Sonal Taylor, MD · Rasayana Wellness

From illness-focused care to whole-person wellness

Dr. Taylor has 20 years of experience in internal medicine and hospital medicine. Caring for people with acute illness showed her how many needs go unaddressed when care focuses only on the immediate problem.

Drawing on over 10 years in functional medicine, Dr. Taylor brings your medical history, lifestyle, environment, and personal experience into the conversation. Our goal is a collaborative relationship built on trust and respect, not a one-size-fits-all plan.

Care grounded in presence and partnership

Dr. Taylor emphasizes the connection between mind, body, and spirit. She wants patients to feel heard, including when they have lived with longstanding symptoms or difficult experiences.

Her background includes training in mind-body medicine and a long-term meditation practice. She is also a Siddha Varmam therapist. These perspectives inform an integrative approach without replacing appropriate medical evaluation.

A lifelong commitment to service

Dr. Taylor’s background includes work in free clinics, relief work in Haiti, and involvement in a nonprofit supporting children on the Pine Ridge Reservation. Service and a personal connection to each patient are recurring themes in how we care for patients.

What your partnership may involve

Expect a detailed and curious conversation about your health concerns and history, your daily routines, and the changes you are ready to explore. Our personalized approach may include reviewing relevant records and discussing next steps.

Ask about telehealth eligibility, visit options, and fees when requesting an appointment. We confirm appointments based on availability.

Your questions, answered.
