Welcome to another incredible episode of Ceremony Circle with your host, shaman, and bestselling author of Animal Power Book and Card Deck, Alyson Charles. Today, we embark on a unique voyage with our special guest, Dr. Nisha Khanna, a board-certified MD who has been practicing medicine since 2005. With a powerful blend of Eastern and Western medicine, Dr. Nisha creates customized health solutions that produce transformative results.
Having studied Ayurveda under Dr. Vasant Lad, functional medicine, mind-body therapies, and energy healing, Dr. Nisha's multidisciplinary approach bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and modern practices. Join us as we discuss her incredible journey, her childhood experiences, and how her parents influenced her life and work.
In this episode, I share my first-ever experience with Dr. Nisha's Marma therapy, which included frequency affirmations, sound healing, and even a visit from her dog from the spiritual realms. Prepare to be moved by Dr. Nisha's beautiful medicinal poetry and dive into the hidden ancient secret of Marma therapy.
