Hi! I'm Jalila!
I'm a Registered BioEnergetics Intolerance Elimination Practitioner (R.BIE) and a Certified Nutritional Practitioner (CNP, NNCP), with a diploma from The Institute of Holistic Nutrition.
My journey into holistic health began after the birth of my 2 beautiful children. As a child, I struggled with digestive issues, beginning as early as the first 6 months of my life. I found myself in and out of the hospital dealing with gut issues that were never properly diagnosed or rectified, and eventually I succumb to the fact that this was simply my genetic disposition. As I grew older, I also witnessed the continued deterioration of my mother's health due to several autoimmune diseases and learnt first hand just how critical nutrition and lifestyle choices are to one's health.
I went on to build a successful career in the corporate world, got married, and suffered another heart-wrenching blow when my husband and I struggled to get pregnant. After 7 years of fertility treatments, we were blessed with our first child, and by the grace of God, two years later we welcomed our second. It was after this journey and all the health struggles experienced personally and by loved ones around me that I decided to follow my passion and curiosity into holistic health. Having been given two precious gifts from God, I knew in my heart that I never wanted my children to suffer in the unknown like I did.
My path to healing has been a long road, and has required infinite patience, hence the name Patience Balanced Wellness. I know firsthand how hard the healing journey can be, but I'm here to help you get to the root cause of your symptoms so you can live your best balanced life, no matter what life-stage you're currently in!
