About my Guests:
Curriculum Vitae Andreas N. Bjørndal
It is difficult to imagine a role in homeopathy, natural medicine, and integrative health that ANB has not held. For more than four decades, he has been at the very center of the profession—locally, nationally, and internationally.
He founded and led two of the most respected multidisciplinary clinics in Oslo, bringing together more than 20 practitioners across traditional, alternative, and integrative medicine. At the same time, he was a pioneer in education, serving for nearly two decades as Educational Director at the Norwegian Academy of Natural Medicine (NAN), where he shaped curriculum, developed innovative approaches to learning, and guided the majority of homeopaths, naturopaths, and veteropaths in Norway. He has been a teacher of virtually every aspect of homeopathy and naturopathy—ranging from materia medica and clinical practice to philosophy of science, rhetoric, and therapist development—for more than 40 years.
Internationally, he has been a tireless ambassador of the field. As Chairperson of the Norwegian Association of Homeopaths, the European Council of Classical Homeopathy, and the International Council of Classical Homeopathy, he has not only led but also initiated many of the most important organizational and professional structures we take for granted today. He helped establish the first European guidelines for homeopathic education, guidelines that are now recognized globally as the standard. His honorary membership in the Norwegian Association of Homeopaths reflects a lifetime of service to the professional community.
As a lecturer and course instructor, he has been invited around the world for more than four decades, holding seminars on homeopathy, integrative medicine, philosophy, self-development and spirituality. He has trained healthcare professionals—including medical doctors and nurses—on the role of homeopathy in patient care, and his advanced training programs for practitioners have influenced generations of therapists. Beyond medicine, he has guided groups through self-development processes, spiritual initiations, and even journeys of initiation in Egypt.
ANB has also contributed at the policy and research levels. He served on the Norwegian government’s Aarbakke Committee, which laid the groundwork for the Act on Alternative Treatment, and on the Ministry of Health’s working group on private import of medicines. He has published extensively—hundreds of articles in Norwegian and international journals in print and online, as long-standing contributions to the The Magic Happens Magazine and his own site Holonity. He has conducted frontier research both regarding methodology as well as exploring the healing potential of close to 200 new homeopathic remedies.
In short, ANB’s career encompasses the whole spectrum of homeopathy: practitioner, teacher, researcher, author, international spokesperson, and organizational leader. He has carried the field forward with vision, dedication, and a rare ability to connect the scientific, the practical, and the spiritual dimensions of healing in an inspirational and unified way that makes it easy to understand and apply.
