Neeshee Pandit is a Tibetan medical doctor (menpa), Ayurvedic practitioner, astrologer, writer, and teacher. Neeshee comes from a family lineage of professors, physicians, and astrologers. His grandfather, Dr. Y.I. Dixit (1932 - 2018) was a Professor of History who had a great interest in Ayurvedic medicine and Indian philosophy. He exposed Neeshee to Ayurvedic texts and remedies at a young age and encouraged his interest in traditional disciplines. Dr. Dixit was a renowned palm reader and his father was a Vedic astrologer.

Neeshee graduated from the California College of Ayurveda in 2015 and continued his studies under the tutelage of Vaidya R.K. Mishra (1952 - 2017) who initiated him into the Shaka Vansya Ayurveda lineage. Neeshee’s long-time interest in Tibetan culture led him to complete a traditional four-year education in Tibetan Medicine under the tutelage of Dr. Phuntsog Wangmo. After graduating in 2020, Neeshee pursued his childhood interest in Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture by training in Worsley Classical Five-Element Acupuncture at the Worsley Institute in 2021 and completing a Master’s diploma in Acupuncture at Middle Way Acupuncture Institute in 2024. Neeshee’s graduate work, “Spirits of the Unconscious: Possession and Resurrection in Acupuncture Therapeutics”, explores the relationship between psychology, acupuncture, and alchemy.

In addition to his clinical practice, Neeshee is an adjunct faculty member at Middle Way Acupuncture Institute and The School of Ayurveda, and publishes essays on the Somaraja Substack. Neeshee lives in Boulder, Colorado with his wife, Nicole, and their two pugs, Norbu and Nori.
