“True wellness cannot exist without balance across all dimensions of being. ” – Dr Shilpi Mohan
Modern medicine has come a long way. Be it curing diseases, extending lifespans, and advancing technologies, everything is possible that once felt unimaginable. Yet, despite all these breakthroughs, something essential is still missing: a recognition that we are not just bodies with symptoms, but souls with stories. The majority of the world’s population, focusing on just the physical aspects of our being, believes that popping medicines can heal their damaged bodies.
To our surprise, we found a profile of a well-acclaimed cardiologist, Dr Shilpi Mohan, who doesn’t just excel in offering preventive cardiac care but also advocates healing beyond the physical realm. Her approach to healing her patients isn’t confined to medicines, prescriptions, or procedures. “I firmly believe that disease is a manifestation of mental and physical imbalance or disharmony. We cannot just treat a disease per se and leave the root cause unattended, be it unhappiness in life or any other issue troubling the psyche. My idea is to provide my patients with physical, spiritual, and psychic healing under one roof,” Dr Shilpi outlines.
As the founder of Ashvattha Cardiac Care in Secunderabad, Telangana, Dr. Shilpi has created more than just a clinic. She has established a sanctuary of preventive care where the heart is treated in its truest sense: as a convergence of body, mind, and spirit. As a preventive cardiologist, holistic healer, tarot reader, clairvoyant, and life coach, she has brought clinical science and spiritual truths together. This narrative sheds light on her amazing journey that comprises several uncovered aspects and the impact her ideology has had on lives.
From Cardiology Labs to Chakra Rooms
Raised in a modest household, inspired by a father who once received a national award from late President Giani Zail Singh, Dr. Shilpi’s early life was stitched together with the threads of discipline, brilliance, and boundless ambition. She cleared both pre-medical and pre-engineering entrance exams in her first attempt— an early indicator of her multidimensional mind. Yet it was the language of healing that truly called her. “Since childhood, I was deeply drawn to becoming a doctor—I would immerse myself in books, preparing for medical entrance exams with unwavering focus. At the same time, I found myself fascinated by astrology, often turning to it for career guidance and deeper self-understanding,” Dr Shilpi on how she was drawn to various spiritual sciences.
Dr. Mohan’s journey is as extraordinary as her philosophy. Coming from a humble background and marrying a serving army officer, her life has been one of movement, adaptation, and unshakable dedication. Her career spans from the remote landscapes of Jammu and Kashmir to India’s premier medical centers in Delhi NCR and Hyderabad. After completing her MBBS and MD in Medicine from Government Medical College, Jabalpur, and specializing in cardiology at the esteemed Army Hospital Research and Referral, New Delhi, Dr. Shilpi’s path looked like that of a textbook success story.
But then, her compass pointed elsewhere, a direction that was deeper and introspective. Her personal and professional journey has been one of resilience: frequent relocations as the wife of a serving army officer, years of long-distance marriage, and the delicate balance of raising two children while pursuing excellence in medicine.
Each hardship, she says, was a lesson in detachment and determination—qualities that would later anchor her unconventional path. Initially drawn to interventional cardiology, Dr. Mohan secured a prestigious fellowship at the Narayana Hrudayalaya in Bengaluru. However, it was in preventive cardiology and holistic healing that she found her true calling. This shift wasn’t a compromise—it was a conscious decision to move from procedures to people, from treating diseases to transforming lives
Ashvattha as a New Paradigm in Cardiac Care
Steering the wheel of Ashvattha Cardiac Care, Dr Shilpi has made sure that patients are not treated as cases. The mantra that drives her values is ‘anamayam niramayah’, which means, “may all be blessed with well-being and be free from illness and suffering”. She endeavors to create an environment where individuals can effortlessly navigate emotional, mental, and spiritual challenges. Her establishment offers a unique blend of non-invasive cardiac assessments, yoga guidance, chakra analysis, tarot reading, crystal healing, and psychic therapy, all under one roof.
“We are made of body, mind, and soul. Healing must encompass all three,” Dr. Shilpi states. She has an unapologetic and unique approach to healing people, which has a profound effect. Her leadership provides a transformative care model that merges ancient healing wisdom with evidence-based medicine. This model has resonated with innumerable people who hitherto were unable to find peace and wellbeing due to blind adherence to conventional systems.
A Case Where Science and Spirit were Healed Together
Among the many lives Dr. Shilpi Mohan has touched, one particular case stands out, which serves as a powerful testament to how the fusion of modern medicine and spiritual science can not only heal but transform lives. A well-known CEO of a prominent institution once walked into her clinic complaining of a sharp, persistent pain in his left arm. Given the gravity of cardiac symptoms, Dr. Shilpi promptly conducted a thorough evaluation and prescribed medication necessary to manage his condition. However, as the consultation was about to conclude, the CEO made an unusual request: “Can I have a tarot session with you as well?” What unfolded over the next two and a half hours of the tarot session was not just a reading but a life-altering revelation.
Through her tarot and intuitive analysis, Dr. Shilpi uncovered layers of suppressed emotion, deep-seated fears, and chronic stress that the CEO had been silently carrying. Listening to her analysis in utter shock, he accepted that the revelations were true and confessed about his dependence on sleeping pills, due to his inability to quieten his mind at night, despite deep physical exhaustion.
With her signature blend of medical insight and holistic care, Dr. Shilpi recommended a personalized wellness regimen that included a perfect blend of healing crystals, energy-cleansing rituals, and spiritual affirmations designed to release emotional blockages and restore balance. It was more than advice; it was a roadmap to inner peace. Today, that same CEO no longer requires sleep medication. He continues to work with Dr. Shilpi not just as a patient, but as a mentee! Under her guidance as a wellness coach, his life has regained clarity, restfulness, and deeper emotional presence.
Dr. Shilpi mentions, “Medications may treat the body, but spiritual science can heal the soul. Together, they can elevate the quality of human life in ways we’ve only begun to understand.”
A Healer, Not Just a Doctor
“For me, my work is not a business. It is a passion that is driving me ahead. Its sole purpose is to bring a positive change in the lives of all those whom I come across in whichever way possible. I am just a healer and a conduit between the Ultimate Healer and the Healed. I am just a medium that acts to manifest wishes into reality,” Dr. Shilpi insists. She never considers the label of being a “doctor” suitable for what she strives to create. Her philosophy stands for something fundamental and impact-driven. The humility in her persona is her habit, not just a reflection of her ethics. She doesn’t focus on foot traffic or stats. Transformation is her true currency.
Her approach to healing patients is not only confined to a medical approach but also includes clarity, balance, and regeneration with the help of her in-clinic sessions and online platform, www.theangelhealing.com. Even amidst the pandemic’s nationwide lockdown, her virtual meetings with patients proved as lifesaving sessions. Dr Shilpi doesn’t perceive herself as a cardiologist. She believes that her purpose in life is for a higher level of healing, where she aims to bridge the gap between scientific facts and spiritual insight. For her, every patient is part of the extended “Ashvattha Family.” Many have stayed with her for decades, finding not only treatment but counsel, clarity, and calm.
Pioneering Against the Odds
Establishment of the Ashvattha Cardiac Care Clinic was not an easy task; a major limiting factor being the backing of traditional investors who questioned the overall profitability of investing in a spiritual-medical center. However, despite this early setback, Dr. Mohan went ahead with tenacity and dedication. Her invincible resolve came from a deep realization: “Life is too short for regrets. Embrace change and break free from traditional roles.”
Her bold step to single-handedly kickstart her entrepreneurial venture helped her in creating a ground-level impact and becoming not only an esteemed cardiologist but also a widely followed wellness influencer. It won’t be an exaggeration to say that her journey is a true reflection of grit, determination, and perseverance. Each of these qualities she possesses in abundance has the potential to inspire countless aspiring women entrepreneurs across many fields.
Wellness as a National Movement
Beyond her clinic, Dr. Mohan envisions a broader movement where India reclaims its legacy of holistic health and positions wellness as a pillar of economic and social development. Her mission is to foster a shift from “illness to wellness” and from “I to We,” nudging both individuals and institutions toward a more collective, collaborative and compassionate approach to health. To turn her vision into reality, she has made significant efforts towards keeping herself updated with modern medical advancements while also studying ancient wisdom. In this journey,
she continuously evolves in her practice to meet the needs of a world in transition. Her impact is not defined by accolades or public recognition, though they have definitely been showered on her in ample quantities. For Dr. Shilpi Mohan, true impact lies not in titles but in the transformation she brings to the lives she touches. While honors and awards serve as acknowledgments of her accomplishments, to her, they are merely cosmetic embellishments of a much deeper and purpose-driven path.
Among the recognitions she has received are the “Most Prominent Cardiologist of the Year 2019 – Secunderabad”, the “Enterprise Woman of the Year 2022 – Health & Wellness”, and the “Most Promising Holistic Healer 2023” by Zee Health. She has graced many esteemed national and international platforms as a guest speaker, sharing her unique perspective on holistic healing and preventive cardiology. The above notwithstanding, for Dr. Shilpi Mohan, each milestone is simply a marker along the longer path, a greater mission, to heal, uplift, and empower the lives and souls she touches.
The Heart of a Visionary
The real impact of Ashvattha Cardiac Care is a quiet revolution that has slowly but surely attracted global attention. It is a living testament to the belief that healing is as much about science as it is about the soul. As one of the Top 10 Women Cardiologists in India, Dr. Shilpi Mohan is not just breaking glass ceilings, but also reshaping the very structures beneath them. Through Ashvattha, she invites us to reimagine healthcare not as a system, but as a sacred space—where every heartbeat is honored, and every soul is heard.
Words That Stir the Spirit
“Never let the challenges that come your way be an excuse for your failure or for not pursuing your dreams. Life is too short to be lived with regrets. Keep moving and shed off type-casted roles. I personally follow the mantra of “Ikigai”. A path is made where footsteps are left and seen. I do not dream Big or Small. I just dream big or small. I just daydream and try to turn my dreams into reality. My way of life may seem weird or rather unconventional for people who see things differently from me. It is their perception but this is mine. It is my life to live and fulfill my life’s purpose – I aim to make a positive difference in the lives of all those whom I come across – You included!”
