I’ve always believed medicine should be about more than treating illness — it should be about creating health. As a physician, wife, and mother, I understand how easy it is to lose sight of our own well-being while navigating life’s demands. My journey to founding Qalma Health began in the fast-paced world of hospital medicine, where I quickly learned how deeply our healthcare system needs to change.

When I first began my career as a hospitalist, I was passionate about caring for patients and making an impact. But just as I was finding my rhythm, the COVID-19 pandemic hit — and everything changed.

I stood on the frontlines watching people succumb to illnesses that had been building for years, the silent result of lifestyle, stress, and chronic conditions that were never truly addressed at their root. It was heartbreaking to witness lives cut short, and even more devastating to realize how little our system prioritized prevention or early intervention. Instead, the focus was on managing symptoms — often when it was already too late.

The pace was relentless, the emotional toll immense. I poured myself into my work, but deep down, I knew there had to be a better way to care for people — one that didn’t wait until crisis struck.

In 2020, I discovered the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), and it was like a light switched on. Here was an approach that aligned with everything I believed: identifying the root causes of disease, optimizing the body’s natural capacity to heal, and empowering people to take control of their health before it slipped away. I dove into advanced training in functional medicine, and later expanded into longevity and regenerative medicine through A4M. With each step, my conviction grew—this isn’t just the future of medicine, it’s the future of true health.

Qalma Health was born from that vision. Today, I help busy, high-achieving professionals who feel unheard, burnt out, and disconnected from themselves to reclaim their vitality, balance, and joy. My work blends the best of advanced medical science with personalized, holistic care — so you’re not just surviving, you’re thriving.

Because I believe health should be intentional, elevated, and deeply transformative — a foundation for living your fullest, most extraordinary life.
