About Me

I’m a mind-body specialist in the Division of Hematology-Oncology at Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York City. I work with palliative care and psycho-oncology to design evidence-based mind-body protocols for cancer patients at all stages of care to mitigate treatment side-effects and improve clinical outcomes and quality of life.

I founded the Center for Global Health Equity and Empowerment and serve on the Board of Trustees of the Society for Integrative Oncology.

Books

• My new book Yoga Therapy Across the Cancer Care Continuum will be published in June 2022.
• I contributed the cancer section to Yoga Therapy: Foundations, Tools, Practice: A Comprehensive Textbook, published 2021.

Passion Project - Fundraiser

I have organized a fundraiser for Ukrainian children with cancer whose life-saving treatments have been disrupted by war. The beneficiary is Tabletochki, Ukraine's largest pediatric oncology charity and St Jude partner. The initiative is supported by Society for Integrative Oncology, British Society for Integrative Oncology, and International Association of Yoga Therapists.
