Lana's PicCooking Demonstration with Lana and Lana’s Parti Perfect

My childhood memories with my mom must have left a profound impact on me, because eventually, I ended up right where I started, in the kitchen. With a BSc. in Mass Communication from Boston University inPartiPerfect Logo 1996 and six years of copy writing experience at two prominent UAE Advertising agencies, I left it all behind to join the food industry. In 2002, I joined the Institute of Culinary Education; NYC’s largest and most highly acclaimed center for culinary education. If there is one thing I took away with me from the philosophy at ICE, and use it still as my secret weapon, is that you create good food from solid cooking techniques and wholesome ingredients.

It was then that she learned that this is what Doctors of Chiropractic are all about. Their holistic approach to health care put an end to her search. With a Bachelors of Science degree in Biology, from the University of Western Ontario, she was off to study Chiropractic.  She also pursued her love for nutrition and earned a certification as a clinical nutritionist.

Junior Gym LogoKids’ play  with Junior Gym

Junior Gym is a leading children gym and fitness center offering a wide range of gymnastics and interactive programs designed to enhance children’s physical fitness and mental development. Established in the heart of the capital Abu Dhabi in 2015, the innovative Emirati gym aims at promoting children’s fitness and encourages practicing healthy lifestyles.

Schools play a major role in raising and educating our children, but that is not sufficient. The diverse blends of children with different backgrounds can affect your child and lead him to acquire healthy or even corrupted practices. While at school, most of the students don’t have enough time to carry out sports and fitness activities where such activities are deemed essential for proper physical and mental growth. Similarly, parents might get overloaded with their daily burdens allowing less time for their children to play and practice sports and entertaining activities.

Utilizing Emirati vision and global expertise, Junior Gym takes over this mission to offer the UAE a leading fitness center allowing children to discover their talents while shaping their little bodies.                      Junior Gym is equipped with a vast collection of soft tools, gymnastics equipment and flooring that meet the highest international standards. Our dedicated fitness trainers are backed by international experience which helps to create a safe and trusted environment that strictly adopts related health and safety policies.

Parents may rest assured knowing that their children are in safe hands!
