Amita Nathwani , MA (Ayur)
Amita Nathwani, is an Ayurvedic Medicine Practitioner, educator, and integrative health thought leader with over 25 years of clinical experience. She currently has a private practice where she provides patient-centered, root-cause care. Her unique ability to bridge Eastern and Western paradigms has made her a sought-after teacher and mentor in the field of Integrative Medicine. Amita is the author of three books, including titles on Ayurvedic cooking, classical medical principles, and spiritual healing, and her work has been featured in both academic and community health settings. As fellowship faculty member at the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine, Amita brings a rigorous, yet deeply intuitive understanding of Ayurveda, grounded in its classical texts and enhanced by modern clinical insight. She is especially known for her ability to communicate Ayurvedic principles using a shared medical lexicon—translating traditional concepts —while fiercely preserving the integrity, lineage, and systemic intelligence of this ancient science. Her mentorship has empowered hundreds of practitioners to integrate Ayurveda into modern clinical practice without reducing it to a set of tools, and her commitment to equity, evidence-informed care, and cultural competence continues to shape the future of integrative medicine education.
