About us

Vis Vitalis-Homeopathy International Education came together in 2008, a dream realised, yet only just begun, by an inspired young  homoeopath, Claudia De Rosa.

As the newcomer to homoeopathic education, but already members of the local community, we are privileged to enjoy local, national and international support.

It is our aim and intention to use our teaching experience to foster a positive and nurturing culture, where students are encouraged to reach their full homoeopathic potential. Through the combination of traditional homoeopathic principles and methodology, our goal is to facilitate students to learn freely in ways appropriate to their needs and level.

We believe that our most important function is to give to the students' knowledge, skill and confidence in homoeopathic principles so that they will be able to help all types of patients and complaints.

You also need to know..

Well, the first thing is that the staff really care. They make sure they know who you are and are happy to talk to you. They don't disappear into some ivory tower when they are not teaching, but are always around – available by phone or email. We even have a Student Liaison Officer who is employed by the School specifically to listen to, and help, the students and report back to the Management Team.

Also, Vis Vitalis honours diversity by acknowledging that students come from differing backgrounds and with differing levels of academic knowledge and practical life experience, and thus need different types and degrees of assistance. Those who do not have an academic background are encouraged to use their own experiences to support and develop their work and also to help those who have less experience in practical matters. Those who do have an academic background will be helped to concentrate on their practical skills and can also assist their fellow students in the more academic aspects of study.

Particularly, we believe that true learning comes from different cultures sharing. That’s why the school provides a students forum, blog, video chat, seminars throughout the year and Summer School to meet up and share lives.

Being a student of homoeopathy is an exercise in co-operation and personal development that mirrors the partnerships we will have with our patients in our practices. We believe that everyone who cares brings value to homoeopathy and we have developed systems that get the best out of everyone who has the necessary commitment and professional attitude.

Our Mission

We at Vis Vitalis Homeopathy International Education are dedicated to training and graduating highly qualified and motivated professional homoeopaths who have the necessary skills to help secure improved health for all their patients, and financial success for themselves by the ethical use of their learned skills and knowledge.

Our Mission is to guide and support our students throughout the course and beyond, as they learn about homoeopathy and its principles.

We pledge to offer the highest standard of homoeopathic education that we can and to facilitate our students to become the best Homoeopaths that they can be.

We aim to provide this through a structured, rigorous and dynamic course that is based predominantly but not solely on classical homoeopathic principles . We also provide in depth and articulated course on Anatomy and Physiology, Pathology and Disease, Holistic Human Nutrition, Psychology and Counselling, Iridology and post-graduate course for further education.

We encourage inter school communications and liase with other homoeopathic organisations to help nurture and further the positive development of homoeopathy worldwide.

Our aim is to provide the means for students to become highly qualified and motivated professional homoeopaths, who will use the full range of their acquired skills in safe, competent and successful homoeopathic practise.

School Director

Classical Homeopath, registered member of the Italian Association of Homeopaths (AIO), thanks to constant travelling due to my family's job, I consider my self lucky to have had the opportunity to have studied homeopathy in three different Colleges: Ireland, Uk and Italy.  . I have experience in the treatment of learning and behavioral disorders, autistic spectrum disorder, allergies and food intolerances, panic attacks, teenagers age, childhood, menopause, pregnancy. Nutritionist and Iridologist with Pharmaceutical back-ground, I turned to Homeopathy and to teaching because I passionately believe in the homeopathic way of promoting health and curing sickness.

Born in Italy and brought up by a conventional and conservative but very caring and nurturing typical southern Italian family I've always been interested in holistic therapies ( yoga, aromatherapy, flower-therapy, etc) and because of personality I've always been treated like the 'black sheep' of the family.

After completion of my studies, first in Humanistic Science and then in Pharmacy and Chemistry, in a bid to escape the suffocating atmosphere I was living in I made a break for Cork, Republic of Ireland, and the travel industry. 

It has been in Ireland - perhaps thank to the Celtic atmosphere or to the easy going and simple life style- that I can happily say I finally have found my true self! And so in the attempt to learn English for daily survival I made a break through my life and I begun my training in Homeopathy.

I began my involvement with homeopathy in 1993, when I was 17 and it was like meeting my soul’s purpose head on. I walked into it like a duck walks into water, as if I were born to do this amazing thing. I devoured this new knowledge with a great hunger. I had teachers, who told me there was only one way it should be done, and I would try it and if it seemed to work I would incorporate it. I had teachers who told me to do what was appropriate and not always stick to the dogma. They were the ones who gave me the freedom to explore beyond the existing parameters. I was using and practicing homeopathy long before I was officially qualified. I was teaching it before I graduated. It seemed everything I had ever done led to this astonishing encounter. It involved science as well as spirit. It involved soul as well as body. It brought me the link I had been unknowingly seeking all of my life. I had found my passion. I had come home.

I lived in Cork for over 10 years and I still make frequent fly-backs so that my two little and wonderful Irish children, Julia and Joshua, can visit home..

Back to Italy, in 2008 I decided to set the first E-learning Homeopathic Program  because I wanted to give something back at a more meaningful level and because I do believe that life is indeed a rich tapestry woven from the many strands of one’s life experiences and I wanted to make my experiences and enthusiasm useful to others.

Since 2010, Claudia is BIH - School Director  for the Republic of Ireland.                                    

Vis Vitalis E-learning Program has been accredited CPD by the Italian Health Board as E-learning Homeopathy and Alternative Therapies Provider.

I have published 4 e-books, 'Homeopathy First AID' and 'the 12 Salts of Life: Schuessler Biochemistry' in Italian language and 'Homeopathy and Chakras: balancing, cleansing and activating Energy Centres with Homeopathy' and 'The calmness, the joyfulness and the playfulness of the Dolphin: the circle of Lac Delphinum' in English Language.

At the present I run training courses in homeopathy in two continents, organize proving, research and run seminars and events  with various Schools and Insitutions wordlwide such as 'AMCH' - American Medical School of Homeopathy, Arizona, 'The Pacific Academy' of San Francisco.
