As a mom

I have experienced first-hand many of the challenges I teach about. When I had my first baby I was already a board-certified pediatrician so I thought I was fully prepared to be a mom. Unfortunately for me, being a pediatrician is very different from being a mom. My son refused to breastfeed, had colic, refused to sleep and also had a cow’s milk intolerance.

My husband was at work most of the time, we were far away from family and I was also suffering from undiagnosed postpartum depression; I felt alone and helpless. I really needed a mentor but could not find one.

As a result of these personal experiences as well as my work with many moms and dads over the last 30+ years I am very passionate about providing you with reliable information and practical guidance you can easily use to be the conscious, confident parents you want to be as you enjoy raising holistically healthy children.

كأم بكرية، عانيتُ من الكثير من التحديات التي أعلم واكتب عنها. فعند ولادة مولودي البكر كنتُ قد أتممت البورد الأمريكي في طب الأطفال واعتقدت أنني مستعدةٌ تماماً للأمومة. للأسف كان هذا الاعتقاد خاطئ. فقد رفض ابني (كامل) أن يرضع مني، وكان لديه تحسس من الحليب الصناعي، وكان يرفض النوم ثم أصيب بالمغص. أحسست بأنني أم “فاشلة” ثم أصِبتُ باكتئاب ما بعد الولادة. أحسست بوحدةٍ كبيرة وبعجزي بالرغم من كل تعليمي وتدريبي.

After your baby is born

you go through so many changes yourself as you try to keep up with the constant demands of your newborn and your busy life that it can get overwhelming The often-conflicting information you get from ‘Dr. Google’, your friends and family make it especially so.

You may feel tired, confused with all the advice and information that comes at you from all directions

بعد ولادة الطفل من الطبيعي أن تمري بفترة من التغييرات الهائلة في جسدك ونفسيتك في نفس الوقت الذي تقومين به بكل المسؤوليات الجديدة والطلبات اللامتناهية من مولودك الجديد. غالباً ما تكون المعلومات التي تجدينها على دكتور جوجل والنصائح التي تأتيكِ من الأهل والأصدقاء محيِّرة أو متناقضة! هدفي هو تزويدك بالمعلومات العلمية والمهارات العملية التي تقوّيكِ وتمكّنك من اتخاذ القرارات الصحيحة والمناسبة لطفلك الفريد ولعائلتك.

I want you to feel seen, heard, understood, empowered, and not as helpless and left out as I felt many years ago.

A little more about me

I am Dr. Linda Abujaber, your guide to confidently raising holistically healthy and happy children and to enjoy yourself while doing this.

Here you will find expert, tried and true evidence-based information, tips and skills to help you make your health and parenting decisions confidently.

I am American Board certified in General Pediatrics, in Pediatric Infectious Diseases and in Holistic and Integrative medicine. I also have the Jordanian Board in general pediatrics.

Growing up with two cultures and two languages has given me a unique understanding and perspective on health and parenting which I strive to bring into my courses and books in both English and in Arabic. I returned to Jordan because I believe that Arab mothers deserve to have reliable, evidence-based resources in both Arabic and English that speak to our specific and unique issues.

I have been a pediatrician for over 30 years during which I have guided (and learned) from thousands of parents just like you.

I am the proud mom of two grown-up children who have taught me a lot over the years.

أنا حاصلة على البورد الأمريكي في طب الأطفال، والبورد الأمريكي في الأمراض المعدية عند الأطفال، والبورد الأمريكي في الصحة المتكاملة والشاملة.

اشعر بأن تربيتي بين ثقافتين ولغتين مختلفين اعطتني القدرة على فهم الأمور والتعامل معها بشكل يراعي الاختلافات الموجودة بين مفاهيمنا الشرقية والمفاهيم الغربية.

مارست طب الأطفال الشامل والمتكامل لأكثر من ٣٥ عام خلالها كان لي الشرف بأن أدعم وأقوي صحة الأطفال وأهاليهم وأربي ابنائي كامل ونور الذين ايضاً علماني الكثير.

I am also certified in:

Clinical Homeopathy from the CEDH
Acupuncture from UCLA (University of California Los Angeles)
Chinese herbal medicine from the University of Chicago
Pediatric Hypnosis from the University of Minnesota
Trauma informed pediatric care
Grief Recovery
A Strong foundation in nutrition and its role in health and wellness

I love empowering parents as a Holistic and Integrative Pediatrician, and health and parenting coach; conscious, empowered parents raise healthy, happy, resilient children!

For expectant and new fathers,

I have written “The SuperDad Formula” so dads can feel empowered to confidently be actively and consciously involved in raising their children. The book also includes skills and tools dads can use to create healthy relationships with themselves and their partners.

لقد كتبت كتاب (سوبرداد فورميولا) لتقوية الآباء وتشجيعهم على الاشتراك بتربية أطفالهم من أول اللحظات، ذلك لأن اشتراك الأب بتربية طفله مثبتٌ علمياً أنه يقوي ويزيد صحة اطفاله الجسدية والعاطفية والنفسية والاجتماعية.

I have also written

A series of books in English & Arabic about

Maintaining health and wellness and managing challenges naturally during each trimester of pregnancy including the fourth trimester (the three months after your precious baby is born).

Breastfeeding and managing it’s common challenges.

Healthy nutrition and its common challenges for the first 3 years of your child’s life

Raising and parenting healthy, happy, resilient toddlers.

Building healthy relationships with your partner because a healthy, happy relationship between the parents is one of the foundations for raising healthy, happy kids and to protect them against anxiety and even bullying later on.

A short handbook “Treating Your Child’s Allergies Naturally” for parents looking for natural ways to support their kids in overcoming allergies.

And am editing my latest book “Treating Anxiety in Children Naturally” to empower parents with children with anxiety with all the tools they need to support their kids and themselves in natural and powerful ways especially with the huge increase in anxiety and depression in our children post COVID.

رعاية وتربية الأطفال بوعي وثقة هي رحلة لها عدة خطوات، لتمكينكم وزيادة ثقتكم قمت بكتابة عدة كتب عن الحمل الواعي وكل ما يتعلق برعاية وتربية الأطفال من الولادة وحتى عمر 3 سنوات.
