Non Surgical Facelift with Dr. Nigma in Notting Hill
Leading up to my 50th birthday last January 8th I decided that I needed to find the best facial treatment available. I certainly landed on my feet when I was pointed in Dr Nigma Talib’s direction. I have had several treatments with Dr Nigma where she performed medical diamond microdermabrasion (in a class of its own compared to other dermabrasion treatments I’ve experienced) followed by the LED Red Light Therapy which interestingly has been used by NASA, the US Army and athletes for quick healing and preventing muscle breakdown.
The beauty of this treatment is that it is just that “a treatment” not a facial. In my opinion this treatment is one of the most effective and non-invasive ways I have experienced of rejuvenating and repairing my skin. Not only could I and my friends see substantial results after just one treatment but the effects have really lasted.
What happens is that the skin continues to repair and build collagen stimulation weeks after the treatment and my skin feels plump and firm. You can tell that this treatment goes very deep into the dermis layer of the skin. The stimulation of Collagen helps plump the skin, while the stimulation of elastic helps firm my skin.
Dr. Nigma ends the session with a detoxifying pure vitamin c mask that is bespoke for every individual and she explains has a molecular structure that enables this powerful antioxidant to stay in the skin for at least 72 hours. The science of this treatment is incredible and every woman who is over the age of 25 should be thinking of having these treatments to treat and prevent ageing skin with regards to texture, collagen, elasticity and pigment issues. I have referred many patients to Dr. Nigma for a range of totally different issues and all of them have been incredibly happy with the results.

‘I took the food allergy/intolerance test after speaking to Dr Nigma regarding recent dizziness, my long term skin reaction problems and difficulty in losing weight around my lower abdomen, which she suspected could all be down to food intolerances. After receiving my results I thought it would be difficult to eliminate certain foods from my diet, however with the simple to follow report and recommended food alternatives I found it relatively easy and within six weeks had lost over 9lbs, noticed a major difference in my lower abdomen as well as improved skin and energy levels. I’ve made the change permanently now and would recommend it to everybody. If you would like to speak to me in person please ask at reception and I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have.’

Dear Sir/Madam,
I met Dr. Nigma Talib in 2002, during an ayurvedic lecture that was being conducted for the opening of a new Ayurvedic Health Spa in Vancouver, B.C.
I had come to learn that one of the reasons Dr. Nigma was attending the educational lecture was to connect with the spa and cross promote her profession with that of the spa’s. Having that consciousness and foresight to bond together not only on a business level, but to provide and extend this level of support to her clients and the spa’s, was a very profound concept to me.
I immediately felt gravitated to her magnetic aura that glows immanently all around her, and set up my 1st appointment with her for a Naturopathy session shortly there after. Dr. Nigma listened to all my concerns intently during my appointment(s) with her, and I found that I felt validated and heard. Intuitively she knew to provide acupuncture to deflate the built up stress I was carrying through out my body and mind. I started feeling better with in our fist session.
I feel very grateful to have received her care and guidance as my Naturopath Doctor. I believe
Dr. Nigma goes above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to her profession. Providing her knowledge and wisdom to me has impacted my life positively on so many levels. I look forward to our visits and continue to strive for optimum health with her guidance and compassion for her the love of her profession. Dr. Nigma continues to inspire me to do better for my health and well being and that of others.
Dr. Nigma is a true reflection of the love she shares for her profession in Naturopathy.
To know Dr. Nigma is a blessing that is dearly cherished in my life and I am sure has touched numerous others along her way.
Sincerely,
Cindy Holcombe

Dr Nigma Talib has been a consistent source of referral for me in my daily practice. I am very fortunate that she understands the relationship between the musculoskeletal system and physiological health and that we work in the same building! She is an integral part of my work.
Dr Talib surpasses this understanding and obvious wealth of knowledge with true application and determination to help her patients. Her level of expertise and constant striving for a ‘no nonsense’ results based practice is truly impressive, particularly when one considers the very challenging areas of patient health which she works in.
Dr Talib is always finding time for educational development and specialises in the female systems, and has provided truly life changing protocols to patients, for example, helping women conceive.
I am certain that Dr Talib deserves recognition for her work and her energy to develop her skills and her patients lives. I’m sure that she will go on to further recognition in the future.

As a colleague and friend of Dr Talib I can account for her high level of professionalism, personal accomplishments and remarkable achievements.

Having been fortunate enough to work with Dr Talib on a national seminar circuit and a leading lifestyle medicine training program for health professionals I am happy to authenticate her unprecedented professionalism.

I am delighted to be able to support Dr Talib for the nomination of Asian Women of Achievement Award. Having worked alongside her for the last eighteen months I have witnessed the enormous health benefits that she has provided not only to my clients but also in improving the health of my family and I.
Dr Talib’s role as a Naturopathic physician is fairly unique in this country and she fills a vital role within the Bowskill Clinic in our aim to provide holistic health care. In my dealings with clients who present with pain and dysfunction there are often other health issues affecting their recovery. I am able to refer them with confidence to Dr Talib in the knowledge that they will receive a thorough examination of their health systems and receive the best appropriate treatment. This treatment does not involve the use of medication but involves for example dietary advice and the use natural supplements to heal and support their body.
With kind regards,
Yours sincerely,
Mr James Pinkney BA BSc MCSP

Testimonial in support of Dr Nigma Talib, ND
22nd February 2011
With only two years in the UK, Dr Talib has made a significant impact for good within the care and treatment of adults and children with chronic conditions /disease.
Multi disciplinary health professionals and adults / children with unrelenting chronic illness have benefited greatly from the clinical expertise and charisma of Dr Talib.
In conferences and lectures I have attended there is exceptional clarity and content in presentations given by Dr Talib. Indeed they are informative and inspirational and have helped in my quest to pursue Nutritional Therapy.
I am grateful and excited for the opportunities to meet with Dr Talib to discuss effective treatments for sick children with chronic illness and also my own health problems.
It is immeasurable what good effect may be achieved with Dr Talib’s excellent standard of care and knowledge in Naturopathic medicine for the deluge of chronically sick individuals in the UK.
Thank you for all the care and attention you give and all the very best in your future practice.

I am delighted to hear that Dr Nigma Talib has been nominated for the Asian Woman of the Year Award. I have had the privilege of working alongside Dr Talib in both Canada and the UK; and she has always displayed a rare level of professionalism. Patients, colleagues and peers have all commented on her respectful, genuine, collaborative and patient-centred approach to healthcare. I have referred many of my own clients to her, not only because I implicitly trust her medical expertise but also because I know that even my most anxious and emotionally fragile clients will feel safe, listened to and cared for from the moment that they step into her office. Dr Talib is dedicated to and passionate about helping patients and the general public in the realms of both physical and emotional health. She is a practitioner, an educator and an eternal and dedicated ‘student’- always keeping abreast of current research.
Dr Talib is a role model for women but also for other health professionals. She has figured out how to build and run two successful businesses whilst lecturing to her peers all over the UK, without sacrificing her values of integrity, community and education. She is never too busy to reassure or support her patients (outside of appointment hours) whether in person, on the phone or via email and is always happy to share her knowledge or brainstorm with colleagues in the Bowskill clinic. On the occasions that I have referred female adolescent clients to Dr Talib I know that in addition to receiving the optimum health care they are also benefitting from time spent with a successful and ethical female role model.

Dear Sir or Madame,
Please accept this letter of consideration as you review Dr. Nigma Talib for the Asian Woman Award.
I have had the privilege of knowing Dr. Talib on a personal and professional level for the past7 years.
When we first met, I was instantly intrigued by the amazing information Dr. Talib provided about naturopathic medicine in a casual conversation. It was very easy to see how passionate she was about her work and wanting to change the health of people, one person at a time.
I knew Dr. Talib was the answer to our family’s prayers. At that time, my dear Aunt was battling cancer in the final stages at the time. The chemo and radiation treatment were grueling and Dr. Talib provided us with options to treat the disease with natural methods and this greatly helped ease some of the agonizing suffering my Aunt was going through at the time. It took one treatment to see the difference but my Aunt’s health not only improved because of the amazing procedures but the “amazing, powerful, healing hands of Nigma.” Those were her words and she would ask to see Nigma as often as possible. My Aunt cried receiving conventional medical attention and beamed with happiness with she visited with Dr. Talib. Those were a few tough years made a lot easier because we were blessed to have Dr. Talib touch our lives. After my Aunt passed away – I continued to see Dr. Talib myself as she had also treated me for Typhiod after getting sick while reporting overseas.
Naturally our relationship developed into a great friendship and we ventured off to do numerous magazine articles, radio and television segments on various topics. Our purpose was to get the word out about amazing treatments that were helping saving lives.
Being a certified, trusted and knowledgeable source, Dr. Talib became one of the most sought after medical experts in our community…naturally.
She can deliver information flawlessly and make it easy to understand for all audiences.
If there is any further information you require, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Sincere Regards, Kuljeet Kaila

Dr Talib,
Mathilde and I are thrilled that you have been nominated for these awards. You are an extremely hard works, and you certainly deserve some credit!
As you well know, Mathilde and I had tried for many years on our own to get pregnant, and were unsuccessful on account of my testicular cancer, as well as our aging reproductive systems. When we came to you for some help with our general health, but specifically some help and support in our quest to have a baby, we were both very discouraged as we had been told by our fertility clinic that it was likely not in our cards, and that there was nothing more that they could do to help us. You took us in as your project, and you worked very hard to get our bodies healthy again.
After over 2 years of hard work and your dedication to our good health – we were delighted to find out that Mathilde was Pregnant with our little Daphney! You never gave up on us and we truly believe that your professional expertise along with your emotional support is what helped us achieve our dream. We cannot imagine how our lives would be without Daphney, she has enriched our lives more than we had even imagined a child could. Once again we thank you from the very bottom of our hearts, and wish you the best for these nominations.
Warmest Regards (with a big hug),
Mathilde & Ashley Slater
North Vancouver, Canada

“We are absolutely delighted with the advice that we received from Dr Nigma Talib and although we are in our mid-80′s, it has made significant improvements in areas of general health. We are establishing very regular digestion and to a large extent getting rid of arthritis and some of the pains we had in our limbs.”
