In this episode of The Informed Chiropractor, Dr. Ali talks about how her passion for helping children and families shaped her journey into chiropractic care. Inspired by her mother’s life-changing experience with chiropractic, Dr. Ali decided to create that same kind of impact for others.
She shares how her early love for working with kids led her to focus on pediatric care. After graduating from Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, she opened her Family Health Chiropractic & Wellness practice. She earned additional pediatrics and pregnancy care training through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA).
Dr. Ali also reflects on her experience with the 90-day mentoring program, The Macdonald Safety Corridor Program which she credits as a major turning point for her practice. It gave her the tools to break records and take her business to new levels, all while staying true to her purpose.
