Dr. Satya Dakshina Shiva is an integrative health practitioner with a multifaceted healing career spanning over 25 years and specializing in Acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, Panchakarma, and Himalayan Buddhist Meditation.
Her attentive, intuitive, and integrative approach to health and wellness unites Eastern medical modalities with modern practices to promote prevention and longevity and help her patients recover and liberate their unique and natural expression of Radiant Health.
“My journey toward healing has been shaped by a deep, passionate curiosity about the essence of true medicine, my personal experiences with chronic illness, the depths touched by sitting at the bedside of dying loved ones, and the profound connections I’ve felt with patients and friends as they navigated both the beginnings and ends of everything they once knew.
Through these moments, I’ve come to understand that healing is not just about overcoming illness—it’s about learning to remain present through both the joys and the sorrows of life. True healing unfolds in the act of witnessing one another with compassion, allowing us to embrace both the light and the shadows of our experience.
I believe the radiance we experience in our own body, mind, and spirit is our truest connection to all that is. At Radiance Healthcare, I aim to create a compassionate space where you can rediscover your meaningful connection to your life force, no matter where you are on your journey. It is my honor to walk beside you, supporting you in uncovering your radiance and stepping into a life of balance, peace, and limitless potential.”
