Dr. Harmony Mir is the creator and founder of Harmony Chiropractic & Wellness Clinic. She is devoted to creating a lifestyle of wellness through chiropractic care. Her education has given her a strong appreciation for both evidence-based practice and integrative holistic health care, while her life experiences have taught her how to listen, respect and be empathetic to others. Her goal is to teach that the pursuit of optimal health and wellness is much more than being symptom free. Although Mir always had a passion to help others, it was personal experiences that lead her to chiropractic. Gaining her Bachelors Degree in Music Performance from Acadia University, she also ran for the varsity team. Sustaining many injuries as a varsity athlete affected her ability to compete and it also hindered her as a performer. It was through the safe and natural process of chiropractic care that she was able to shine both in the race and on the stage. Serving her community and her patients is Mir’s greatest passion, as she loves seeing others succeed and live healthy lives and advocates to educating them so they may help themselves. Mir’s philosophy is shaped by her belief in wellness. This is established by increasing immunity and resistance to disease, enhancing energy and the ability to age without disability, while becoming emotionally balanced. This is the path to a healthy life.

Mir leads a team of three RMTs, two kinesiologists, one associate chiropractor and three staff. She leads by empowering them to be leaders and work as a team to help their patients succeed and thrive. With 12 years of university education, four degrees including her doctorate and eight years of clinical practice, she uses her knowledge to educate and inspire the community about health and wellness. Mir uses her strong understanding of the human systems, that she pairs with her life experiences to help people help themselves, to live the most healthy, authentic lives they can.

Mir has a passion for “at risk youth” and involves herself with her youth patients who require mentorship. Having been raised in very humble beginnings, she can relate to these kids. Showing them that anyone, no matter their race, background or social economic status, can be and do whatever they set out to do. Hard work always pays off.

Mir provides various pro-bono talks to educate health and wellness in areas such as; ergonomic talks at the hospital teaching the nurses and lab techs how to modify their stations, to students on proper back-pack safety, and how much weight is too much for their growing spines, to new moms/dads about pregnancy and to parents on how to help solve common issues with their babies and trick/remedies.

Mir is always looking to help others in the community and when she can, outside the community. She has completed six mission trips where she volunteered her time and skills in second and third-world countries to help the less fortunate.

Mir hold her Doctor of Chiropractic Degree from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) in Toronto. Prior to her doctorate, she obtained her Bachelors and Masters degree in Music Performance from Acadia University. After her chiropractic training she went on to study advance techniques for the care of Pediatric and Pregnant patients through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). Through the ICPA she became Webster certified and certified with the Academy Council of Chiropractic Pediatrics (CACCP).

Dr. Mir has received various awards, some of these include; Open Care’s Patients Choice award (2016),
