Dr. Reena Kotecha studied medicine and undertook a research degree in Neuroscience and Mental Health at Imperial College London, working for a time as a hospital doctor in the NHS. While training, she also trained in the use of Mindfulness Meditation at the British Mindfulness Institute, becoming a certified ‘Search Inside Yourself’ tutor, helping others to harness mindfulness-based emotional intelligence. Dr. Kotecha is also an international advisor to Headspace, a popular meditation app.

Dr. Kotecha is passionate about workplace wellbeing, and in 2016 developed the Mindful Medics program. This programme teaches healthcare workers how to take care of their own mental and emotional health to improve their productivity, performance, and engagement. She also works with non-healthcare organizations to help them create healthier and more supportive work environments.

More recently, Reena has launched the “Mindful in Healthcare Digital Course”, which helps clinicians to utilise mindfulness, compassion, and self-care to improve both their personal and professional lives.
