Integrative & Holistic Physician
Multiple Pathways to Balance, Prevention, and Vibrant Living
Parmela Sawhney, MD, is an integrative holistic physician with over 40 years of experience in family practice and whole-person care. She earned her medical degree from the University of California, San Francisco in 1977 and completed her residency in Family Practice. Over the decades, she has continued advanced training to thoughtfully integrate Western medicine with holistic and preventive approaches that support the body, mind, and spirit.
Her training includes a Diploma in Clinical Homeopathy, Diplomate status with the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine, a Diploma in Ayurvedic Sciences, and membership in the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine.
Dr. Sawhney believes that health is not one-size-fits-all. Rather than focusing only on illness, her work emphasizes balance, prevention, and helping individuals remain healthy, thriving, and resilient. She draws upon both modern medicine and integrative wisdom, including Ayurveda, energy medicine, and emerging longevity science, to support each person's unique body type and life journey.
Her integrative evaluations may include medical and lifestyle review, emotional well-being, energy balance, and muscle testing to help identify root causes and support physical and emotional alignment. Services may also include homeopathy, EFT (tapping), electrical auricular acupuncture, and gentle restorative therapies such as infrared sauna and red light therapy for relaxation and healing.
For those interested in longevity and optimal aging, Dr. Sawhney also offers NAD testing, oral NAD supplementation, and guidance informed by current biohacking and natural medicine research.
Her philosophy is simple and enduring: there are multiple pathways to healing, balance, and staying well.

Our Philosophy
Where Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Technology
At Amaya Wellness Spa, ancient wisdom is blended with modern biohacking technologies. Ayurveda: a 5000 year old system focused on prevention, balance and wellness. Dr Sawhney has a strong belief that there are multiple ways for healing and prevention. Along with family practice, this includes ayurveda, homeopathy, energy medicine and biohacking techniques. She has learned that nature has provided us with the tools for well being which led her to the ancient wisdom of ayurveda. Her curiosity in longevity led her to seek biohacking techniques to optimize the body's systems.
