Personal Story

When I was 19, I dropped out of pharmacy school. I was interning in a pharmacy, staring at the clock every 5 minutes, hopeful that my time to leave was approaching. This is when I knew that was not the career for me: to be stuck behind a counter having little to no interaction with patients and not really making much of a difference in anyone's life. The next day, I barged in on my academic advisor, in tears, with no real clue what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.

Since I was a little girl, I have always had a game plan. Always knew what my next move was, how I was going to get there... so not having that vision or goal to set my eyes on and strive for shook me to my core. Shortly after a vast amount of due diligence, I realized that there was a career that was perfect for me. Becoming a chiropractor is the best thing I ever did for myself.

Growing up, my grandparents played a huge role in raising me while my parents were busy building their own company. I heard all the stories about the struggles of coming to America with a large family, building a new life in a new country and leaving a country lifestyle behind for the hustle of New York.

My grandfather, Lachan Singh was and will always be my biggest inspiration and motivation for everything I accomplish during my lifetime. He was my sounding board, one of very few people that could calm me down when I feel overwhelmed and I miss him everyday so much. He was the first person I would call after doing well on an exam, getting into any program, passing board exams or getting a new job. All I've ever wanted til this day is to make him proud and let his legacy he created for all of us to live on forever.

It's not easy starting a business as a woman in Manhattan. What does come easy is turning what motivates you the most into your brand. I built Sinar Treatments, a luxury, integrated medical practice in NYC to let my two grandfather's legacies live on forever.

SINAR: The fusion of Singh and Narain, the last names of two amazing men whose names will live on through all of the patient's lives that are impacted, treated, and elevated by Sinar Treatments.

“I live by: health is wealth. How we show up to life determines what we get back. This especially goes well into optimizing both physical and mental states to optimize our operating system.”
