The Matakana Naturopath
Kim Campbell
Born and raised in the small town of Nelson, I grew up with vegetables in the garden and kombucha brewing in the cupboard. Natural medicine was a part of everyday living. My passion towards the healing power of food and herbs continued to flourish throughout my study years which lead me abroad to further my skills and knowledge. I became a qualified naturopath with a Bachelor degree in Health Science and a diploma in Clinical Nutrition whilst living in Australia where I met my Chef husband and had my first baby boy.
​
I changed my practice from city clinic to island paradise during a contract as Resident Health Practitioner on a private island resort in Fiji. This is where my love for apothecary and food-as-medicine blossomed as I was encouraged to get back to the 'roots' of healing with natural remedies and herbal workshops.
​
Prior to and alongside a decade of studying, I was immersed within the hospitality scene. Being amongst people, hosting, serving and communicating has been a skill I've recognised I not only have and love, but flourish in. A natural flow to combine these areas have led me towards hosting wellness retreats and workshops within the area.
​
In Matakana, during a postpartum period with my third baby, I had the chance to go inward. Taking time away from seeing clients, and focusing on seeing myself, my family and my environment. Focusing on personal development and mindful growth. With that, I was introduced to the world of Cha Dao (an ancient form of tea ceremony and meditation), Reiki (a practice of healing energy), and peaceful parenting (a daily practice!). Combining my world of naturopathic principles, tea, meditation, reiki & sound healing for a complete holistic experience that I now offer to the community.
​
Alongside homeschooling my three young boys with my husband, you'll find me nestled into my wellness space on Takatu Road in Matakana, offering naturopathy, Cha Dao, reiki and sound healing sessions, or hosting events and workshops within the area.

I hope we get the chance to connect one day, until then may you find
peace, health & happiness on your journey in this life.
