Jamiel S. Hafiz, PA-C, LAc is a medical provider, master’s-trained acupuncturist, and Clinical Director of PIM&R in Maryland.

 

Biography:

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.

.

Jamiel also had the honor of apprenticing in Ayurvedic Naturopathy with Vaidya Agam Baghel, and in 2001 Jamiel qualified in the first class of Registered Yoga Teachers in the U.S. He also holds a Master’s Degree in a more constitutional approach to acupuncture from TAI(now Maryland University of Integrative Health), and he served on the Honor Council during his PA medical education at Towson University.

.

Specially trained by Dr DV to offer gut microbiome and hormone balancing integrative medicine consultations (EIE programs), which mirrors to the approach of Classical Ayurveda for internal diseases, where 85% of diseases are known to be initiated in the digestive tract.  Jamiel combines this program with constitutional acupuncture to help with the mind and hormonal stability as the system corrects.
