Dr. Mustafa Abboud

Dr Mustafa Abboud, originally from Clare, NS, completed his MD at Sherbrooke University in Quebec. After his medical training, he was passionate about surgery and pursued a residency training in ENT.

During his residency, he pushed through the intense surgical environment with grit and determination, but ultimately burned out. Taking time off, he turned to meditation and introspection, uncovering the body’s innate ability to heal. This journey ignited a profound Kundalini awakening — a powerful process of emotional upheaval and physical transformation, revealing the deep link between repressed emotions and chronic symptoms. Through his own healing — from migraines to burnout — he realized Western medicine often overlooks this mind-body connection. Reinvigorated, he found new purpose: to help others heal by integrating emotional awareness, balanced living, and scientific insight.

Mustafa completed training in Family Medicine, then expanded his approach to include more holistic and mind-body healing methods. He studied mindfulness-based pain management, trained in trauma-healing therapies like EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS), and learned how psychedelic-assisted therapy can support deep emotional healing. He even spent time in Ecuador practicing compassionate clowning with Patch Adams, bringing joy and connection to those in need. Through these experiences, he blends medical knowledge with a deeper understanding of healing, helping people reconnect with themselves in a more meaningful way.

Dr Abboud is helping patients explore a more integrative approach to mental health. He helps clients going through spiritual crises, as well as those wanting to gain emotional awareness and resilience. He offers 1:1 mind-body support, group meditations, EMDR, IFS-informed therapy, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy (ketamine and psilocybin), and applications through the SAP process for psilocybin.
