Thank you for an exceptionally effective and meaningful presentation to a large group of healthcare professionals. You provided alternatives to their automatic reactions and built thoughtful pause and reflection into their experience. Your style was light and gentle, but conveyed the importance of the topic in ways that they may not have considered for themselves. Feedback has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic. You provided interventions and perspective they needed and are now applying. The accolades from participants continue for a great presentation. Thank you – your time with us was priceless.

It was a pleasure to have Dr. Poorvi Shah speak to my cancer support group, Where HOPE Begins. She spoke on Stress Reduction Through Your Cancer Journey. Her demeanor is calm and inviting. Her knowledge on the subject is enlightening. She had us participate in a guided meditation at the end of her talk. It brought a real understanding to the subject. I am thankful to Dr. Shah, and will continue with my meditation practice along with techniques she explained to reduce stress. What a beneficial presentation for cancer patients, along with those in survivorship. -Josephine Roach, PA Breast Cancer Advocate, 3-Year Breast Cancer Survivor

My daughter's school, The College Preparatory School, Oakland invited Dr. Shah to speak to the faculty, staff, students, parents and alumni on the topic of "Stress Reduction Techniques and Integrative Medicine Tools During Pandemic Times." She was a phenomenal speaker! She was engaging and interactive for both students and parents. She spent a significant amount of time answering both general and detailed questions that the had audience posed. Parents said they took pages of notes and the lecture was even shared with students away at college. Dr. Shah inspired audience participants to start meditating using her simple techniques. She offered practical tips and tools to deal with stress and anxiety at any age. Dr. Shah would be a wonderful speaker at any event!
