Dr. Shamini Jain

Dr. Shamini Jain is an American clinical psychologist, researcher and teacher whose work brings together scientific research and spiritual practice. She studied neuroscience at Columbia University, earned her doctorate in clinical psychology through the joint programme of the University of California, San Diego and San Diego State University, and completed postdoctoral training at UCLA.

Alongside her research she trained in energy work with Rev. Rosalyn Bruyere and draws on the Jain, Vedic and Tantric traditions.
