Healing Through Art with Dr. Vasu Tolia

Healing Through Art with Dr. Vasu Tolia In this heart-opening episode, Heather sits down with Dr. Vasu Tolia, a former pediatric gastroenterologist who has transitioned into a healing artist. After a distinguished medical career, Dr. Tolia transitioned into a vibrant second act—creating abstract and semi-abstract artwork that speaks to the mind-body connection and emotional resilience. Together, they explore how art functions as visual medicine, the neuroscience behind healing through creativity, and the profound impact of beauty in clinical spaces. Dr. Tolia also shares the story behind her award-winning COVID-inspired painting, how her work ended up on the cover of a CDC journal, and why she believes art should be a fourth pillar of wellness alongside sleep, nutrition, and exercise.
