About Me

---

After years of struggling with the symptoms of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and numerous visits to doctors and specialists, I turned to natural therapies. Within three weeks of starting a new herbal remedy I started seeing results.

After continuing treatment for a few months the results had such an impact on me that it created a desire to change my career and in 2004 I began studying Naturopathy. I graduated in January 2008 and in April 2008 I started a business in Auckland, N.Z. called Natural Reproductive Care, specialising in natural fertility and reproductive health. In May 2011, my daughter and I moved to Peregian Springs in Queensland, Australia and we've never been happier.

I love the lifestyle here and the beautiful weather and most of all I love the people

Nikki is currently studying towards a Bachelor of Health Science (Complementary Medicine) through Charles Sturt University. In 2009 she began writing articles on natural health for the Magic Beans website in N.Z.

Nikki believes in inspiring people to take a proactive approach to health care, maintaining wellness, rather than the management of ill health that may be preventable.

I have been suffering from bloating and stomach cramps after eating certain foods for a few years now. However, this year the problem escalated to the point where I could no longer ignore it. I would eat certain foods and experience dramatic side effects such as nausea, extreme bloating to the point where I looked 6 months pregnant, immediate diarrhoea, stabbing pains in my stomach, tiredness, stress, migraines and dizziness. I tried to get help from doctors, internet searches, books, talking to people with similar problems and was told I had Irritable Bowel Syndrome but knowing this didn’t help. Coming across Nikki Chad’s business card was the best thing that happened to me. I made my appointment for as soon as I could and couldn’t wait to see her in the hope she’d finally be able to help me with my problem.

She chatted to me about my symptoms and I was impressed by how thorough she was with her questions. She also did some tests to find out extra information and to diagnose my problem.

In conclusion she suggested I stick to a diet suited to my blood type and also steer clear of the foods causing the problems which in my case are wheat, gluten, lactose, caffeine, highly processed foods and high fat foods. She also made me a herbal medicine to help my digestive system and lower my stress levels and she also recommended I take some supplements.

A month later I am feeling 100% better and have a flat stomach again. Relief!! Nikki provided information, advice, but most importantly a clear and achievable plan so that I can minimise my symptoms and deal with my eating problems on a day to day basis.

Thank you Nikki for making me feel so good!

Nikki from Natural Reproductive Care has been looking after my health since 2006. I have taken supplements for most of my adult life and have been a vegetarian for 30 years. In 1995 I had all my amalgam fillings removed because of chronic fatigue and chest pains.

Nikki brought a planned approach to my health needs by starting with a hair analysis to assess heavy metal exposure and mainly to determine whether or not the mercury had been removed from my system. We discovered I still had a reasonably high level of mercury. At the same time I was suffering from a hereditary problem of high blood pressure so Nikki gave me a treatment plan consisting of supplements and herbs to remove the mercury and lower my blood pressure. After just a few months my blood pressure was back to normal and I felt my energy levels had increased significantly.

Over the years I have also suffered from digestive problems and when I first saw Nikki I had been taking Losec every day. Nikki explained to me that Losec could be making the problems worse and gave me a digestive supplement containing hydrochloric acid which has greatly improved my symptoms. She has also recommended that I stop drinking coffee (I was drinking 4 cups daily) because that contributes to digestive problems however I am unwilling to completely stop and have cut down to 2-3 daily. We are currently waiting for results from an allergy test so that I can get to the bottom of my digestive issues.

I have no hesitation in recommending Nikki as a very competent and knowledgeable natural health practitioner. If you are serious about your health and prepared to do what Nikki tells you, I have no doubt you will achieve the results you desire.
