Dr. Carmichael has been practicing in the nursing field for over 25 years. She has a background in psychiatric nursing along with over 20 years of clinical experience in the pharmaceutical research industry.

Learning and practicing the ancient healing art of Ayurveda can facilitate the creation of unity within ourselves, with each other, the earth and the universe.
~ Dr. Joanna Carmichael

Her belief in the interconnectedness between physiology, psychology and spirituality and the need for conventional as well as complementary modalities provides a vast array of choices by which one may begin their journey into healing. She has been a guest on radio talk shows and writes and speaks about spirituality as it relates to health and well-being in addition to various topics on prevention and complementary medicine. She founded Kalyana Centre (formerly known as The Center For Oneness) in Ardmore, PA in 2009 where she currently practices with other holistic professionals.
