In search of health
All my life I have yearned to help animals, big and small. Naturally and through divine guidance I ended up as a veterinarian. It has been such a blessing to assist your animals when they fall ill or when they need a little help to stay healthy. In my almost decade long career I have learnt that healing animals are far more complicated than just prescribing pharmaceuticals or cutting out the diseased parts of the body. Health and healing are more complicated and sacred than understood by conventional medicine. It was a horse in the Dubai Equine Hospital that changed my career path completely. This poor animal has been suffering from back pain for almost 2 years and no diagnoses could be reached. He had undergone every imaginable treatment including back injections, physiotherapy, steroid therapy, magnet therapy and many more...with no relief. Luckily their was an Equine Acupuncturist practicing in the hospital at the time. After 3 acupuncture treatment his pain was completely gone. I was astonished. When I asked the veterinarian how he did it he simply replied: “If you understand that everything is energy you can heal anything”.
This moment started my study in complementary medicine. Being a analytical and open minded skeptic, I ventured into scientific research on the events witnessed. I am now a certified acupuncturist and it is my passion to teach other veterinarians this art in healing. This page will aim to help the pet parent understand the wonderful therapies that are available for your four legged family members. I am a fierce advocate for the integration of these so called “alternative medicine” into conventional medicine not as an alternative but as functional medicine with the ultimate aim in creating personalized treatment plan that suites the animal and owner best.
“If you look closely enough, you will always find hope in your pets eyes”. I hope that through sharing my experiences and knowledge with you, that you can again find the hope in your beloved animals’ eyes.
