About
My name is Zain Yamani, and I have been working in the healing arts for over 20 years. After receiving a degree in physical therapy, I began my career in healthcare. As I worked with patients in the hospital, I was concerned by the number of individuals who were readmitted to the hospital multiple times without regaining a higher level of health. Many of them suffered from chronic health conditions and had no recourse but to take medications that managed their pain and prolonged their life yet did little to enhance the overall quality of it. I felt that there must be a better solution but did not know what it could be. My questions began to be answered when I crossed paths with masters of the healing arts, individuals who went on to become my mentors.
Studies and qualifications
In 2001, I met Hakim Archuletta, a homeopath from New Mexico who had studied classical homeopathy in the United Kingdom and Unani medicine in the mountains of Pakistan. My conversations with him, combined with the positive results I experienced, inspired me to study homeopathy myself. So, I ventured out to the Greek islands where I was fortunate to complete a training program with George Vithoulkas, considered by many to be the foremost homeopath alive as well as the greatest contributor to its development in the past century.
Since completing my studies, I have worked with clients from a range of backgrounds, including Syrian refugees and members of the Jordanian royal family. Working with patients from around the world, I have treated a variety of ailments such as asthma, digestive issues, women’s health, psychological ailments, acute illnesses, musculoskeletal disorders, vaccine-related injuries, and first aid situations, among others.
In addition, I have received extensive training in the use of the mechanical diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders through the McKenzie Institute. I also have an interest in the role of nutrition in treating chronic pain conditions and recently completed a program in Functional Nutrition for Chronic Pain. I have found many benefits as well in the use of Thai medical massage, a form of acupressure when working with patients.
Personal
On a more personal level, I currently live in California with my wife and five children. Together, we enjoy hiking on the local trails near the beach and in the hills of Orange County. We also enjoy gardening and are in the process of converting our front lawn into a drought-resistant garden which will include pomegranate trees, my favorite fruit!
