About this session

A cultural shift toward physician wellbeing begins the moment inspired individuals and their leaders make concrete choices about how care is organized, how clinicians are supported, and what the institution models from the top. That is exactly the path Rob McGregor, MD, walked as Chief Medical Officer of Akron Children’s Hospital, where he wove wellbeing into the operational fabric of the institution over a multi-year partnership with Healing Breaths. Mrinalini Meesala, MD, has done the same at Lancaster General Hospital, Penn Medicine — as Chief of Cardiology and Chair of the Wellbeing Committee — and is now leading a landmark study on the impact of SKY Breath Meditation on physician wellbeing, in partnership with Mass General Brigham at Harvard through Healing Breaths. In this session they share the practical steps, turning points, and real lessons of building a culture of wellness inside real health systems — what it takes to start it, sustain it, and make it stick.

Anyone interested in driving cultural change at the institutional level — including frontline clinicians, faculty, department chairs, wellness committee leads, CMOs, and health system leaders.

About this session

Medical training gives clinicians a deep understanding of the human body — but rarely gives them the tools to restore their own. Over time, this shows up as a slow, often invisible depletion — not from a lack of commitment, but from drawing on too few sources of energy for too long. In this session, two clinicians who have each walked this path share how they discovered and tapped into four essential sources of energy — and what changed when they did. Bindi Patel, DDS, brings the perspective of a practicing dentist who has built these practices into the rhythm of daily clinical life. Usha Peri, MD, shares how a personal wellbeing practice transforms the way you show up — for your patients, your team, and yourself. This is a session about self-renewal, not self-help.

Featured speakers

Audience

All clinicians — seeking to restore and sustain their personal energy, reduce burnout, and build a more resilient rhythm into daily clinical practice.

About this session

There is a difference between being off duty and actually recovering. Conscious rest — a trainable state of restful awareness — activates the body’s natural recovery systems in ways that passive downtime simply cannot. A growing body of research on meditative and breath-based practices points to real, measurable physiological effects — and the experience itself is often even more compelling than the data. In this session, Sari Patel, MD, co-founder of Healing Breaths, and Naveen Koneru, MS, who has brought these programs to over 50 health systems across the country, share what conscious rest actually is, what it does to the body and mind, and how clinicians can begin integrating it into even the most demanding schedules. This is not about adding something to your routine — it is about finally giving your nervous system what it has been waiting for.

Audience

All healthcare professionals — seeking to understand and experience the science of deep rest and recovery, and discover a practice they can use.

About this session

The physician-patient relationship is one of the most powerful forces in healthcare. When a clinician opens the door to a patient’s broader wellbeing — asking not just about symptoms but about stress, sleep, and the practices that restore them — something shifts. Patients feel seen. And outcomes change. In this session, three clinicians share their experience of bringing holistic wellbeing into patient care: what it looks like in practice, how patients respond, and how it has changed the way they practice medicine. Rob Feeley, MD, a double board-certified, Yale-trained psychiatrist and meditation teacher who has taught at Yale, Harvard, and MIT, has made breathwork and conscious practices an important way he supports his patients through recovery and resilience. Aarti Patel, MD, a clinical cardiac electrophysiologist and Fellow in Integrative Medicine at the Andrew Weil Center, is actively working to bring Healing Breaths programs to patient populations, bridging conventional cardiology and whole-person care. Colleen Loehr, MD, a board-certified psychiatrist trained under Jon Kabat-Zinn, Herbert Benson, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, has spent her career demonstrating what is possible when mind-body medicine is brought into clinical settings with rigor and compassion. Together, they offer a grounded vision of what it means to be a clinician who advocates for the whole person.

About this session

Real change inside large organizations doesn’t require a title — it requires intention. This session honors the people who started from wherever they were sitting and successfully brought wellbeing into their institutions: a frontline clinician who saw a need, a faculty member at an academic medical center, someone in a leadership role who chose to use it this way. None of them waited for permission. Each of them found a way. Hemant Sharma, MD, MHS, Chief of the Division of Allergy & Immunology at Children’s National Hospital and co-chair of its wellness committee, has been a pioneer in implementing SKY programs in hospitals with a research-backed approach. Krithika Kavanoor, MD, a family medicine physician and former Assistant Professor at Montefiore Medical Center’s Department of Family and Social Medicine, has become a tireless champion of these practices within her own clinical community — teaching breathwork and meditation to hundreds of clinicians and healthcare professionals as Healing Breaths faculty. Himani Rajepandhare, an HR professional at Momentum for Health and a certified meditation and breathwork teacher herself, introduced these practices to her organization’s leadership and ultimately helped establish one of the first organization-wide wellbeing partnerships for Momentum for Health with Healing Breaths — bringing the programs to hundreds of employees, with leaders still returning to sessions again and again. Sharon Siegel, DDS, a professor at Nova Southeastern University, College of Dental Medicine, brought these practices into an academic medical institution and built a sustained home for them there. In this session, the four of them share the practical playbook of championing wellbeing from within — how to build allies, frame the case to leadership, pilot change, and sustain it through the inevitable pushback.

About this session

What have we learned across five sessions about restoring clinicians, transforming organizations, and becoming better advocates for patients? And more importantly — what becomes possible when all three move together? Neeraj Kaushik, MD, Hemant Sharma, MD, MHS, and Susmita Jasty, MD, explore the integrated vision of a world of wellbeing and invite participants into the community and practices that will carry this work forward — long after the series ends. This is the moment the series becomes a movement.
