Your Practitioner – Elly Barakah Wilde Numia

Good for you taking the initiative to find out who is treating you. The more informed you are, the more in charge of your health you are; & I strongly advocate the same for everyone you entrust with your healthcare.

My name is Elly Numia.

For those who are returning, & are not sure if they have the same person, yes I have changed my name through marriage & divorce- life lessons .

I was thankfully raised with the freedom to choose any faith or belief system I enjoyed; & I not only embraced that freedom, but thrived in exploring my spirituality!  I have always had a passion for health & wellness.  I pestered my parents with self help books & changed their diet to one of wholefoods before I was 14 years old! Even at that early age I was aware of what could be better with my own health.  Not knowing where to go after schooling, I worked in various jobs that in hindsight helped ground me for the work I love now.  The most important being my nursing career - in both Psychiatric, elderly, rehabilitation & temp nursing; all taught me how to think on the spot, put myself in others' shoes & do care plans for individuals.

Learning naturopathy just added more commonsense to my health beliefs & allowed me to immerse myself in a holistic way of living & thinking I had partially suppressed for so long.  I was always the busy person - busy studying - 9 years in total so far. Too many modalities & experiences to list them all, but here a few, that have had a big impact on my life's education so far.
