Kim The Naturopath / TESTIMONIALS

Testimonials

I wish to pay homage & express my eternal gratitude to my brilliant Naturopath N.D., whom has helped me through hormonal issues more than any Doctor in over 30 years & guided me through menopause back to sanity. I first found Kim thanks to a friend who lent me her book. It was so easy to read & everything made such perfect sense, so I decided to seek her out. My only regret is that I didn’t find her sooner. Kim’s knowledge on how our body works & how everything is connected is immeasurable & I cannot recommend her enough, to anyone, both men & women. If you suffer fatigue, depression, digestive problems or any health issue whatever, the reason I have absolutely no doubt that Kim can find & help you eliminate the cause. I have absolute faith in her. I got my energy, motivation & positive attitude back, much to my husband’s relief, giving me a renewed zest for life. Kim is based in Brisbane, but is happy to do phone consultations to those in regional areas.

I first visited Kim in 2012 when I was fed up with going to doctors and specialists and getting no results. At that time, I had very irregular periods, cysts on my ovaries, anxiety and a thyroid that would swing from underactive to overactive all the time. Kim helped me sort out my thyroid by putting me on natural thyroid tablets which also helped my anxiety levels. She also started me on a progesterone cream which meant I was getting my period every 28 days and which also helped my cysts go away and since then they haven’t come back and I have since always had regular periods. Because of my history of irregular periods and cysts on my ovaries I thought I might struggle to fall pregnant but I have recently fallen pregnant without trying for very long at all (in fact it happened while I was on holiday and wasn’t actively trying) I have been very impressed with everything Kim has done for me and I am so very grateful. I would recommend her to anyone going through any kind of health issue especially hormonal or fertility concerns.

After my miscarriage, it was really reassuring consulting with Kim. Kim gave me clear instructions of what I need to do, what supplements to use to prepare my body for the next pregnancy.  If you are reading this thinking you must have been the only one who had a miscarriage, I am telling you, you are not alone, I also thought the same thing! And how wrong I was, once I got my courage together and I told some of my friends, I was told, that it is in fact a very common thing and it happens to so many women. Most people just choose not to talk about this as they feel it is something they have done wrong. The thing is you have done nothing wrong, it just happens and it is nobody’s fault. So my husband and I waited a few more months (I think it was about 4-5) before trying again for a baby as I wanted to give maximum time for my body and mind to heal and get ready.  The thing not many people talk about is when the time is right to try for a baby, you might not be in the mood. This was certainly my and my husband’s experience, so for us it was more of a “we have got this week, when we should aim for as many ‘together time’ as possible”. I know it  doesn’t sound very romantic. 🙂 But it works! Fortunately not long ago I fell pregnant, this time I knew much sooner that I was pregnant than the first time. I had all the symptoms of being lethargic, nauseous and my boobs were extremely sore and started growing! For me it was also reassuring that as soon as it was established I was pregnant I got in contact with Kim, who straight away gave me new instructions for how to proceed with supplements etc. To this day I feel I am in very safe hands with her.
– Good luck to you all! Take care, ZN

 

Thank you so much for helping me. I was going through a particularly difficult time. You explained that I wasn’t going crazy, it was just my hormones. I’ve been able to follow your advice and I feel great. Many thanks again. I cannot recommend you highly enough and have absolute confidence in your advice and care

It is impossible to pack into a few sentences the difference Kim has made to my health and well being? She is brilliant, caring, a wealth of information and I highly recommend her. I am consequently a better and healthier person and I LOVE my renewed self. Pick up the phone and make an appointment, you will not regret it.

Just wanted to take a minute to send you a quick update on my daughter and myself, and thank you for all your help with our health. Both Elise and I are not on any medication at all now which is FANTASTIC!! Elise’s skin is so much better and seems under control – with makeup, you wouldn’t even know that there was a problem. My skin (back and chest) is so much better and when I do have breakouts, I know it is because of what I have eaten. Once I get back on track, it settles down again. Our cycles are also back to normal. This is such a relief for me in regards to Elise, and it is nice that I am back to a normal cycle for a peri-menopausal woman. I was concerned about Elise’s system for quite some time as a 17/18 year old girl should have more than 3 periods a year. In regards to my hormonal health, I know most GPs would have diagnosed me with early menopause and put me on the pill to regulate things. Many of my friends have had this advice from their GPs – I now preach what you have taught me!!!

 

I cannot thank you enough for all your help, and the fact that I no longer need to contact you is testament to your brilliance and knowledge in this complicated field of women’s health! As my body changes, I will probably have need to contact you again. It is so nice to know there is someone to ring/email when things go awry. Thank you so much. I will continue to be your voice to my friends and family.

I am going really well Kim – fit and well. I am doing Personal Training 5 days a week and doing some training to become a Personal Trainer. I have changed my life around so much since I first came to see you – you put me on the right track with diet and now with the exercise I am feeling 100% fit and well.

I am half way through your book and was addicted and glued to it from the first page. It is really scary how most of us don’t really know how our bodies work and what they really need and how pharmaceutical companies manage to dictate what doctors prescribe. I want to give this book to the woman in my life I care about and hope they will pass it around. Thank You for telling us the truth…

When I turned 40, my body seemed to have an alarm that went off and all the ‘female’ problems I had heard about, appeared. Kim gave me the encouragement and guidance to sort this out, and to continue to be healthy. I’m glad I persisted with Kim’s help – it has been worth it. And if I can approach menopause without fear and trepidation, then life seems so much easier.

Living in central Queensland we only have access to a limited number of health care facilitators and until I attended one of Kim’s talks I just took for granted that as a woman I had to live with the ups and downs associated with hormones. But now I have a light at the end of the tunnel – there is hope for relief of those awful monthly symptoms and with Kim only a phone call or email away I feel I can finally be the ‘me’ I want to be without the mood swings, bloating etc

I went to visit Kim in the hope of working out why I was spending at least half of my week with a bad headache that lasted 2 to 3 days and left me feeling very debilitated. We churned through quite a bit of stuff in the first session, with Kim making some not so difficult changes to my eating habits ,like cutting out chocolate, more protein and some supplements. I noticed results almost instantly. I’m now into my second month of a changed eating regime and haven’t had a headache till today, two days before my period ,which Kim asked me to assess and expected. I am sure she will have a solution to that too. Thanks Kim you are a lifesaver.

I still think of myself as a young woman, but I was amazed to realise that I’ve been seeing Kim for almost twenty years now! Kim has had a great deal of influence in my life, through her wise, educated and thorough approach to attaining good health – and it is a good deal of Kim’s guiding influence over the years that has helped me maintain my health, vitality and youthfulness. If you have an inkling that you could feel better than you do, don’t hesitate, don’t procrastinate, invest your time, and invest in your health and go and visit Kim. She is a gifted and wise practitioner. Kim changed my life by showing me that good health is a natural state and is easy to maintain.

After finding a lump in my breast and gaining weight at a speed of knots and an extremely heavy menstrual cycle of just 20 days I sought help from kinesiology in Brisbane who then referred me to Kim Balson. At my first visit with Kim which was on June 23rd, 2010 Kim gave me an eating plan and a prescription for a couple of things and instructions to have a salvia hormone test. I would like to mention that my hormones had previously been tested by blood through my doctors and I was told everything was fine and to all my problems they had little answers. I started the eating plan immediately and I must say very diligently (in 10 months I never waived from the plan once) and sent the saliva away for testing. Kim also said she would see me in a month and expected a weight loss of at least 4kg – I was now accountable to someone.

 

My hormone test results were startling to say the least and Kim prescribed natural progesterone cream and at the next visit to Kim I had lost 6.6kg. My life has changed dramatically since June last year for the better I must say. At the end of April 2011 I had lost 36.8kg since my first visit to Kim, I still have a few more kilos to go and my cycle has increased to 26 days with a normal loss, I am feeling amazing. Thanks so much Kim!! I didn’t think there was that big of a difference until I received a photo in the mail in May, 2011 that was taken a few days before my first visit to Kim – it was a real awakening for me and I have now realised that a lot has been achieved.

My health has changed considerably and in particular, my bowel habits are so much better, it is comforting to be able to go to the toilet each day and I have continued with your suggestions of tresos B vit, lemon juice and colon cleanse each day. My skin and hair are now glowing, I feel so alive, I am 42 and feel like 22, I have so much energy, it is truly a lovely thing. When I get sick eg a cold, my immune is that strong that I recover very quickly. Lots of people comment on my skin and hair. I am so glad I invested in my health and came to see you, I feel a different woman.
