Anna Cox, CCH, RSHom(NA)
NASH Secretary
Anna practices classical homeopathy in Los Angeles, California. She was introduced to homeopathy in a bio-physics class at the American University of Complementary Medicine. The fundamental principles of homeopathy so paralleled the concepts of resonance in physics that she was intrigued to study homeopathy in greater depth. It began a journey that culminated in a 10-year clinical research project investigating the combination of classical homeopathy paired with bio-feedback examining predictability. The evidence in the clinical application offers clarity to theoretical postulates in both fields.
On a personal note, the application of homeopathy with the researched feedback, corrected a state of bilateral breast cancer, a neurodegenerative condition and incredible improvement in vision that was also rapidly deteriorating with a diagnosed trajectory of blindness. She has consistently witnessed equal results in numerous clients suffering a wide array of chronic disease. She emphatically says, “I am passionate about expanding homeopathy, about establishing a strong, self-regulated profession with the freedom for homeopaths to progress the field unbound by licensure or regulation within any modality that has conflicting principles. With aligned passion to these causes, I will be proud to serve on the board of NASH.”

Robin Pollock, Hom, RSHom(NA)
NASH Bi-National Liaison
I am a graduate and fellow of the Canadian College of Homeopathic Medicine (CCHM) in Toronto, Ontario and the creator of Mastering Materia Medica, an upcoming online app for the comparative study of homeopathic remedies. Before switching careers I trained and worked in the realms of clinical, group, and Gestalt psychotherapy, which I find to be an invaluable complement to my homeopathic work. I now work as a homeopathic clinician and educator.
I have published three articles in The American Homeopath and have worked for two years at the homeopathy-centric company WholeHealthNow as a writer and educational webinar moderator and also at Homeoaide, where I was a video producer and creator, as well as editor, for HomeopathicHousecall. I now work with Dr. Jawahar Shah at Enlightenment Education in the development, refinement, and promotion of webinar courses. I have been instrumental in bringing speakers such as Dr. Farokh Master and Dr. Samir Chaukkar to Canada to teach.
I am the winner of CCHM’s Boiron Scholarship, the National Center for Homeopathy’s Vital Forces Scholarship, NASH’s Elizabeth Bonfig Scholarship, and the TxOptions Scholarship. I have lectured on such subjects such as the Homeopathic Approaches to Anxiety in Children and on the Foundations of Repertory and Repertorization and am currently an Advisory and Educational Committee member and webinar moderator for 4 Homeopathy Canada, which is an initiative that seeks to educate the Canadian public about homeopathy and homeopathic self-care.
I am very proud to be NASH’s Bi-national Board Representative and hopes to represent my fellow Canadians well.
Carleen Johnson, CCH, RSHom(NA)
NASH Executive Director
Being witness to the miracle of homeopathy when her children were young, she began her studies of this amazing science with one of the first NCH study groups in Maine. Many of the members of that study group came to be practitioners, as did Carleen. Attending any homeopathic workshop within a 300 miles radius, she eventually enrolled in the New England School of Homeopathy where she completed their 3-year program and continued on with their Clinical Program. Upon completing her CCH, she served on the Board of The North American Society of Homeopaths as Secretary for a number of years. When given the opportunity to help the Executive Director for a few years, she found a new way of being involved in the profession of homeopathy. It has been a joy for her to continue working with the Board and an added bonus to connect with the NASH members.
In addition to her homeopathic training, she also holds a degree in psychology, a Master’s in Education and Certificate of Advanced Studies in career development. While working within the various worlds of public schools, hospitals and health care settings she has found a fondness of administration and program management. She has maintained a homeopathic practice since 1995 in the Central Maine area where she enjoys gardening, cross-country skiing, snow shoeing and kayaking.
