About Caroline Hecht, CCH

A personal path to healing, and how I came to support others in theirs.

Welcome!

I’m Caroline Hecht, a Certified Classical Homeopath based in Portland, Oregon. I work with clients across the U.S. through virtual care, offering gentle, personalized homeopathic support for everything from hormonal imbalance and chronic illness to trauma, autism spectrum conditions, and emotional healing. Through my own healing journey and rigorous training, I’ve seen homeopathy profoundly transform lives, including my own, my family’s, and the clients I’m honored to support.

My Early Connection to Homeopathy

My journey with homeopathy began in childhood. I was raised in Northern California by a devoted student of Rudolf Steiner and received a Waldorf education alongside homeopathic and anthroposophical medicine as our family’s primary form of care. These tools helped me recover from chronic ear infections and planted the seed of trust in the body’s innate ability to heal.

Becoming a Mother and Rediscovering Homeopathy

But I truly found homeopathy for myself after becoming a mother. In 2018, when my son was born, I knew I wanted to offer him a life anchored in the trust of the body’s own wisdom and ability to thrive in our modern world, despite the toxic soup we live in. Homeopathy felt like coming home, and I’ve been devoted to it ever since.

Experience in Natural Medicine

Before becoming a practitioner, I spent over a decade working in a Chinese herbal pharmacy and clinic. I also explored ayurveda and naturopathy, but nothing resonated as deeply as homeopathy, a complete system of medicine that truly aligned with my soul. I knew this was the work I was meant to do. That calling became undeniable after I navigated a year-long, deep depression following a miscarriage. It was homeopathy that brought me back to life and made it clear I was meant to help others in the same way.

Professional Training and Certification

I trained for three years at the Academy of Homeopathy Education, completing over 1,100 hours of education and clinical work, exceeding the standard requirements, and consistently achieved high academic standing throughout the program. I am certified by the Council for Homeopathic Certification (CHC). Since then, I have actively pursued continuing education to deepen my skills in complex case management and broaden my clinical expertise. This includes ongoing postgraduate study with Jeremy Sherr, PhD, RSHom, at the Dynamis School, where I am completing the MHom diploma and an additional 350 hours. Dynamis provides rigorous, world-class training that empowers practitioners to confidently tackle the most challenging and multifaceted homeopathic cases with unmatched precision and depth.

Collaboration and Integrative Care

At times, I collaborate with licensed acupuncturists (L.Ac.) and Doctors of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM), consulting on homeopathic care to support their clients’ healing journeys. This integrative approach helps ensure comprehensive and personalized care.

Specialized Training in End-of-Life, Autoimmune, and Agrihomeopathy

I am also currently training in the Academy of Homeopathy Education’s postgraduate Comfort Care program, a specialized course in homeopathic end-of-life care affiliated with Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop. This training deepens my ability to provide compassionate support to individuals and families during life’s most difficult transitions.

In addition, I hold a certificate in agrihomeopathy from Camilla Sherr’s specialized course, which has broadened my understanding of homeopathic applications in agriculture and environmental health. I also participated in an intensive Autoimmune Conference with Denise Straiges, further expanding my knowledge of homeopathic approaches to complex autoimmune conditions.

Teachers and Ongoing Study

Over the years, I have also studied with many respected teachers, including Jeremy Sherr, PhD, RSHom; Denise Straiges, MA, CHP, AIH AFHom, RSHom(NA), PCH; Alastair Gray, PhD, MSc, AIH AFHom; Ann Jerome, PhD, CCH; Kelly Callahan, CCH, RSHom(NA), creator of the 1M Homeopathy podcast; Kim Elia, teacher and CEO of WholeHealthNow; Luke Norland, DSH, RSHom, BMus; Sandi Kaplan, CCH, PCH; and Camilla Sherr, DSc, DHom, RSHom, FSHom, founder of Homeopathy for Health in Africa and an expert in agrihomeopathy, a field I have also studied.

Transformations I’ve Witnessed

But credentials only tell part of the story.

What moves me most is the transformation I witness in my clients through homeopathy. For example, I’ve seen children on the autism spectrum regain language after years of silence. Beyond that, I support individuals navigating autoimmune disorders and hormonal imbalances, such as menstrual and menopausal challenges, anxiety, digestive issues, chronic pain, and respiratory conditions. I also walk alongside those healing from trauma, fatigue, skin conditions like eczema and rosacea, as well as complex neurological and emotional challenges, to name just a few. I’m honored to work with clients of all ages, from babies and children to pregnant clients and elders.

I’ve supported healing in people who had “tried everything” and felt lost, and also in those just beginning to explore holistic care. I’ve even helped restore balance to plants in my garden and support the health of my chickens using homeopathy.

My Approach to Care

My superpower? Meeting people where they are. Creating a space where you feel safe to be fully yourself, whatever path you’ve taken, whatever you’ve been through. There’s room for all of it here.

Volunteer Service

In addition to my private practice, I volunteer with Homeopathy Help Now, a service that provides acute homeopathic care to people in need. It’s one way I stay connected to the spirit of service that drew me to this work in the first place.

Outside of Practice

Outside of practice, I find deep joy in growing and preserving food, spending time with my family, and teaching my son how to garden, as well as crocheting and knitting, writing, and playing music.

Whether you’re looking for relief from something specific or just feel called to heal in a deeper way, I’d be honored to walk with you.
