About Dr. Satya Shiva

Integrative Wellness Program & Retreat Designer
Doctor of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine · Panchakarma Specialist

Dr. Satya Shiva is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, NAMA-certified Ayurvedic practitioner, Integrative Panchakarma specialist, and meditation teacher trained in Tibetan contemplative traditions. She is the founder of Radiance Healthcare and the architect of Radiant Life Training.

With over 25 years of experience spanning clinical practice, retreat leadership, curriculum design, and contemplative education, her work focuses on building regenerative systems for how people live, heal, and belong.

Her doctoral focus was Healthy Aging and Longevity. Her dissertation examined the effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine modalities on the Endocannabinoid System and their role in modulating pain and inflammation — bridging classical Eastern medicine with contemporary neurophysiology and inflammatory science.

Dr. Satya’s clinical and educational work integrates:

• Ayurveda and Ritucharya (seasonal medicine)
• Traditional Chinese Medicine and meridian theory
• Panchakarma and structured physiological reset
• Trauma-informed nervous system regulation
• Chronobiology and circadian entrainment
• Inflammatory modulation and metabolic repair

Rather than offering isolated protocols or reactive symptom management, she specializes in designing coherent, seasonally intelligent frameworks that support long-term vitality, cognitive clarity, and meaningful participation in life.

Her work emphasizes prevention, adaptive resilience, and what she calls “embodied radiance” — a state in which metabolic health, emotional regulation, contemplative depth, and ecological belonging reinforce one another.

Through clinical care, guided cleanses, immersive retreats, and yearlong training containers, Dr. Satya applies classical healing systems in ways that are structurally sound, biologically appropriate, and practicable within ordinary modern life.

Radiance Healthcare reflects her central commitment: medicine that is integrative, regenerative, and deeply human.

Why I Founded Radiance Healthcare

“My journey toward healing has been shaped by a lifelong inquiry into the nature of true medicine; by my personal experiences with chronic illness; by the depths touched while sitting at the bedside of dying loved ones; and by 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 experiences, I came to understand that healing is not solely about overcoming illness. It is about learning to remain present through both joy and sorrow, clarity and uncertainty. True healing unfolds in the act of witnessing—meeting life as it is, with care, honesty, and a willingness to embrace both the light and the shadows of our experience.

I believe the radiance we experience in body, mind, spirit, community, and the ecosphere is our most direct connection to all that is. Radiance Healthcare was founded as a space where that connection can be restored and strengthened, and where healing is approached with integrity, gentleness, and depth.

It is my greatest honor to walk alongside those I serve, supporting a return to balance, coherence, and a sense of purpose and belonging within one’s own life.”
