Dr Shamim Daya
Dr Shamim Daya BM DRCOG completed medical training at Southampton University in 1985, followed by a further 6 years of postgraduate training in General Practice. With her Diploma in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, she has a special interest in Women's health issues.

Whilst working as a GP principal in a NHS group practice in Richmond, Surrey, between 1991-1994 she felt a strong need to add to her basic medical knowledge and experience by incorporating the field of wholistic medicine.

This strong urge to fill in so many of the missing gaps that were clearly obvious in trying to help patients within a General Practice setting, was the basis which took her onto a further 10 years of exploring some of the many evolving and exciting fields of wholistic medicine.

Her long journey began with studies in nutritional medicine, working as a medical doctor at BioLab Medical Unit between 1994-1997 as well as undertaking specialised training with Dr Jonathan Wright (USA) from whom she also learnt the art of using and prescribing of Bio-Identical natural hormones.

Thereafter, she felt the need to explore the whole area of “Food as Medicine” which inspired her to produce a video entitled “Food Therapy” as a means of helping her patients to better understand this vast and often confusing subject, yet most relevant as the basic foundation for good health.

Other courses and training undertaken by Dr Daya included further studies in the philosophy of Homeopathy, Western, Ayruvedic and Chinese Herbal Medicine. Following these basic concepts that clearly explains the underlying root cause of patients symptoms, she then went on to explore the vast field of Energetic Medicine, testing for energetic imbalances as contributory factors or explanations of many otherwise mysterious or unexplained symptoms.

Most recently Dr Daya has explored Dark Field Microscopy as another invaluable tool to mirror what is going on within the body on a microscopic cellular level.

Finally, Dr Daya undertook two training courses in Time Therapy with Manuel Schoch to provide a better and more effective way of helping her patients deal with unresolved psychological and emotional issues that are inevitably an important contributory factor to many disease states.

With this wealth of information and experience, Dr Daya is better able to understand the value of different approaches to health, helping people to plan and oversee their health programmes to ensure not too much time, money and energy is invested or lost in any one direction alone. Over these years, Dr Daya has come to realise that often, people need to tackle several different issues at the same time but don't really know where to start.

This wide range of knowledge and experience has served to broaden her skills and ability to assess patients' problems wholistically, from a broader perspective enabling Dr Daya to supervise and guide her patients through a variety of integrative treatment options.

What Dr Shamim Daya is uniquely able to offer is:
  • With her General Practice training, a medical perspective including when medical intervention is appropriate and necessary.

  • To see a patient as a “whole” being, looking to address several contributory issues and not just looking to treat their symptoms in isolation.

  • Like a detective, she looks to see if she can find an explanation for a patient’s symptoms, especially when conventional medical tests come back as “normal”.

  • The challenge of finding the common thread that lies at the root of a patient’s health problem and that links all their seemingly separate symptoms together.

Typical examples are that of being constantly tired, putting on weight despite dieting and exercising or unexplained hair loss, insomnia, night sweats, hot flushes, anxiety, poor concentration/memory, depression, arthritis, gout, stiff joints, aching muscles, digestive problems….

All of these examples are not easy to address in conventional medical practice, nevertheless, there must lay somewhere an explanation for these very genuine and debilitating symptoms which are valuable signals that the body is in need of attention at some level.

“I believe in taking responsibility for your own well being and doing the best you can. No body is perfect. It is your intention that counts. Do whatever it takes to motivate yourself not to sabotage your own natural healing process. Be proactive rather than reactive”.
