Nahid Mokhtari, PhD, Founder and Spokesperson for the Foundation for the Education of the Heart,  spent her life as a scientist, researcher and medical educator, and has over 30 years management and leadership experience. Complementary to this work, she pursued a variety of spiritual traditions to understand the origins of physical pain and the pain of loneliness that many feel, which modern and alternative science has not been able to answer. In her experience and spiritual practices, she discovered the answers exist in creative spirit within one’s own heart - that which desires to creatively play. In essence, we are infinitely creative beings with an unlimited creative power and ability which lies at the root of mind -body medicine.

For the past 15 years, she has lead numerous seminars on Shift in Consciousness – Healing the Heart, a heart centered paradigm for living to assists individuals in opening their heart to live the fullness of their beings. Her recent activities as an educator of the heart have been focused on our individual role in creating the human experience and finding the truth that lies within our own heart such that we can use our own inner wisdom to guide our life.

Dr. Mokhtari has blended the scientific and spiritual aspects of her understanding of the relationship between energy/consciousness and the bridge point where our creative life energy manifest into an experience of physical creation including pain and illnesses. She is an active spokesperson, teacher, educator, TV host producer, and has given numerous presentations, seminars and workshops in the United States and Iran.
