The Empowered Parent Course
Moving Beyond Fear with Infectious Childhood Illnesses
FINALLY! An all-in-one resource to explore questions about vaccinations, informed by scientific research and guided by the lived experience of parents through generations.
Do you feel overwhelmed, confused, or pressured about making important health decisions for your child? Are you in disagreement with your partner, physician, or extended family about what medical procedures are necessary for their optimum health?
You are in good company!
This is a growing reality, and so many parents find themselves navigating the same worries and fears, lost in the vastness of conflicting information. It is common to feel stuck between what you are being told and what your family is experiencing or what you instinctively feel.
Making decisions from a place of fear
No matter where you stand, the conversation about whether to vaccinate often comes from a place of fear.
- Fear of what might happen if you don’t vaccinate.
- Fear of what might happen if you do.
- Fear of getting sick.
And overall, the deepest fear-what if my child, or someone I love gets seriously ill or worse.
Everyone feels this. No matter which ‘side’ you are on.
No parent wants their child to be harmed, whether by a vaccine or infectious disease.
So how do we talk about that fear openly and honestly?
The more we know, the less fear there is about our choices.
Once we know the truth the fear diminishes.
A global surge of families with more questions than answers
Since COVID, more and more in the mainstream media, we hear about vaccine mandates, vaccine injury, and outbreaks of illnesses like measles and whooping cough.
Why, if it is so black and white for the medical industry, do so many parents and caregivers feel that something is not quite right?
Making the choice to stop or delay vaccines can be a polarizing conversation, which makes asking valid questions highly emotive, to the point where some relationships are damaged or even end.
These are challenging situations that can easily become isolating, especially when there is little willingness on either side to truly listen and very little science understood at a deeper level.
Are you feeling uncertain about what is right for your child?
Are you a parent or caregiver…
- navigating fear, family pressure, or difficult conversations?
- wanting clarity and confidence instead of confusion and conflict?
- seeking thoughtful, balanced education to make informed choices for your family?
- struggling with your significant other, looking for a neutral way to learn, hear each other and get on the same page?
You don’t have to walk this path on your own. It can be huge a relief to connect with other parents and caregivers who are looking for clarity, and the confidence to make informed choices.
The Empowered Parent Course
Homeopathy course for parents concerned about infectious childhood illnesses
Empower yourself with knowledge to make confident decisions and use homeopathy to support your family in times of illness.
I meet many parents who are on the path to becoming vaccine-free or have already chosen that path. But what comes next if you decide to stop vaccinating or refuse booster shots?
How can you support the healing of infectious illnesses like measles, mumps, rubella, whooping cough, or seasonal influenza during local or global outbreaks, in both vaccinated and unvaccinated populations?
What if your child or loved one becomes very unwell?
How can you confidently make decisions if you don’t have time for reading and analyzing piles of medical research and pharmaceutical inserts?
“This course is a godsend for parents navigating fear, emotional tension, and polarising opinions around vaccines and infectious illnesses.
Donna has a remarkable gift for taking complex medical information and making it clear and understandable. Every parent deserves support like this.”
My journey to teaching this course
Hi, I am Donna Powers, a 1980’s mother and 21st century grandmother. Just to be clear, I was not an “anti-vaxxer” when my children were small – I followed the schedule like a good mother was supposed to.
Straight after the second DPT shot, my oldest son got his first cold at 4 months of age (I was told that it was ‘normal’). After his first MMR he immediately got croup and was then prescribed a narcotic cough syrup so that he could sleep at night. He developed chronic gut issues with vomiting and abdominal cramping, and then a persistent sensation of needing to urinate when lying down.
In desperation we agreed to invasive medical tests only to be told there was nothing wrong with him. He was suffering terribly for years, unable to sleep because he felt the constant urge to pee. There was clearly something wrong.
Witnessing the cumulative effect of vaccines
With my youngest son, there seemed to be a cumulative effect. By the time he had his third dose of the MMR there was a new problem every week: red and rosy cheeks, eczema, allergies, asthma, ear infections, bowel problems (constipation).
As directed by the family physician, we suppressed fevers (post vaccination and for coughs/colds) with Children’s Tylenol. We also suppressed the symptoms of coughs/colds with over-the-counter children’s medications (more Tylenol in the cough medicines) and prescription drugs, especially antibiotics for ear infections.
Both suffered from nightmares and like many children in school they received what was becoming a more common diagnosis: ADD/ADHD.
The conventional medical approach was symptom suppression with prescription drugs like Ritalin—which added new challenges, including them both saying, “I don’t feel like myself” and emotional breakdowns when the medication wore off. The medical solution recommended was: “keep taking the meds continuously.”
We also explored alternative naturopathic treatments, nutrition, and supplements and we soon found ourselves exhausted and financially strained from the costs of trying to give our kids the best chance at good health.
Finally, a breakthrough!
When our eldest son was 10, I was introduced to a homeopath. After a lengthy, thorough consult, she suggested a remedy for him. One remedy. Overnight, his urination problem disappeared.
It was life changing.
In the early 1990s, as more vaccines were introduced each year, I chose to stop following the standard schedule. I began researching why my children’s health seemed so compromised after each injection. After witnessing such a remarkable improvement in my son’s health through homeopathy, I enrolled in a four-year classical homeopathy diploma program at the Vancouver Homeopathic Academy.
30 years of training, research, and experience.
Now, after 30 years of research and working with over 1,000 treasured clients as a certified classical homeopath, I conclude that vaccination is a topic parents need to fully understand before making an informed decision.
Yet…
- Emotions can become so intense that rational discussion often feels impossible.
- Many parents hesitate to voice their questions, for fear of harsh criticism.
- Intuition is often dismissed.
- Parents may face judgment from other parents, family members and medical professionals.
- The media and social media have created a culture of fear that new parents are particularly susceptible to.
It is a challenging time to have young children, and being a grandparent now, I see a new generation of parents starting in the same place I did. Sadly, 30 years later, there is still no easy way to bridge the gap of information on the vaccine issue.
Parents of young children do not have time to spend years or decades doing research, and for many, the idea of reading scientific research is not their idea of fun!
And even if you did, where do you even begin?
Making health choices beyond fear
I created this course to give parents the resources I wish I had when I was navigating parenthood.
To help you confidently make informed choices.
To emphasize the importance of understanding and giving consent for medical procedures
I have a deep passion for understanding the finer details and nuances of natural health and healing. I have done this research for you and have created a calm, grounded space where you can learn, reflect, and truly understand the risks, benefits, and alternatives of vaccinations, vs. having the natural illness.
I run this course as a voice of reason, without fear, shame, or bias influencing the process.
It is the culmination of a lifetime of personal experience, intense study and research and professional experience.
“Parents will spend hours researching before choosing to buy or lease a car or a house. Stress over car seats and stroller purchases. Research which foods are healthiest. It similarly behooves all parents to give the same level of attention to understanding the dozens of products – and they are products- pharmaceutical companies and the CDC seek to inject into their children. Whatever you choose, let me suggest doing so from a place of knowledge.”

“I felt concerned about vaccinating our daughter and the potential neurological damage that can result. We were very concerned that deciding not to vaccinate left parents shunned from the mainstream and especially from friends, family and our doctor.
This course made me feel I was not alone, and that support is out there. I also came away feeling I could have an intelligent conversation about why we chose not to vaccinate.”

In-depth guides for each childhood infectious illness
Each module includes a detailed look at a specific illness so you can recognize early signs and confidently begin homeopathic care.
Each guide covers:
- Key signs and symptoms for early recognition
- Possible risks and complications
- Prevention approaches, including nutrition, common-sense measures, and steps to take during outbreaks
- Homeopathic support options
You will also get:
-
Peace of mind
A 250-year-old medical system with a proven track record in managing outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics (Weston A. Price: Homeopathy & Epidemics).
-
A deeper understanding of your child
So that you can provide individualized healing support rather than a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Learn homeopathic remedies as distinct personalities, and choose what your child needs to heal quickly and effectively.
-

Join us on Zoom for personalized guidance and answers to your questions.
Your immune builder online e-course
Each of the 14 lessons is designed to give you the basic information about recognizing the signs and symptoms of:
- individual infectious illnesses
- potential risks and complications of illnesses as well as benefits of illnesses
- conventional treatment of illnesses and prevention (vaccines) noting possible risks
- and when to see your medical professional
and...
- homeopathic support in potential endemics, epidemics and pandemics, especially for the vaccine free
- nutritional support
- common sense measures
You’ll receive both traditional and homeopathic options, empowering you to make the choices that work best for your child and your family.
What if you could have the best of both worlds?
What if you could work cooperatively with common sense, homeopathy, and the conventional medical system?
When these approaches work together—much like the immune system itself—they create an ideal environment for supporting healing during infectious diseases.
There will be times when you may want or need to choose conventional medical care, especially in an emergency. In those moments, it’s helpful to understand what to expect during a doctor’s visit. This includes becoming familiar with basic medical terms, so you feel comfortable with “doctor/nurse speak,” particularly around diagnoses.
With the information provided in this course, you’ll be better equipped to recognize when it’s time to head to the hospital. You’ll gain the confidence to support your child’s healing with homeopathy—even on the way to the doctor’s office or emergency room, if needed.
The beauty of homeopathy is that it does not interfere with medical interventions; in fact, it can be used supportively. It’s not about choosing one or the other—it’s about allowing them to work together.
“It is incredibly helpful to reach out for advice when your children are sick. I very much appreciate the time that Donna puts into the forum and the generous advice that she gives. For me, this advice and actually practicing home treatment has helped me the most in trying to learn about homeopathy.”
— SC

Pay-what-you-can-afford option
I’ve intentionally kept the cost of my courses to a minimum. Still, I know that for some people—veterans, retirees, families with vaccine-injured children, those managing chronic illness, or anyone on a fixed income—traditional pricing can still be out of reach.
Many families dealing with health challenges also face financial strain. I’ve been financially vulnerable myself, and I understand what that feels like. I also know that when we get back on our feet, we naturally pay it forward.
To ensure this education is available to everyone, I’m pleased to offer a Pay-What-You-Can-Afford model.
If you would like to access this scholarship option, please email me (Donna) in confidence at donna@powersofhomeopathy.com, and we will create an individualized price and payment plan that works for you.
My promise: No one will be excluded from my courses due to financial limitation.
