Mim Beim- Naturopath
Mim Beim has written 8 books including Grow Your Own Medicine (to be published 2011),Tea, Health & Happiness, FeelGood Food, Beaming with Health, and The Commonsense Guide to Eating Well for the Nutritionally Bewildered.
Through nearly 25 years of practice Mim has developed a commonsense approach to healing. For instance, there is no point in taking every supplement known to man if a simple diet or lifestyle change will do the trick.
Mim Beim
Mim believes that at some level each patient often intuitively knows or has a hunch what is wrong with them, and what is the right direction they should take with regard to healing.
She also believes treatment should be enjoyable as well as helpful - so unless absolutely necessary, you are unlikely to be put on a tortuous diet regime. Or for that matter, an array of supplements. Mim's preference is for the least amount of medicines, natural or pharmaceutical, ideally prescribing a simple change of diet and lifestyle.
Mim has had experience treating a large range of conditions but has a particular interest in stress related problems and digestive disorders.
All I do is listen hard, and try to help with any information or medicine that is needed. If another modality such as orthodox medicine, osteopathy or counselling is required, I will refer you to the appropriate practitioner. Whatever it takes to get you feeling better.
