Kim Zandbergen, owner of Halomedics
From a young age, my children were frequently ill: lots of respiratory infections, eczema, allergies, digestive issues... There was no improvement in sight, and it was frustrating. Conventional medicine offered us only antibiotics, inhalers, and hormone creams, which didn't sit well with me at all! I thought there must be another way...
Thus began a journey. From (alternative) therapies in the south of the country to ventures abroad... Each step brought a bit of improvement. It was an intense period, but I learned so much about health along the way.
The salt room came into our lives during this search. My husband had lived in Russia for years, where salt rooms are commonplace and even part of conventional medicine. We were so enthusiastic about this concept that we initially started in Limmen, and within 15 months, we had three locations. We began with salt therapy, and soon after, we started collaborating with Dr. Richard Danel from the Magnesium Health Institute. He guided us (and still does) in offering magnesium inhalation.
Five years ago, we could never have imagined doing so much. From pursuing education, developing new therapies (including for home use), to creating many remarkable and effective health aids.
From radio interviews to presentations for the Lung Foundation and physiotherapists... Attending courses and trips abroad to continue learning. But ultimately, it all revolves around one thing, and that is supporting people in good health, which we believe we do quite well!
