Can you share a few details about your professional beginning and what led you into this line of work?
My journey into integrative health began in childhood, as I observed several family members from different medical backgrounds. This early exposure sparked my curiosity and led to a deep fascination with the human body’s ability to heal.
Growing up with French and Lebanese roots, I was exposed to a variety of health perspectives from a young age, hearing from my grandmother how proud she is to be the mother of a medical doctor ‘Neurologist’ son who is helping the people in the village to be in a good health. And from another grandmother teaching her daughter which type of oil to drink to always keep a clean healthy gut, which shaped my holistic view of well-being.
After losing my father in my early years of studies, from a heart attack caused by an auto-immune disease that is caused by an emotional trauma, I decided to guide my mission and to bridge the gap between Eastern and Western medicine, using a combination of approaches to treat both the physical and emotional aspects of health.
I pursued doctorate education in Acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Physical Therapy, and Visceral Osteopathy, Vitamin Therapy, studying in diverse countries such as France, England, China, and Lebanon. Each of these environments allowed me to gain a rich, multi-dimensional understanding of health.
Over the past 20 years, my passion has grown from simply treating symptoms to exploring and addressing the deeper root causes of dysfunction. This led me to found Bioenergy in 2008, an integrative practice focused on empowering patients to achieve vibrant, long-lasting health. My work emphasizes not only treatment but also the prevention of illness, helping people unlock boundless energy and live pain-free lives.
This pursuit of optimal health, for both individuals and organizations, continues to drive my work till today.
What are the fundamental principles behind Acupuncture and how does it actually work?
Other than Herbal medicine, Qi Gong, and Dietary practice, Acupuncture is also a very important part of the Traditional Chinese Medicine, where the body is viewed as an interconnected system of energy, known as Qi (pronounced ‘chee’), flowing along specific pathways called meridians.
The fundamental principle behind acupuncture is the belief that when this energy (in physiques proved by a constant vibrational frequency existed in each cell of our body and essential for regeneration) flow is balanced and unobstructed, the body remains healthy.
However, blockages or imbalances in the flow of Qi can lead to pain, illness, or dysfunction.
Acupuncture works by inserting fine, different-sized, sterile needles into specific points along these meridians. These points are chosen based on their ability to influence the body’s energy flow, encouraging the restoration of balance and the free circulation of Qi.
Beyond the energetic and Chinese philosophy framework, modern scientific research has demonstrated that acupuncture stimulates the body’s nervous system, triggering the release of natural pain-relievers neurotransmitters like endorphins, improving blood circulation, and reducing inflammation.
It also modulates the Autonomic Nervous System, promoting relaxation, reducing stress and balancing the sympathetic-parasympathetic system responses.
In essence, acupuncture plays an enormous role as both a preventive and therapeutic tool. It harmonizes the body’s internal functions, addresses physical and emotional imbalances, and helps the body’s innate healing to work more effectively.
It’s an approach that not only treats existing symptoms and conditions but also promotes long-term physical and mental well-being.

Can you share a memorable success story?
One of the most memorable success stories from my practice involved a patient who had been struggling with chronic migraines for over a decade. She is a successful lawyer, very analytical mind, she had tried numerous treatments, including conventional medications, but nothing provided lasting relief. Her condition affected every aspect of her life—her work, her family, and her emotional well-being.
When she had a consultation with me, she had a very sceptical lawyer state of mind, she was feeling hopeless, with her migraines occurring almost daily. I immediately knew that her case would require a holistic, integrative approach. We began by conducting a detailed assessment of her physical health, posture, stress levels, emotional state, and lifestyle.#. It was clear that her condition wasn’t just a neurological issue; she was overwhelmed with all her daily professional and personal responsibilities that involved a complex interplay between her Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), emotional health, and the energy flow through her body.
I designed a tailored treatment plan that combined acupuncture, posturology, and Chinese Medicine to address both the root cause and the symptoms of her condition. Acupuncture helped regulate her Qi (energy) flow, while posturology improved her posture, relieving tension in her neck and spine. We also incorporated dietary adjustments, vitamins, herbal supplements and stress-relief techniques based on Chinese medicine principles to further support her overall well-being.
After a few weeks only, she began to experience significant changes in her mental and physical performance. The frequency and intensity of her migraines dropped dramatically. She went from having migraines almost daily to experiencing just one or two mild headaches a month. But the most profound change was in her emotional and mental state—she felt more energized, happier, and in control of her life again.
Over the course of several months, the results were absolutely remarkable. She was able to return to work full-time effortlessly, reconnect mindfully with her family, and regain her daily quality of life. Her success and like many others, reaffirmed my belief in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms, and how the integration of Eastern and Western practices can lead to profound healing.
This success story is one among many more and stays with me because it exemplifies why I do what I do. Seeing someone transform from being in constant pain to leading a fulfilling, balanced life is incredibly rewarding and highlights the power of personalized, integrative care.
