Dr Kirran Ahmad is a medical doctor who has transitioned from nearly two decades of practice in the NHS to focus on holistic healing through movement as medicine. Specialising in anaesthesia and chronic pain, she worked on the frontlines during the COVID-19 pandemic in London and served as a doctor with Médecins Sans Frontières in South Sudan. Her dedication to exploring alternative healing modalities led her to spearhead ground-breaking research on the use of psilocybin for chronic pain at Imperial College London.
In 2024, after recognising the toll that working on the frontline of the pandemic took on her mental health, Kirran made the decision to step away from the NHS. She experienced COVID-related PTSD and felt a strong calling to explore more holistic approaches to healing, focusing on the transformative power of movement. She found deep resonance in Movement Medicine® through her first immersion with David Mooney at the Phoenix retreat, where spirituality, science and embodiment practices came together in a powerful, healing way.
Now, Kirran is passionate about supporting healthcare professionals—especially those recovering from trauma—as well as diverse patient groups, including individuals with chronic pain and mental health conditions. She is dedicated to working with marginalised communities, particularly BIPOC individuals, to promote healing through movement.
Her ethos is centered on the belief that movement is medicine, and her mission is to help others discover a deep sense of freedom, balance, and reconnection with their bodies, minds, and spirits.
