About Kim Schiffer, ND

Kim's Story

A path rooted in personal experience

Kim was raised in the northern suburbs of Chicago, where she was rarely sick and was raised with the values of eating healthy and not always rushing to the doctor when something was wrong. As a teen, she learned the value of eating clean, fasting, and enjoyed sports and strength training. Taking good care of her health was important even at a young age.

However, it wasn't until she had children of her own that she learned the value of natural medicine. When her first child developed eczema at only 3 months old, the only medical treatment options available involved steroids - something she was not at all interested in giving her new baby. She began a deep search for alternatives and tried different topical and natural applications, to no avail. However, once she learned that eczema can be directly connected to diet she made a simple change and his eczema was completely gone in one week, never to return!

This realization ignited her passion of the simplicity of natural healing. She soaked up any knowledge she could find on the subject and shared it with those around her. She soon realized that helping others learn about what is going on in their body and what they can naturally do to fix it, was a path she had to take.

Currently she resides in rural Kankakee county where she enjoys the outdoors. She has a large garden as well as a diverse variety of berry bushes and fruit trees. She values growth, and has spent much of her life working on self and walking a spiritual path. She did her first fast when she was 15 and has done many extended fasts since then. She is warm and compassionate, with a listening ear and a passion of sharing her knowledge with any patient that comes into her office. She truly cares and wants to see you living your best, most healthy life possible!
