What's your business, and who are your customers?
Dr Elsa Wagdy is a leading Psychotherapist, Psychologist, Integrative MD (I-MD), Dr. of Natural Medicine (DNM), Epigeneticist, Psychoneuroimmunologist and neuroscientist. She specializes in healing autoimmune, chronic, inflammatory, terminal and psychological diseases using western medicine, eastern medicine, herbal medicine, and orthomolecular medicine, utilizing unique techniques based on quantum physics principles to heal the mind and body with expedited results simultaneously.
Tell us about yourself
Dr Elsa suffered many chronic and psychological diseases in her young life, including IBS, Crohn's, Cancer, tumours, ulcers, heart attack, stroke, and various psychological issues. Her childhood and young adult life were filled with turmoil and abuse. No western medical practices could heal her but instead suppressed symptoms with various pharmaceuticals. She left the western medical field to learn and train under the guidance of eastern medical practitioners and yogis, monks, shamans, and other healers, learning various modalities that led her to seek a PhD, Doctorate, Master's, bachelor's, and several certifications in quantum physics, natural medicine, herbology, orthomolecular medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, energy medicine, and many other unorthodox healing approaches. She healed herself from ALL her diseases of both mind and body, finding peace and joy, which propelled her into opening a private practice to reach anyone who feels like they are not heard by the western medical fields and those who want to find a better approach to heal and live peaceful, joyful lives. She has helped countless souls over her twenty years from various ailments, including chronic pain, MS, Parkinson's, Dementia, Stroke, Cancers, Bipolar, Schizophrenia and much more.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishments reside in my sincere gratitude for being able to help others heal and find peace in their lives and have overall health. Watching people who are finally disease-free after negative prognosis from others brings me extreme peace and feelings of overwhelming glee.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
The most difficult aspect of being a private practice owner is simply attempting to reach a larger audience and explaining what makes your practice different and why this may be a better alternative for healing.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Here are some tips for starting your own practice:
- Be persistent, consistent, and have patience.
- Reach out to your networks and discuss your practice.
- Hire someone to help with marketing or take classes.
- Do not give up, and you will succeed.
- Invest in yourself and continue to grow.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Please know that no matter what is happening in your life or in your health, you have the power to heal and live peacefully and joyfully with the proper tools. You are never alone. It takes courage to seek assistance. Nothing is unhealable if you are ready and committed to doing the work required. Western medicine is a blessing for emergency cases but not for chronic and psychological health. Do not drug yourself with pharmaceuticals. They do not heal anything; they only suppress and create lingering and more dangerous issues.
