Hiral Patel, OTR/L
(she/her)
Somatic Occupational Therapist
Psychedelic Integration Practitioner

Hiral (she/her/hers) is a first generation American-Asian Indian heterosexual woman born and raised in Dallas, TX. She moved to Austin, TX in 2014 at the start of her occupational therapy career. Prior to her career and settling down in Austin, she was on the path to become a pharmacist. Alongside her studies, she realized she was more passionate about helping others achieve their mental, physical, spiritual and emotional health-related goals from a more holistic, somatic and wholesome angle following her own cancer health journey.

While healing through her own cancer diagnosis and treatments, Hiral encountered and has worked with many holistic modalities, healers, Shamanic teachers and mentors to guide and spark self-investigation of her own core trauma and patterning which played a big role in manifestation of the cancer signs/symptoms in her physical body at a young age. While working as an occupational therapist over the past decade, Hiral has recognized the importance of how the physical body stores unresolved trauma and that healing the root cause of an illness is vital and truly has the potential for whole body, mind, soul and spirit transformation.

Hiral’s approach with her patients and clients centers around compassion, curiosity, meaningful, heart-centered and intuitive guidance to help reveal to them their own inner healing wisdom and motivation to not only get stronger in the physical body, but also understand the mental component of taking courageous responsibility to make changes that will create lifelong balance and mental peace and stability. She weaves in her personal yogic and Ayurvedic practices/routines along with her occupational therapy and coaching background experience to tailor client and patient-centered outcomes.

Hiral comes from an Indian immigrant family background, where her Indian roots thrive on ancient Vedic practices and Hinduism. Growing up in a bicultural family with differing views, Hiral was propelled to pave her own path of self-examination to attain individualized core values and beliefs centered around true peace and happiness through relationship to spirituality and God. Hiral works to integrate and bridge Eastern and Western medical models not only in her personal life but also within her professional and clinical practices and roles.
