Following
on from last week’s part 1 edition of getting to know our resident Naturopath,
we are excited to bring you part 2. This week we will learn about Kimberly’s
many other talents and what makes her tick...
We
hope you enjoy getting to know her a bit better.
What are your 'must do' healthy habits
each week?
I
feel at my best with daily freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices. They
set me up for the day and help me feel cleansed and ready to start the day. I
also prescribe to a fruit and vegetable based diet before 12pm each day so I
try to eat an avocado or banana after my juice.
I am
also addicted to Yoga. It is my sanctuary, not only allowing me the space to centre
my mind, find clarity and set intentions, but also to help me maintain my
bodies strength, core stability and tone. I will be embarking on a 30 day Yoga
Challenge at the Power
Yoga Company in Parsons Green starting on the 24th
of November. Come and join me!
Do you have an ideal patient?
I am
a big believer that we are all the master of our own life, with health being
one of the most important aspects of life. So therefore my ideal patient is
someone who is willing to take responsibility for their health and be dedicated
to making the right steps to create incredible changes for their own health.
Commitment is the key and it makes my life as a practitioner so much more
enjoyable if i can see the enthusiasm my patients have for their own health.
If you were Mayor of London for the day,
how would you help to make London a healthier city?
I
would regulate the advertising and claims made on food packaging to help
consumers make real, informed decisions on the foods they are buying. It really
bothers me that food manufacturers can pretty much claim anything to be
‘healthy’.
What are your greatest achievements?
I
guess two events spring to mind when I think about times in my life when I have
felt proud of my efforts. The first came when I was a young teenager and I was
able to represent my country in indoor volleyball. The other is a rather
exciting new achievement...I have recently become a published author! My recipe
book titled 'Suitcases of Recipes' was published in Norway in November 2012.
Hoping to someday have it published in English, Kimberly hopes all her
Norwegian friends will be buying it up as their Christmas present this year.

What are your passions other than
Natural Therapies?
Gosh,
where do I start! I think it’s fair to say that my biggest passion outside of
natural therapies is food and cooking. I absolutely love to cook. I find it
therapeutic and very relaxing. Over the last few years I have developed a real
passion for photography. In the recipe book I have recently had published in
Norway I shot all the food and travel photography. My camera has become a bit
of an extension of my arm and some of my happiest moments are when I'm snapping
away. I also wouldn't be me without the freedom and experience of travel and
exploration. It feeds my soul and allows me to expand my mind. I also LOVE to
ski and try and write as much as possible. But most of all, I would love to be
able to pick up my surfboard again one day and walk across the sand dunes of my
favourite surf beach in Australia and paddle out...
Make
a appointment to see Kimberly at Well4ever Clinic on Tuesdays and Thursday
10am-3pm.
