What happens when a physician rediscovers her inner artist? In this episode of Too Curious MDs, join Dr. Simi Rahman and Dr. Alya Ahmad as we explore the layered meaning of ‘integration’ in both psychedelic medicine and narrative healing. Through deep conversation and a creative self-love exercise, we unpack how art, ritual, and symbolic language bring fragmented parts of the self back into wholeness.
Dr. Simi Rahman is a pediatrician, narrative medicine educator, and integrative thinker who bridges clinical science with soulful storytelling. With a passion for reshaping the culture of care, she draws on decades of experience to explore how creativity, reflection, and connection transform both patient care and physician well-being. Through her work with Too Curious MDs, she invites healthcare professionals to move beyond checklists and diagnoses—and into a deeper relationship with themselves, their patients, and the healing process.Dr. Alya Ahmad is a board-certified pediatrician and psychotherapist whose work sits at the intersection of medicine, trauma healing, and narrative exploration. As a fierce advocate for mental and emotional integration in clinical practice, she combines neuroscience, somatic awareness, and creative ritual to support patients and physicians in reclaiming their wholeness. Together with Dr. Rahman, she co-hosts Too Curious MDs, creating spaces where curiosity meets care and healing becomes a deeply human experience.
