About Elham’s Cottage
Holistic Skincare & Wellness Spa

In my practice I am committed to bringing out authentic beauty through a combination of holistic healing methods and aesthetic techniques, achieving a balance of internal and external happiness... body, mind, and soul.

My educational background is in the medical field.

In 1990 I completed a bachelor degree in Medical Science. I subsequently worked as a radiology technologist for five years. Soon enough, I came to realize that my decision to work in the medical field stemmed from my inner desire to care for others and not so much from an interest in operating medical machines.

A single question on the power of healing had haunted me during all of those years.

It was a question that speaks to the essence of each medical case in particular and our well-being in general: What are the ingredients for such divine power? Needless to say, this question has changed my life forever.

In searching for answers, I have rediscovered the richness of my Egyptian heritage.

My treatments recognize the 5 elements – earth, air, water, fire and space – and use exotic Essential Oils to help your body's natural healing process. Through my practice of helping people heal, I have found an everlasting inner-happiness in a meaningful profession.
