Dr. Shefali is a clinical psychologist, New York Times bestselling author, and the founder of the Conscious Parenting movement. Blending Western psychology with Eastern wisdom, she has redefined how families understand selfhood, connection, and the inner life of children.

Trained at Columbia University, Dr. Shefali has spent decades guiding parents beyond patterns of fear and control toward presence, authenticity, and inner transformation. Her work explores the hidden forces that shape identity, relationships, and the way we inhabit the world, creating a path for both children and the adults who raise them to awaken and evolve. Her two newest books, Raising Conscious Sons and Raising Conscious Daughters, arrive on September 15, 2026.
