from Maharashtra University of Health Sciences, Dr. Vargante brings a unique depth of expertise to the intersection of mental, emotional, and physical pathology.

Since 2018, she has served as an Associate Doctor at the renowned Homoeopathic Health Centre under the mentorship of the legendary Dr. Farokh Master. Through this close mentorship, she received comprehensive, hands-on training in diagnosing and treating complex pathological cases, gaining advanced insights into case management from a leading expert in the field. Her clinical acumen was further sharpened through training across multiple renowned hospitals in India—including King Edward Memorial Hospital in Mumbai—where she honed her skills in patient assessment, advanced diagnostics, and personalized treatment approaches within multidisciplinary healthcare settings.

Beyond direct patient care, Dr. Vargante actively shaped international educational standards by assisting Dr. Master in conducting clinical research, and structuring educational material for his books, peer-reviewed articles, and global conference seminars.

An active and engaging educator, Dr. Vargante routinely delivers dynamic lectures and webinars for the professional homoeopathic community, translating complex clinical concepts into practical learning. A strong proponent of contemporary research, she co-authored the study, "The Efficacy of Homeopathic Treatment of Cancer Patients – A Prospective Observational Cohort Study," which was presented at the World Congress on Cancer in Amsterdam (2024).

Guided by the philosophy of “a sound mind in a sound body,” Dr. Vargante’s teaching methodology emphasizes treating the root cause of illness and integrating mental-emotional well-being into holistic case analysis. Deeply committed to culturally respectful care, community connection, and evidence-informed practice, she aims to inspire and equip the next generation of homoeopaths at the Academy with the clinical precision, research literacy, and global standards required for lasting therapeutic success.
