How I ended up doing what I do

My educational background before medicine was in kinesiology and nutrition (and before that, makeup artist!). I LOVED nutrition but when deciding what to do after graduating I didn’t want to pursue the conventional path becoming a dietitian because it just didn’t appeal to me. I had always been raised with a more holistic approach toward eating and living.

Being Pakistani and Mexican, I was fortunate that I had a lot of tried-and-true botanical wisdom passed on to me from both cultures so taking prescription medications/pharmaceuticals was a last resort. As such, I regularly took herbs and I went to acupuncturists in lieu of conventional doctors.

During my final year of undergrad, I learned of a school that offered a doctorate of naturopathic medicine where I would learn about nutrition in a holistic manner, learn acupuncture, homeopathy, botanical medicine, acupuncture AND conventional medicine curriculum—I knew that was the route that would be perfect for me.

Now, I run my own virtual practice because it felt like it was my only option with the way I envisioned practicing. That said, my cultural background and my mini stint as a makeup artist and beauty advisor with Lancome, are very key to my journey and the way I practice medicine. 

I learned that the mind-body connection is real and healing years of suppression does wonders for well being and beauty. I also learned of my obsession with skin (and that I hated doing makeup for others lol).

I remember wondering: why did some people have perfect flawless skin and others not, yet both were using the same products? Why were some people exhibiting incredible results upon starting a topical regimen that I would sell them and others not?

I knew there had to be more than was meeting the eye; I recognized then that there was a connection with everything going on within our minds and bodies and what was on visible on the outside.

It is now my goal to connect the two and empower people to address the issues going on inside first to have the effect they want on the outside. And I don’t want to limit myself to one location or do this by giving facials & cookie cutter trend protocols; so that’s why and how I got here.

I recently had my first PRP treatment with Dr. Nadia. My pigmented acne scars have either extremely lightened or cleared up altogether! My skin looks brighter, more even and plump, and I can finally be comfortable with less makeup on. I will definitely be continuing these treatments!
