East–West Training and Lineage
Dr. Pujari earned her MD from Tufts University School of Medicine and completed her residency at Scripps Clinic and Research Institute. Her formal medical training is complemented by decades of study in Eastern healing systems. She holds a Medical Herbalist degree from the Royal College of Phytotherapy (London) and a Five-Element Acupuncture degree from the Wu Hsing School of Acupuncture.
Dr. Pujari teaches internationally on meditation, consciousness, and energy medicine, leading retreats and the Living Well Collective, a global community dedicated to re-envisioning health as a state of alignment between body, mind, spirit, and purpose.
Conscious Medicine is an emerging approach to healing that recognizes every aspect of health, physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual, as interconnected expressions of the same life force. It brings together the precision of modern medical science with the awareness and wisdom cultivated through spiritual practice.
At its core, Conscious Medicine is founded on a simple truth: the state of our consciousness directly influences the state of our health. The way we think, feel, and relate, to ourselves, others, and the world, shapes the body’s chemistry, the nervous system’s tone, and even how our genes express themselves.
