'I have always had a passion for nutrition, fitness, and wellness. Growing up I knew I wanted to be a Doctor but was undecided about the specific field of study. What I did know that invasive approaches, like medication and surgery should not be the only choices we had. I wanted something else, something that addressed problems at a deeper level. It was then that I learned that this is what Doctors of Chiropractic are all about. Their holistic approach to health care put an end to my search. With a Bachelors of Science degree in Biology, from the University of Western Ontario, I was off to Chiropractic University - National University of Health Sciences in Chicago, Illinois. There I received my Doctorate in Chiropractic and Bachelors degree in Human Biology. I then pursued my love for nutrition and earned a certification as a Clinical Nutritionist. After graduating, I practiced in Chicago in a multi-disciplinary clinic and worked with a team of medical doctors, chiropractic doctors, and physical therapists with a common goal; overall patient wellness. Drugs and surgery were used in the clinic, but truly represented a last resort. Thousands of patients suffering from a wide spectrum of neuromusculoskeletal conditions regained their health and transformed their lives through natural Chiropractic care. I continue to love witnessing such transformations and I am excited to be part of the CSC health care team in the UAE.'
'My patients are always surprised when I tell them that chiropractic school curriculums are very similar to that of medical schools. The difference lies primarily in the emphasis. Chiropractic school emphasizes anatomy, physiology, neurology, biomechanics, x-ray, and nutrition. Medical school students receive more class hours in pharmacology and pathology. The intense training at National University of Health Sciences helped me develop my confidence in diagnosing, treating, and managing a wide range of human ailments from pediatrics to geriatrics from acute and chronic conditions to preventative/wellness care.'
'My mission as a Doctor of Chiropractic is to empower patients with vital health information and to inspire them to take responsibility of their health and wellness. It is much easier to maintain health than it is try to regain it after it's gone. Therefore, educating about how to prevent disease is my objective with each and every patient.'
'In addition to standard chiropractic training, I attended numerous seminars that focused on the care of pregnant mothers and children. More and more parents are seeking chiropractic care for their children, since many adult spinal issues begin from early traumas-as early as birth. Even so called 'natural' birthing methods can stress an infant's spine and developing nervous system. This can result in newborn health complaints such as colic, sleeping disturbances, breathing problems and nursing difficulties. Beyond the spine, my passion for Nutrition inspired me to earn a CCN (Certified Clinical Nutritionist) under the sponsorship of the Clinical Nutrition Certification Board (CNCB). This meant extensive training in nutritional supplementation, detoxification, and weight management. Nutritional health and Chiropractic care go hand in hand as key players in the overall recipe for Wellness. My interest in wellness and alternative health care strategies has also led me to earn a Fellowship in the International Academy of Medical Acupuncture.'
