A distinguished medical professional with a career spanning over two decades across Australia, the UK, and India, Dr. Haikerwal brings a wealth of experience and insight to the discussion.
Having graduated from the prestigious AIIMS College in New Delhi and completed her physician training in London, Dr. Haikerwal has served as a General Practitioner, educator, and leader in various healthcare settings. Her dedication during the COVID-19 pandemic, where she led a Federal Government Respiratory Clinic, earned her a nomination for the Australian of the Year award on the Gold Coast in 2022.
Beyond her clinical achievements, Dr. Haikerwal is the founder of Kiran Wellness, where she integrates ancient healing practices with modern medical science. Drawing from her extensive travels to over 50 countries and her knowledge of yoga, Ayurveda, and spirituality, she offers a holistic approach to health and well-being.
In this episode, Dr. Haikerwal delves deeper into the concept of midlife as an awakening rather than a crisis. She discusses the importance of self-reflection, embracing change, and finding purpose during this transformative phase of life. Her insights serve as a gentle reminder that midlife is an opportunity to reconnect with oneself and embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment.
