Associate Team
It is our mission to integrate the best of all therapeutic modalities in a safe, effective and respectful manner, with the intent to nurture natural healing and promote inner balance and well-being. Our physicians bring a multidisciplinary perspective to health and healing. Educated in conventional medicine, they discovered the power of holistic medicine and now balance the two approaches to improve your quality of life. We offer a dynamic approach to health, healing and prevention by integrating modern medicine with established holistic practices from around the world.
Our vision is to transform the way medicine is practice by:
(i) Conducting rigorous research on integrative and complementary healing practices;
(ii) Educating medical students, health professionals and the public about these practices; and
(iii) Creating new integrative models of clinical care that combine modern medicine and established healing practices emphasizing prevention, patient empowerment and whole person healing.
Whether translating science into hope or discovery into care, Anandkunj is advancing holistic health worldwide through activism, education, publications and research. A healthier future requires us to challenge preconceptions and biases about practicing good medicine.
