About me
Hi, I’m Momina Salim.
I support frustrated parents of children diagnosed or suspected of ADHD address underlying root causes to improve their hyperactivity, inattention and behavior issues.
I believe these children are resilient and can achieve their maximum potential if we support them in nurturing and healing their bodies.
If you are a parent that has tried medication or are on the fence about it and feel that there are other options out there to help your child, I can help your child by addressing diet, lifestyle and their underlying root causes so they can live the healthiest and brightest life.
I am a certified Pediatric Functional Medicine Health Coach.
To learn more and to end the daily struggles in your home, follow me on Instagram @mominasalimcoaching where I share educational information on helping your child with ADHD, hyperactivity, mood dysregulation and inattention.
I am passionate about helping families reverse and prevent disease and suffering by finding the root cause of their health problems.
My goal is to help my ‘little’ clients achieve their maximum health potential by addressing their lifestyle and nutritional needs as part of their healing.
MY STORY
My journey into the world of functional medicine and holistic health began in 2017 when I developed autoimmune disease and spent months and the consequent few years running from practitioner to practitioner to unravel what had really happened to me. After 14 practitioners and countless tests and prescriptions, I still felt the same if not sicker along with countless diagnoses of which autoimmune disease I had.
I had been told to resign to my diagnosis, but a voice deep inside me told me to find my own way through this and find the answers to all my struggles. Through endless days and nights of research and reading, I slowly wadded through my symptoms to find root causes that were making me so sick!
Through this journey, I knew that I had to bring this awareness and support to others that were similarly suffering. Having worked as a Public Health Community researcher focusing on pregnant women and children, I naturally gravitated to want to work with children. After all, they need an advocate most of all!
It is my hope for all parents to envision their child’s recovery.
Knowledge is power, hope is fuel.
At the end of the day, when your children are happy, healthy and THRIVING, that’s all that really matters.
I look forward to connecting with you on the road to your child’s recovery
trainings and certifications
I trained as a Functional Medicine Health Coach with Functional Medicine Coaching Academy (FMCA) as well as certified by Epidemic Answers (EA) for their pediatric health coach program. I have also completed ‘Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice (AFMCP)’with the Institute for Functional Medicine.
Additionally, I hold a MSc in Public Health Research and worked at the community, program and policy level with pregnant women and children in rural communities in Pakistan.
My most important credential, however, is being a MOM! That experience has taught me more than any course could. All my experiences combined, I am here to help you all, especially my ‘little’ clients.
I call myself a lifelong learner and my learning never ends. Whether formally, through courses and conferences, or informally, by reading, listening and research, I am on a mission to transform what I’ve learned into useful, practical solutions for parents. Knowing more about your child’s health and the possible underlying causes is the key to finding the path to recovery! I can’t wait to welcome you on board!
