Meet your host, Dr. John Wadude Laird, MD.

A few years ago, Dr. Laird’s wife Nura was diagnosed with cancer.  In response, their family came together in an amazing way to help her heal.Integrating a variety of allopathic and alternative treatments, they employed spiritual healing practices as a family unit to bring about complete healing on many levels for Nura and the entire family.

“Before the cancer, our family loved each other.  After the cancer, we cherish each other.”

Dr. Laird is a holistic medical doctor who has been on the forefront of the holistic medicine movement for forty years.  He and Nura have been spiritual healing practitioners and teachers for over 30 years.  They are passionate about helping people to realize true transformation along the healing journey.

Dr. Laird is a co-founder of both the University of Spiritual Healing & Sufism and the Shafiyy Institute. His personal spiritual practice for forty years has been in classical Sufism, a tradition based on deep and subtle understandings of the human heart. He has provided personal healing sessions to hundreds of people with a wide variety of physical, emotional and spiritual concerns, and taught these approaches to several thousand people, including many health professionals in the past twenty years.

“As I’ve attended and presented at conferences around the country I have been struck by the fact that very, very few people are talking about love or the heart, as if compassion and caring come only from the mind and have nothing to do with the heart.  I believe now is the time to discuss the importance of love and to explore the subtle worlds of the heart and their role in achieving real healing.”
