My enthusiasm to help others led me to begin this journey about 18 years ago when I studied medicine. Right after graduating from Medical School,I packed and went to rural areas of my country to help people in need. I worked as an ER doctor and treated many people suffering from all types of disorders and pain. During my
tenure in General practice and in the Emergency room, I knew that prescribing medicine was not enough and there should be another way. Years later, when I immigrated to Canada, I was introduced to manual osteopathy as a holistic approach for many conditions that I previously treated with prescription drugs. I found this to be the missing link that I had been searching for all this time!
> Osteopathy teaches us the body is a self-healing unit with a close correlation between structure and function and in order to recover
functionality, one should fix structure. Osteopathy techniques enable the body to heal itself in a natural way.
I use a combination of techniques that allow your body to regain its natural alignment to start the healing process.
I offer a variety of manual osteopathy services from chronic pain relief to craniosacral therapy. Osteopathic Wellness services can also be used as a preventive measure to keep you pain free and enjoying life!!
While I am not working, I enjoy outdoor meditation. As a night-owl, I Love to read a book and sometimes write a poem. I never stopped being a night-thinker. I have been to 20 countries in 3 continents and 175 to go and my most precious collection is my travel pictures.
