Unique Leaders: Dr. Iman Taheri

Megan speaks with Dr. Taheri about how he went from traditional medicine to helping people heal through holistic practices.

Dr. Iman was born and raised in Iran. He was born into aordinary middle eastern family. He started the medical studies when he was 17 years old in Iran. He graduated as a general surgeon and then he worked in a trauma zone. He took care of trauma patients and did many surgeries. He worked in the drug war zonesduring this time. It was an in going war. He was there for 2 years and felt discouraged and disappointed. He was there to help but he didn’t feel fulfilled. There was so many times he would do so much good and was not appreciated or wanted by families in the area.Later he moved to Dubai to practice plastic surgery. As a poet and an artist he has always been fascinated by the power of healing and how the human body heals itself. It wasn’t complicated to move to Dubai but it was difficult start in this different practice. He decided he wanted to go from giving his time and help in that way to work in a field to where he could heal/help others heal. But he quickly learned that it was too difficult to focus on the healing aspect so he decided to focus on the business side.In 2020 he went to visit his family in Toronto, Canada and with the worldly pandemic he had to stay there. From being there for that time he decided he wanted to stay. He got his papers done and he he now lives there with his family.He was not able to do his practice in Canada so he started to focus on his social media present. He put his thoughts out there, his poetry out there, and over the last few months he noticed his words have made an impact. He realized he was able to help people heal and help people with their health in a different way, a more holistic way.
