As a Sikh, Desi woman raised in the American South, Tanmeet has deeply felt the pain of separation, fear, and racism and what it means to not feel safe. It is why she is dedicated to guiding patients to find healing paradigms for ease in their bodies, to healing and shifting human consciousness through integrative patient treatment, guided psychedelic medicine, and group work. Her seva, or service, to the community is also a form of service to her own healing.
