Course Creators
Dr. Gabor Maté is a retired physician, bestselling author, an internationally renowned
speaker and the creator of the Compassionate Inquiry approach to psychotherapy.
Gabor evolved this therapeutic approach over 20 years of his personal journey, and from
his work with patients in family practice, palliative care, and addiction. He developed
his system further while facilitating integration workshops focused on healing trauma
through the use of psychedelics.
Sat Dharam Kaur N.D. has supported Dr. Gabor Maté in structuring the Compassionate
Inquiry approach and developing the online training.
Sat Dharam is a naturopathic doctor, teacher and author, who combines naturopathic
medicine with Compassionate Inquiry, yoga, breathing practices and meditation to
support others in healing and integrating mind, body and spirit.
Course Facilitator
Leila is a Certified Compassionate Inquiry Practitoner and infertility therapist. Leila’s
work with clients is dynamic, simultaneously addressing areas for healing and areas for growth.
Her focus with clients is rooted not only in Compassionate Inquiry and Positive
Psychology but also in her own prolonged experience with infertility. Her approach
addresses the uncertainty that emerges as a major challenge during infertility and
prepares clients for the uncertainty they may face in other areas of life.
