Kittivisian Life is starting the New Year with health and fitness firmly on the agenda. Here we introduce Dr Miranda Fellows a doctor of Chiropractic Medicine who will be helping us to take a holistic look at our health.

Dr. Miranda Fellows, is the founder of Carib Wellness. She has dedicated her life to the implementation of natural, holistic healthcare and the optimal well being of Caribbean people in particular. The Carib Wellness program is a system of Holistic Integrated Medicine, that allows the innate healing of the human body without drugs or surgery. She holds her Doctorate in Chiropractic Medicine and is a licensed physician with a specialty in Energy Medicine. She is licensed to practice in both the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis and in the state of Michigan, U.S.A. She has her licensing Board Exams Parts I, II, and III and is a licensed Physical Therapist.

Dr. Miranda has been in private family practice in Nevis for two and a half years based at Eden-Life Centre. Eden Life Centre is the basis for the “Healthy Lifestyles” program that Nurse Edris Fellows began in 1999 and which her daughter, Dr. Miranda has now taken over. The program teaches people how to change their lifestyle to one of healthy diet, exercise and relaxation habits. Dr. Miranda is due to open a sister practice in St. Kitts in Jan 2008 to extend her Carib Wellness services to more people.

She has post-graduate certification in Applied Kinesiology, Paediatrics, Acupuncture, Sports Medicine, and Clinical Nutritional Therapy. She most recently became certified in Energy Medicine and wellness protocols.

She has a passion for helping others and is active in the role of health educator where she conducts education to the public through means of talks at churches, youth and women’s groups, on the local radio stations and sometimes co-hosting the FIT Wellness TV program. Dr. Miranda has volunteered with many organisations, giving of her skills to diverse groups from athletes to drug rehab clients. She intends to implement “Spinal Screenings” as well as a “Spinal Hygiene” program in all the schools in order to diagnose scoliosis, and prevent its sometimes disfiguring and crippling complications by early chiropractic management and to teach children about the importance of the spine as the foundation of health.

Dr. Miranda really embodies Thomas A. Edison’s quote that “The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.”

Dr. Miranda has a 3 year-old son, who was delivered at home and is a living testimony to a natural birth and lifestyle without drugs. Dr. Miranda is a tri-athlete (swimming, biking, and running) and she enjoys the outdoors and sailing.
