My Story

I am currently a registered Naturopathic Doctor in Alberta (License #2009) with an extensive background in Pharmacy, as I was a pharmacist, before I transitioned to Naturopathic Medicine.

My goal was always to expand my services across the country and thank God, I now own 2 locations in Toronto (Beehive Wellness) where a team of Ontario registered doctors practice to assist patients. Currently, although I own the Toronto clinics, I do not practice there as an ND, however I manage the business aspects and I am the clinic director. Beehive Wellness’s team are doctors or nurse practitioners who have Medical background (Surgeons, Family Physicians, Pharmacists), and yet are practicing Naturopathic Medicine, and have the same goal as me which is truly, and solely helping people.

The Problem

I was born in the Middle East, but due to being a top student in a gifted program, I was able to move to the Philippines and get into the university at the age of 16. Once I finished my university, I moved to Canada to continue my education. I quickly learned how different the Western world is compared to my hometown, where people eat organic, natural foods and live a healthier lifestyle. After being introduced to GMO foods and the new environment (busier and stressful), I started feeling sick emotionally and physically. The more I ate the processed food and didn’t take care of my health; the worse my health started getting. 

I felt the need to understand the food I was eating and how it was affecting my health. So I started to research and study on my own about food and health, outside of the Western Medicine. 

The Solution

I have always been interested in medicine and healing. I always wanted to become a heart surgeon, but I reached a really deep spiritual state that my happiness was to do something rare and challenging which is to heal people. I wasn’t aware that a medical school combines traditional medicine with modern medicine, so after I found out about Naturopathic Medical school, I started my journey to becoming a naturopathic doctor, after I finished my Pharmacy degree.

I became focused on spirituality and healing and treating the root cause rather than just symptoms of the disease alone, which I was doing as a pharmacist. However, after graduating from the school of Naturopathic Medicine, I realized that what people need is information on how they can prevent illness in the first place.

 I decided to open various clinics where people can genuinely be informed, educated, and receive safe, natural, and effective treatments.

About My Work

Much of my work is with Men and Women who are looking to improve their health. I am focused on Smoking Cessation and Respiratory Health, (ASTHMA, BRONCHITIS, PNEUMONIA, LUNG CANCER, COPD, COVID19 side effects, and other Lung Infections). However I see and work with a lot of cases, such as LIVER DISEASE, WEIGHT LOSS, GUT CONDITIONS, MIGRAINE, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, THYROID DYSFUNCTIONS, STRESS MANAGEMENT, DIABETES Type 1 and 2, AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE, SEXUAL DYSFUNCTIONS, INSOMNIA, and etc…

I have been in this field for a while, and I have learned that unfortunately, most people are not aware that a lot of food choices and unhealthy habits put them at risk for chronic disease and what changes they can make to prevent significant health problems in the future. This is something I aim to change!

 As someone who studied for four years in Pharmacy, I am very aware that there are conditions that require the use of medication. However, misusing the medications or thinking medications are the only answer to the illness is something I am against. 

I am all about living a happy life and staying as healthy as possible in the most natural ways.
