A place to begin, right where you are.

Mindfulness grounded in medicine.
For anyone navigating cancer

A free, physician-designed 6-week program.

Dr. Punam Rana is a medical oncologist and certified meditation teacher who created The Mindful Path after years of caring for patients through serious illness, and recognizing that medicine alone isn’t enough.

The approach

Evidence-based. Clinically informed. Genuinely human.

Mindfulness is not about clearing your mind or forcing calm. It’s learning to be with what is here — without being overwhelmed by it.

Over two decades of research show that mindfulness can reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and support quality of life during illness.
This program was designed by a physician who understands both the science and the lived experience of serious illness.

The gap in care

Medicine treats the disease.
This cares for the person.

Cancer affects every part of life. These are the struggles that often go unseen-but never go away.
