Soulfulness
Dr. Cyma is a Boston based Physician born in a rural village of Pakistan where educating women is rare. She became the first woman in her Pahari Pothwaris clan of 3.8 million to attain a Post Doctorate fellowship from Harvard Medical School. A natural born healer and empathetic clinician, she wants to elevate humanity through Soulfulness. Her past experiences include:
- 15 years as a practicing Physician
- Harvard Medical School Post Doctorate Fellowship
- Board Certified in Internal Medicine & Obesity
- Creator & Anchor of Healthcare Show in Pakistan reaching 143 Million viewers on National Television for 4 seasons
- National Science Gold Medal Award Winner in Hepatology
As a catalyst for transformational change, Dr. Cyma intends to change the world one Soul at a time.
The unsustainable rising costs of healthcare continue to put pressure on humanity’s future generations as the world's population swells. Soulfulness Centers solve the healthcare problem by introducing a new-age clinic that transforms healthcare by converging both traditional and new practices of medicine to elevate humanity and optimize preventive healthcare.
We are proposing to build a new approach that can transform healthcare forever by focusing on Metaphysical Connectivity to your Indigenous Roots through the 5 pillars of Soulfulness:
Dietary Improvements & Intermittent Fasting
Exercise & Meditation
Poetry, Music, & Dance
Philanthropy & Love
Family, Friends, Expeditions, & Retreats
We want to heal the world, one soul at a time through self-awareness. Our project could elevate humanity by help reduce high healthcare costs, help the uninsured, and create a sustainable healthcare system.
The problem of rising healthcare costs due to a growing population, aging seniors, disease prevalence, medical service utilization, and service prices are causing many people to go untreated.
I work in Portsmouth Regional Hospital in New Hampshire on a daily basis treating the local community and I see many people are afraid to seek healthcare due to rising costs, or are unable to get the treatment necessary to get their life back on track, or many younger generations that are uninsured completely avoid the healthcare system causing a complete lapse in good judgement.
27 Million Americans are currently uninsured and possibly millions more coming after COVID-19 impacts on unemployment and healthcare affordability tied to their employers healthcare plans. Many more Americans are affected by this daily adding stress to their lives, causing a rise in auto-immune diseases, or drug overdoses, and other psychological issues that I treat on a daily basis as a Hospitalist.
Soulfulness is a simple approach to preventive healthcare. It takes the best parts of eastern medicine, and the best parts of western medicine and combines them into a soulful and affordable solution.
Soulfulness is a technique that applies the 5 pillars to fight off disease and help you stay healthy physically and emotionally.
The uninsured and underserved community who can't afford healthcare, or who have tried expensive treatments with no success and the larger healthcare system are unable to solve their problem.
I have been working closely with such people for many years to understand their needs by providing them as much free time and advise to seek improved healthcare and home remedies to battle their issues once they confess to me that they can't afford healthcare.
I am looking to survey uninsured my local community and eventually all of uninsured Americans to understand how Soulfulness can address their needs specifically on how they would like to engage whether it's virtually or in person.
- Elevating issues and their projects by building awareness and driving action to solve the most difficult problems of our world
By building awareness around the healthcare problem we can unite a community of likeminded individuals to transform and improve healthcare.
Destined to be a village girl denounced of her birth right to education and henceforth to earn a livelihood in an ultra conservative society in a rural village in Pakistan. I somehow found great educators and mentors who said I was talented enough to heal the world.
This project originally began 10 years ago when I arrived to Boston from Pakistan to start my journey to leverage my healing and clinical skills to this great country.
I re-engaged with the project a year ago when I met my husband who continues to inspire me to pursue my dreams.
I am passionate about this project because it takes into consideration many aspects of my spiritualist, revolutionist, and healer principles, which are all 3 principles I admire most about myself.
The specific problem is really important to me because people don't understand how important a wholistic approach to medicine is the key to a successful society.
I have always wanted to transform healthcare like Dr. Chopra or Sunjay Gupta have.
During my diversified medical work something kept me thinking that there was little awareness and education about preventive aspects of physical and mental ailments, amongst patients and their families and this was common for both countries where I have practiced medicine.
I am uniquely positioned to delivery this project successfully because:
- I have 15 years of experience in practicing medicine
- I have extensive research & knowledge of Sufi Poetry which is required to understand the metaphysical connection of the Soul and it's healing powers
- I have practiced medicine in both Pakistan & America which gives me the ability to converge eastern and western principles for a global solution.
- I have healed many patients through combining both techniques in the past and it's worked quite effectively
When I started this project I found no investors, so I decided to go shoot the documentary trailer myself to show how serious I am about the long-term vision of Soulfulness. Each time I have found failure in my life I have become stronger to invest more time into my career to transform healthcare by using art, science, poetry, music, dance, nutrition, and meditation to heal the world.
I was able to lead in all aspects of my medicinal career. Most recently I was selected to teach Tufts students at my hospital, and it felt great paying back to the community program I came out of as a resident myself.
- Hybrid of for-profit and nonprofit
Soulfulness is unique because healthcare is not an isolated issue, it's a wholistic issue that starts with the human soul. The only way you can disrupt healthcare is by reinventing it for the future by learning from our past.
I would like by 2030 at least 1 million people's lives to have transformed through soulfulness who were previously unaware of the little to no cost improvements they can introduce to their daily lifestyles that can keep them healthier and happier.

One year from now I would like to serve 10,000 people.
5 years from now I would to serve half a million people.
1. Next Year I would like to officially launch this by getting funding for Soulfulness and hire staff.
2. Next 5 years I would like to hire 500 other people to scale Soulfulness to other practitioners.
1. Next year the financial barrier and getting setup legally
2. Next 5 years the legal approvals from FDA and other legal entities
I plan to overcome these barriers by forming partnerships with others looking to transform healthcare.
