As an integrative medicine provider, Mishra complements traditional cancer treatments with holistic healing approaches shown to be safe and effective in everyday practice. With a focus on personalized care, she emphasizes the benefits of mind-body practices and offers practical health resources to support lifestyle changes that work with her patients' medical, radiation and surgical treatment plans.
