Mind-Body-Spirit Medicine

An 8-week online training program bringing mind- body- spirit/ trauma- informed research, tools and practices into the consultation room to transform doctors and their patients.

Being a medical doctor can be really hard.

We work in an imbalanced system, seeing patients with complex problems and co-morbidities, often with inadequate time and resources.

Learning and implementing a mind-body-spirit and trauma-informed approach can fundamentally shift how we practice medicine.

This course brings perspectives, approaches and research from the worlds of somatic therapy, coaching, personal development, neuroscience, traumatic stress and childhood trauma and applies them to ourselves and our consultations.

Priyanka Wali M.D. (she/they)

I am a medical doctor board-certified in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine. I am in private practice in Southwestern United States (California, Nevada) where I incorporate both traditional and non-traditional healing practices to optimize wellness in individuals and groups. I have undergone training in Compassionate Inquiry with Gabor Mate and received training through the Polaris Insight Center in San Francisco, CA to perform ketamine assisted psychotherapy. I was also a psychedelic facilitator at the University of California at San Francisco, participating in research for psilocybin for major depressive disorder and for anxiety and depression in Parkinson's Disease. I am trained in MDMA-Assisted Therapy as part of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) Organization. I personally understand the healing power of play and have spent over a decade exploring aspects of drama therapy and using performing arts as a modality for personal healing as well as being a performing artist. I am Kashmiri-Pandit American, neurodivergent and am passionate about decolonizing healthcare.

Aisling Quiery M.D.

I am an NHS (National Health Service) general practitioner (GP) in Northern Ireland with special interests in Adverse Childhood Experiences/ childhood trauma, addictions, MindBody medicine & psychedelic medicine. I work as an out-of-hours GP and am also a Compassionate Inquiry Practitioner (Dr Gabor Maté's psychotherapeutic approach), a therapeutic health coach (working with individuals and groups) and an Honorary Clinical Research Fellow for Imperial College London's Psilopain trial (Psilocybin for fibromyalgia). I am passionate about bringing evidence-based mind-body and trauma-informed approaches to the medical model so that we can have more effective, compassionate and fulfilling consultations with our patients and bring more joy and presence into our own lives.

Outi Hilgert M.D.

I am a Finnish Medical Doctor and meditation teacher with 25 years of experience in holistic (integrative) medicine and an international background working in Finland, Germany, France, and the US. My special interest is in promoting mindfulness, meditation, stress management, self-regulation skills, emotional intelligence, body awareness skills, and somatic and spiritual healing in the prevention and treatment of mental and physical diseases. I'm especially interested in exploring the impact of Childhood Adverse Events and attachment traumas on health and disease. I am trained in Compassionate Inquiry (Dr Gabor Maté's psychotherapeutic approach) and I use it regularly in my medical consultation. I have a private practice in Helsinki, Finland, and give mindfulness meditation training and retreats.

Participating in this course has been a really wonderful experience. It was beautifully delivered by the three very experienced facilitators who themselves are doctors and so understand the current personal and systematic stresses that exist within the medical model. It has given me the starter tools to approach medicine in a more whole and integrative way. It has also taught me about myself, my belief systems, nervous system regulation , triggers and how to find healing and balance which not only benefits me but patients also. I would highly recommend this course , it is truly unique and has brought a group of doctors from around the world together to help heal themselves and so be able to better get to the core of patients problems.
