Hey there!
Published social psychologist, Ayurvedic nutritionist, and practitioner of plant medicine and Sufi healing. Creator of The Birthright Method and founder of Ivy Chan Wellness.
I come from a West Asian nomadic family — one that had healers among them. I also spent years as a tenure-track professor, but before that, it was my PhD that first broke me open: Hormonal chaos, anxiety, a body that was clearly asking for something my academic training had no answer for. The practices that became the m.a.n.t.r.a method were what pulled me through — not as a wellness experiment, but as survival. That experience never left me.
When I finally stopped separating my analytical mind from my intuitive nature, everything shifted. My gut healed. My energy steadied. My work stopped feeling like a performance.
That integration is what I now teach. Not as an abstract philosophy. As an everyday practice.
