JAMIEL S. HAFIZ

PA-C, LAc
LAc is director of the Columbia, MD branch of CCIMHealth.
He has been specially trained by Dr DV to offer gut microbiome and hormone balancing integrative medicine consultations, along with home-health internal medicine consultations. A musculoskeletal medicine specialist, Jamiel offers the following services in addition to medical consultation:

• Prolotherapy
• Prolozone
• PRP
• Acupuncture
• Osteopathic bodywork treatments

He began in 1994 practicing Neuromuscular therapy and shiatsu and then apprenticed with Trigger Point and Feldenkrais therapists. At the University of New Mexico School of Medicine, he gained proficiency in a broad range of manual and movement-based treatment techniques, including spinal manipulation, while training alongside Osteopathic physicians.
Recognizing some extremely useful therapeutic traditions were missing from modern medicine, Jamiel found a sophisticated medical system in Ayurveda, classical East Indian medicine, which has significant underpinnings found in modern medicine and surgery. A graduate of the Ayurvedic Institute under Dr Vasant Lad, Jamiel also learned to utilize a wider variety of naturopathic treatments, for a wider variety of conditions, as a Ayurvedic Panchakarma Technician while at Maharishi International University.

At CCIM Elaina is creating opportunities for others to join her in celebrating life and to finally recognize that their fullest potential is infinite. She says, “When we realize that our light burns to the fullest infinite possibility are when we begin to expand and heal from the inside out. This is what the world needs to heal; it starts within the self, in which each person recognizes goodness and kindness radiating from his/her own heart. Self-Love creates a spillover effect, and as a consequence, the world benefits. When we smile from our authentic hearts, we heal together as a group.”
