Judith Orloff, MD, is a psychiatrist, an empath, and the New York Times bestselling author of Guide to Intuitive Healing: 5 Steps to Physical, Emotional, and Sexual Wellness, a book that shows how intuition can be used for self-healing, healing others, and helping to heal the world. Her other books include The Empath’s Survival Guide and Emotional Freedom.

As an intuitive healer and member of the UCLA clinical psychiatric faculty, Dr. Orloff synthesizes the pearls of traditional medicine with leading-edge knowledge of intuition, energy, and spirituality. Widely regarded as the “Godmother of the Empath Movement,” she specializes in treating empaths and highly sensitive people in her private practice.

Dr. Orloff’s work has been featured on The Today Show, CNN, and in O, the Oprah Magazine and The New York Times. Dr. Orloff also has spoken at Google-LA and has a popular TEDx talk. USA Today has called Dr. Orloff “a serene maverick.”

“With patients and in workshops,” says Dr. Orloff, “I listen with my intellect and my intuition, a potent inner wisdom that goes beyond the literal. I experience it as a flash of insight, a gut feeling, a hunch, a dream. By blending intuition with orthodox medical knowledge, I can offer my patients and workshop participants the best of both worlds.”
