I don't even know where to begin…read more I came to see Maha a couple years ago complaining of severe bloating, abdominal pain and diarrhea. We met to go over my symptoms more carefully and potential reasons for this constant discomfort. Maha recommended food allergy testing to see if my symptoms were related to something I was eating, which made sense in my mind since it was stomach-related. So I did the test, left her office, and waited for the IgG food allergy results. Including the consultation and allergy test, I owed about $500 after our first meeting. I was so desperate I didn't even care. I am a student, clearly don't have a lot of money, but I felt it was my only option so I was willing to pay anything. A couple weeks later I received an e-mail of my results. I opened the document and was shocked. According to this report, I was basically allergic to everything: gluten, dairy, eggs and even random food like bananas! If anyone is interested I can send you my report. It is shocking. After reviewing the results on my own I returned to meet Maha. She confirmed the test results and said i should ELIMINATE all of these food that I was "highly allergic" too. I followed her recommendation (being so desperate for help from my discomfort) hoping that drastically altering my diet would provide me with some relief. Initially meeting Maha at 105 pounds (5'8) I was very slim from the constant bloating which suppressed by appetite. I followed Maha's recommendations for nearly a year hoping it would help over time. It didn't. Needless to say, I deprived myself from several food groups hoping to eliminate my symptoms but they still persisted. I never saw Maha during this year because I couldn't afford it. Months later, at 95lbs, I needed help. My family was concerned for my health because I continued to lose weight. I ended up seeing a new GP in Toronto, who told me that food allergy testing is "invalid". When I heard this, I was in shock. There I was with my 3pg report showing him all the foods that I am allergic too and he told me that this form of food allergy testing is basically "not scientifically supported". I had no idea about this, taking Maha's words that the test was valid. See other stories if interested: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health-and-fitness/tests-for-food-allergies-sensitivities-a-waste-of-money-doctor-says/article535082/ My GP told me to start reintroducing these foods, in order to help broaden my diet and help me gain back weight. He also noted something that Maha had never emphasized before, this being "the mind-body connection". To make a long story shorter, my abdominal discomfort and constant diarrhea was the result of chronic anxiety, not food allergies. Now taking Zoloft, my symptoms have subsided. I am gaining weight back and am able to participate in normal everyday activities that I used to miss out on because I was constantly ill. Maha did not inform me about the validity of food allergy testing. Being so desperate for answers, I took her word for it and literally deprived myself of essential food groups. I basically paid Maha hundred of dollars for her to misinform me, and ruin a year of my life.

I appreciated her warmth and compassion, along with her high professionalism and competency. Maha Nasr is a licensed nutritionalist. However, her medical degree from a renowned school and her experience as a physician set her apart. She stresses she is not practicing as a physician and does not prescribe medications. I highly recommend Maha Nasr and her stance that proper nutrition can turn around health conditions that pharmaceuticals fail to prevent or cure. S. Zikry, Ph.D.

The type of person in this field really does make a difference because it has to be someone you are comfortable opening up to and they have to be respectful and down to earth as well- she is all of those things. She tailors our sessions accordingly to my needs and wants which I really appreciate because then I am more invested in helping myself as well. I have noticed that our sessions dealing with my past issues with others have resolved in the sense that I no longer carry those problems in my mind and I am getting along better with these people now. I find I can "shake things off" faster with some people and I really credit this to my work with Fabiola. I was skeptical at first with hypnosis but I am really thankful that I tried it.

My sessions are usually in his home that has a very good and natural vibe. The table is setup in a perfect location to feel the warmth of the sun or the heater. There are beautiful plants that you are surrounded with along with your preferred massage music (or none of you prefer quiet). He works on problem areas, provides recommendations for stretches and will check in to see if you're ok. I'm very impressed and this has resulted in me being a repeat customer; benefits or no benefits (yup, because he is that good). P.S. He also does mobile massages that I have not experienced as I am quite close but if you can't get to him, he may come to you (no idea what his practicing areas are but give him a shout).

I just want to make a special mention to my physiotherapist (Ms. Parmar) and her assistant. Their professional attitude and knowledge about my condition helped to relay any anxiety that I may have had about my treatment and outcomes. They both always took the time to ensure that I received a thorough treatment including exercises, ultrasound and TENS treatment. (And I can't forget to mention the soothing warm packs that were always applied to the involved areas, to ensure my comfort). Loved this! I always looked forward to my treatments knowing that when I leave, I would be in better condition than when I arrived. I am a retiree from the Nursing profession and I am fully aware of the professionalism and dedication that is required from health care practitioners when treating patients in a health care setting, so all I can say is......
