Nicole Bijlsma is a woman of passion, and her passion lies in environmental medicine. She first became interested in building biology as a result of two events that occurred in her life: the first was when she began to notice the connection between many of her patient’s ill health and their homes. The second was her infertility. The cause of her ten miscarriages was eventually identified as an immune disorder (which was diagnosed by a US reproductive immunologist) which she now suspects arose from long term exposure to a high electromagnetic field.

Once these issues were addressed, she successfully gave birth to her children. Nicole is an accomplished naturopath, acupuncturist and building biologist who has been in clinical practice since 1989.
