Astaire Roorda’s interest in homeopathy began after observing how it helped her eldest daughter overcome asthma at the age of six. Amazed that her daughter no longer needed her medicated inhaler, her curiosity about homeopathy was piqued, and she decided to pursue the formal study of homeopathy. In 2014, she began studying homeopathy with Dr. Anne Jerome, CCH, and two years later, enrolled at the Academy of Homeopathy Education. She completed their rigorous homeopathic practitioner program in 2019, graduating with over 1,000 hours of live clinical training. Certified in 2019 as a classical homeopath through the Council for Homeopathic Certification, Astaire launched her practice in early 2020, and maintains a busy practice consisting of local and distance clients from her office in Rockwall, Texas. Astaire is an active member and volunteer with the Texas Society of Homeopathy, and maintains a dual TSH/NASH professional membership. In 2022, she joined the board of directors of the Council for Homeopathic Certification as the Public Relations Committee Chair. Astaire has a background in music education, and earned a Bachelor of Music Education degree from Wheaton College in 1999. She taught K-6 general music for Loudoun County Public Schools in Loudoun County, Virginia, and managed a successful private piano teaching studio. Astaire lives in Rockwall, Texas, with her husband Dirk, and their teenage daughters.
