Karin Christlmeier
Karin Christlmeier DHHP, DMH Karin discovered at an early age the limitations of allopathic medicine when her mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. For the next three years, she watched helplessly as her mother endured numerous surgeries and other treatments, until finally succumbing to the disease in 1977. She remembers thinking at the time, "If only it was ten years later, there would be a cure for cancer," words that would later come to haunt her. Following family tradition, Karin completed her studies in engineering, graduating from Lakehead University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. It was during this time that her father was diagnosed with cancer, ironically ten years after her mother. Again she watched helplessly as he was poisoned with chemotherapy and radiation. He lived long enough to see her graduate, passing on shortly thereafter. Work eventually brought Karin to Perth, Ontario, when she accepted a job with 3M Canada. During this time, she married and had her two children. Her children's health issues again made her question allopathic medicine. She still remembers the cold feeling in the pit of her stomach as she held her babies while they were injected with the numerous vaccines of the time. Thankfully, the vaccines did not cause life-threatening reactions, but her son developed asthma shortly after a DPTP booster and her daughter was diagnosed with migraines when she was five years old. Now totally disillusioned with allopathic medicine, Karin began to look into alternatives for her children. With herbal medicine, she was able to wean her son from the three inhalers he was on and was able to reduce the frequency of her daughter's migraines. She now spent much of her spare time looking into the various types of alternative medicine, and discovered Heilkunst. She graduated from the Hahnemann College for Heilkunst with her DHHP in 2004. KKarin has been seeing patients at the Johnson Chiropractic Clinic in Perth since the fall of 2004. She is a Doctor of Medical Heilkunst DMH with the Canadian/International Heilkunst Association. Karin lives just outside of Perth with her husband Allan, her two children Garrett and Kaitie, two German Shepherd dogs, Zorro and Toska, and Sophie the cat. Just a few minutes down the road are the family's three horses CC Ryder, Talo Nazeer and California Kiss. When Karin is not with patients, you can find her at the hockey rink or soccer field watching the kids play, or at the farm training her horses. Back to Directory of Practitioners  |
