In the landscape of trauma recovery and holistic healing, few practitioners embody the transformative power of lived experience quite like Dr Sam Mishra.

Dr. Sola Togun-Butler
Founder, CEO, Psychotherapist, & Coach
In a medical practice in Nigeria, where two doctors opened their doors to everyone regardless of their ability to pay, a young girl watched her parents rewrite the rules of healthcare. Her father, a psychiatrist, spoke openly about mental health in a society where such conversations were taboo. Her mother, a general practitioner, treated patients with dignity even when payment never came. These were not occasional acts of charity but the daily rhythm of a household where service was as natural as breathing.
