About Me

Every healthcare professional has a journey that shapes the way they understand health and illness. Mine has been guided by one fundamental question:

Why do so many people continue to struggle even after receiving treatment?

During my medical education and later through clinical practice, I repeatedly met individuals living with persistent stress, anxiety, poor sleep, chronic pain, psychosomatic symptoms and lifestyle-related health concerns. Many had already received appropriate medical care, yet their symptoms often continued to affect their daily lives, relationships and overall well-being.

These experiences made me realize that treating a symptom alone is not always enough. Behind every symptom is a person—with a unique history, environment, lifestyle, emotional experiences, beliefs, habits and nervous-system responses. Understanding these interactions became one of the most important turning points in my professional journey.

My formal medical education began at the Ayurveda Campus, Institute of Medicine (Tribhuvan University), Kathmandu, where I completed my Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) between 2012 and 2018. This education provided me with a strong foundation in medical science, clinical diagnosis, preventive healthcare and the holistic principles of Ayurveda. More importantly, it introduced me to a way of thinking that viewed health as the result of balance rather than simply the absence of disease.

As my clinical experience grew, so did my curiosity about the relationship between the brain, nervous system, body, thoughts, emotions and lifestyle. I wanted to understand why stress could influence digestion, why chronic pain could affect mood, why emotional experiences could appear as physical symptoms, and why lifestyle often determined whether recovery was temporary or sustainable.

This search for deeper understanding eventually led me to pursue postgraduate training in Yoga Medicine at S-VYASA Deemed-to-be University, Bengaluru, India, where I completed my Doctor of Medicine (MD) in Yoga) from 2020 to 2023.

My postgraduate education significantly expanded my understanding of evidence-based Yoga Medicine, neuroscience, psychophysiology, behavioural science, therapeutic yoga and lifestyle medicine. It strengthened my appreciation that health is not the product of one system working in isolation, but the result of continuous communication between the brain, nervous system, body and daily life.

Over the years, I have come to see Mind–Body Medicine not as a separate branch of healthcare, but as a practical framework for understanding how different aspects of human health influence one another. Physical symptoms, emotional experiences, thoughts, behaviours, sleep, movement, nutrition, relationships and environment are often interconnected. When one part changes, it frequently affects the others.

This perspective gradually transformed the way I practice medicine.

Today, every consultation begins with understanding the individual before focusing on the condition. Rather than asking only "What disease does this person have?", I also ask "What factors are shaping this person's health?"

This way of thinking allows me to look beyond isolated symptoms and understand the broader patterns that influence well-being. It has become the foundation of my work in Mind–Body Regulation Consultation, Yoga Medicine, professional education, research and community health.

Alongside clinical practice, I have had the privilege of working with healthcare professionals, yoga teachers, hospitals, schools, colleges, government organizations and community groups through workshops, training programs and educational initiatives. These experiences have reinforced my belief that improving health requires more than individual treatment—it also requires education, awareness and the development of healthier communities.

This belief ultimately inspired me to establish Arogya Movement, an initiative dedicated to making evidence-based health knowledge practical, accessible and meaningful for everyone. Through consultations, research, writing, training and public health education, Arogya Movement reflects my commitment to helping individuals not only recover from illness but also build healthier and more resilient lives.

Today, whether I am consulting with a patient, teaching healthcare professionals, writing, conducting research or speaking at a workshop, my purpose remains the same:

To help people better understand the connection between the mind, body and lifestyle, and to use that understanding to build healthier, more meaningful and sustainable lives.
