Dr. Neelam Rai, PhD
Dr. Neelam Rai is an Integrative Women’s Health and Calm Leadership Guide, dedicated to helping high-achieving women navigate perimenopause, burnout, and life redesign without sacrificing their health or purpose. Drawing on her expertise in women’s health science, nervous-system regulation, and integrative guidance, she empowers women to restore calm authority, realign their lives with their biology, and re-enter their purpose sustainably. Through her coaching and mentoring, she creates pathways for women to embrace holistic well-being while balancing careers, families, and leadership responsibilities.
As the Founder and CEO of SoulRx™ Academy, Dr. Rai developed the SoulRx™ Healing System, a 12-in-1 framework that blends ancient healing traditions, neuroscience, and spiritual leadership. Over the past decade, she has guided hundreds of women, leaders, and healers to reset their energy, overcome chronic illness, and cultivate abundance. Her work also includes published teachings on Reiki, women’s hormonal health, burnout recovery, and spiritual leadership, reflecting her commitment to bridging the gap between science and spirituality.
Before founding SoulRx™ Academy, Dr. Rai held senior leadership roles in U.S. healthcare systems, managing billion-dollar budgets and leading finance and strategy initiatives focused on people-centered outcomes. Witnessing firsthand how the medical system often fails women inspired her mission to pioneer integrative approaches to women’s health. Born in Fiji and now based in the San Francisco Bay Area, she combines personal experience, professional expertise, and spiritual insight to help women live with clarity, confidence, and sustainable success.
What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to a journey of transformation that has shaped both my personal and professional life. I began as a CPA, yet it was the profound realities of healthcare—its financial and emotional toll—that first stirred a deeper calling within me. That calling became most urgent during a high-risk pregnancy, when I faced a terrifying misdiagnosis alongside a flaring autoimmune disease. Told to prepare for the worst, I instead turned inward, using energy healing to release fear and forgiveness to rebuild trust in a system that had failed me. Against the odds, my son Veer—whose name means “strength”—was born healthy at 35 weeks.
Through these experiences, I found my purpose: transforming personal crisis into a mission to empower women to reclaim their health. With a PhD and the wisdom gained from my own journey, I guide women in regulating their nervous systems, cultivating inner peace, and navigating life with resilience. I do this through intimate circles and safe spaces, offering tools for calm and reminding those I work with that “what you are seeking is seeking you.”
For me, true influence begins by becoming your own most important client. When we prioritize our wellness and cultivate self-trust, we create ripples that extend far beyond ourselves, fostering healthier, more empowered communities.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values that guide me in both my work and personal life are authenticity, resilience, and compassion. I strive to lead with integrity, nurture meaningful connections, and create spaces where others feel seen, supported, and empowered. Outside of work, I prioritize balance and joy—whether it’s reading, cooking, traveling, or spending quality time with my son. I also find renewal and inspiration in nature, which reminds me to stay grounded and present in every moment.
