About Pooja Lakshmin MD
Welcome to Real Self-Care
Hi! I’m Dr. Pooja Lakshmin. I’m a board-certified psychiatrist, a clinical assistant professor at George Washington University School of Medicine, and the author of the book Real Self-Care (Crystals, Cleanses, and Bubble-Baths Not Included).
After Real Self-Care came out in March 2023, I realized even though I had written the book, I still had so much more to say about self-care. I needed a place to put those thoughts and a way to get them out into the world.
