As a medical intuitive, healer, and life coach- Dr. Elizabeth Ssemanda is dedicated to helping others find peace in mind, body, and soul. With degrees from Brown University (undergraduate), Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (doctorate), Warren Alpert Medical School at Brown University (medical doctorate), and finally, psychiatry residency at the University of Michigan-Dr. Ssemanda seeks to pursue holistic treatment methods for people suffering from mental illnesses. As a board-certified psychiatrist, she specializes in helping healers heal. Acknowledging that conventional treatments often ignore other aspects of the patient's wellness, as if they only exist in three dimensions- Dr. Ssemanda created her practice called New U Psychiatry, where she offers holistic treatment options alongside psychiatric care within one location, and Soulinyou, where she provides individual and group intuitive readings and healings. Continuing on her mission to change the conversation from coping with mental health issues to mental health wellness-she also hosts an empowering podcast called Stepping into Soul Power which helps encourage listeners to understand their blocks, transform their relationships and career and heal.###Your hosts of Are You Waiting for Permission? are Meridith Grundei and Joseph Bennett.
