H2RC2 Professional Homeopathy Course
(previously the Cairo-Lakeland Professional Course)


The Cairo-Lakeland course was first established in December 2002. An agreement between Abdul Hayy Holdijk and the founders of the Lakeland College for Homeopathy, Anne Waters (who passed on recently) and Ian Watson. When Lakeland stopped offering courses, H2RC2 started a cooperative agreement with Dr. Robin Murphy, founder of the Hahnemann Academy of the North America, now known as the Lotus Health Institute (he passed away in 2021). Graduates of this course were awarded an I.C. Hom. For a list of graduates, click here.
Currently H2RC2 issues its own certificates as an independent school that is twinned with the Ecole Belge d’Homœopathie.

Abdul Hayy Holdijk is the main instructor for these professional courses. A number of outside lecturers have also given two day seminars as part of the course including Ian Watson, Robin Murphy, Jan Scholten, Robert Bridge, Beth Tyers, John Morgan, Rajan Sankaran, Dinesh Chauhan, and many others.

The course was being taught in cooperation with renowned homeopath Robin Murphy (who recently passed away) and the Lotus Health Institute in the USA.


"It has been my great pleasure to contribute to the homeopathic training course in Cairo over the years, which has evolved under the guidance of Abdul Hayy Holdijk into a first-class programme. The course is broad-ranging, comprehensive and encourages the inner development of the students alongside the academic learning. The students are given a thorough grounding in homeopathic theory and practice, together with a broad awareness of energy medicine and holistic healing. The theoretical learning is backed up by clinical training and support enabling the students to progress to a professional standard. I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone."
