NZHS Supporting Homeopaths, To Support Homeopathy
Homeopathy’s Future Depends on Professionals Like You
The Society’s work is important because the future of homeopathy depends on professionals like you. And professionals like you, need industry support to continue developing your skills and running your business.
NZHS Member Support
For homeopathic treatment and practices to be perceived as relevant by the general public, industry-specific support and advocacy are critical. This is where NZHS can help.
Access to Resources & Funding
Through an NZHS membership, you receive access to resources and funding for your ongoing homeopathic professional development, and business marketing.
NZHS Mission – To Advocate Homeopathy for the NZ General Public
The Society’s mission is to raise awareness about homeopathy, by providing reliable information about its scope and benefits, as well as when consultation with a professional homeopath is needed for complex and chronic conditions.
This mission is partly funded by Society membership fees.
Benefits of an NZHS Membership to registered homeopaths:
Homeopath Funding for Community Short Courses - $300
- NZHS will support homeopaths to educate the general public about homeopathy. NZHS provides funding for homeopaths to run short courses or information sessions on homeopathy in their local communities. These are ideally in person but can be online. NZHS is open to your feedback on this program to continue meeting registered homeopaths’ needs.
Homeopath Funding for Study Groups/Meetings - FREE
- Held at the NZHS reference library in Rotorua, or using the excellent NZHS collection of contemporary and historic books and journals for research. While visiting the library, a tour of Naturo Pharm facilities is invaluable to gaining insight into their production techniques for their creams and remedies.
Research Scholarships – $300
- NZHS scholarships are for project research at the NZHS reference library. To apply for a scholarship, submit an outline of your project to NZHS. On completion of your research, NZHS requests a brief article about your experience using the library.
NZHS Social Media ‘Homeopath of the month’ – $50
- This program has been successfully running for over two years and is an opportunity for homeopaths to promote their business to the New Zealand general public via NZHS social media pages. Your post will be boosted (a marketing tactic that can exponentially increase the number of people that see your content) in your particular area, to the value of $50. This program also helps you get to know other registered homeopaths' locations and specialties.
NZHS Quarterly Newsletter – eHomoeopathica $FREE Marketing & Content
- The informative NZHS quarterly newsletter is aimed at the general public and is designed for you to use as part of your business marketing. It’s a great FREE tool to keep in touch with your patients, by leveraging the hard work the Society has done for you.
NZHS eBook – $FREE Marketing & Content
- When you refer a patient to sign up to the NZHS website for a free copy of the NZHS Homoeopathy at Home eBook, you promote using homoeopathy in the home and show your business is part of an industry network with reliable resources. The best part is NZHS has done all the hard work in creating this for your clients to access.
Professional Alignment with NZHS Work – Advocating for Homeopathy – $Free
- Strength is in numbers and NZHS advocates for the consumer voice for homoeopathy in New Zealand. The Society has a growing database of people who love and use homoeopathy. As a paid Society member who refers patients to sign up to the NZHS website, your professional standing is aligned with building a powerful voice for the future of homoepathy in New Zealand.
Social Media – $FREE Marketing
- NZHS’s main connection to the general public is through social media, via two to three posts a week. These posts have reliable and engaging information, and promote the NZHS bookshop and our ‘Get Well Soon’ book by Misha Norland. NZHS is working hard to promote the use of homoeopathy in New Zealand, which will promote business for all homoeopaths. By sharing NZHS social media posts on your own business and personal pages you have an ongoing source of reliable and engaging content for your followers. So please share liberally.
Bookshop – $FREE resources
- The NZHS bookshop is run by volunteers and turns over $30,000 in books every year. Please contact NZHS with any new titles you hear about so the bookshop can remain up to date and relevant for registered homoeopaths’ needs.
Professional Support – $FREE
- Being a member of the NZHS provides you with funding, resources, and marketing support, which in turn adds to your standing as a reputable healthcare provider. Successful businesses have an impact within the community, and the NZHS is here to support your business by working alongside you to advocate for the future of homoeopathy.
Funding Success
Here’s how easily a NZHS membership can benefit your business. Last year a member who received a funding package ran a six-week ‘Introduction to Homoeopathy’ course in her local community. A few became patients. Her students were so pleased; they asked her to run a second course to further their knowledge. Her NZHS membership more than paid for itself with the funding she received for her first course.
NZHS Membership Fee
An NZHS membership costs just NZ/AUD $45 per year.
For this small annual fee, you have all these potential benefits:
Funding for Community Short Courses $300
Scholarship $300
Facebook ‘Homoeopath of the Month’ (boosted) $50
Total $ value $650
Non-Monetary Benefits
Homeopath Barbara Roberts, recently visited the NZHS library, in preparation for writing some articles. She said:
“It’s an amazing place to study Materia Medica, old texts as well as more recently published books that included information on new remedies – Sophora Microphylla (Kowhai), Alcoholus and Culex Mosquito – as well as old Homeopathica journals to the British Homeopathic Association magazines, the US Homeopathy Today and Spectrum, and shelves devoted to Tissue Salts and Flower Essences.” It’s hard to put a monetary value on things that are just, invaluable.
True Value of a Society Membership
Getting $$$ of value for a $45 investment is impressive enough, but then add the non-monetary membership benefits:
-
- access to the Society’s bookshop
- access to the Society’s library, study/meeting rooms
- free marketing resources to use as your own
- alignment with a reputable industry voice advocating for the use of homeopathy
Adding up ALL the benefits shows the true value of a Society membership for such a small investment of NZ/AUD $45 a year.
NZHS Membership Pays for Itself
Even gaining just one extra patient through the Society’s ‘Homeopath of the Month’ campaign more than pays for the annual NZHS membership fee, so as you can see an NZHS membership makes a lot of sense.
Secure Homeopathy’s Future
With over 120 registered homeopaths in New Zealand, the future of homeopathy needs every single one of us to support each other’s businesses, and work cohesively to promote the use of homeopathy in New Zealand.
The majority of Society members are homeopaths plus other interested parties – the public \ homeopathic pharmacies \ college \ homeopathic businesses, etc.
