I hope to be able to assist AROH not only to survive but to flourish, and I hope I can complement the range of views and options by adding a viewpoint that is strongly influenced by years of service as director of different NGOs. I have been practising as a classical homoeopath for almost 35 years. I believe that we may be at the threshold of a revival of this wonderful therapy and I hope we can join forces nationwide and internationally to give humanity a real anchor in the conquest of health.

Sonia Tallarida - Independent (student)

I am deeply passionate about creating real, sustainable transformation: both in people’s lives and within our health system. My journey has taken me across Australia and the world, working with teams and leaders in both not-for-profit and corporate spaces as a Management Consultant, specialising in values based cultures, leaders and teams.  Always guided by strong values and a vision for positive change.

As a student of homeopathy, I believe everyone deserves the chance to become truly well, not just physical symptom-free. I am inspired by the potential of homeopathy to empower individuals, nurture communities, and elevate the standards and standing of our profession. As Director, my hope is to help grow a vibrant, values-led community of homeopaths, expanding both the reach and the quality of our work, so that more people can access the healing, upliftment and vibrancy that homeopathic treatment offers.
