Kleopatra Ormos, M.D. has spent her career refining methods that integrate principles of neuroscience, psychiatry, ancient medical and spiritual practices, nutrition, and exercise to help her clients improve their emotional and physical health, and guide them in their personal and professional growth.

She received her M.D. degree at Semmelwies University, School of Medicine in Budapest, Hungary and her diploma in Acupuncture at the Boltzmann Institute in Vienna, Austria. She completed her psychiatric residency at SUNY, Stony Brook, New York.

She studied and worked in several different educational systems, fields, and circumstances in a variety of cultures: these ranged from the National Institute of Neurosurgery in Hungary, Ayurvedic primary health care and Buddhist leprosy camp in India, Psychiatry Department of University Hospital in Austria, National Institutes of Mental Health, in Maryland, and Academy of Chinese Traditional Medicine in China. Inspired by her travels and field studies she also studied Buddhism and yoga.

In her capacity as secretary general of the International Federation of Medical Students' Associations (Vienna, Austria), she researched new approaches to community-based education and problem-oriented learning.  As an outgrowth of this research she initiated a primary-health-care project, The Village Concept, which was implemented in Ghana to serve as a model for other developing countries.

She consulted to the Chief Medical Officer for Educational Planning, Methodology, and Evaluation in the Division of Health Manpower Development of the World Health Organization (WHO Geneva, Switzerland) with regard to medical curricula and training of health personnel. She also served as a member of the WHO task force on cross-professional education of health personnel, whose report, "The Team Approach," became part of the official WHO guidelines.

Her research experience at the National Institute of Mental Health (Bethesda, Maryland) led her to pursue psychiatry as her specialty. She has been in private practice in Massachusetts since 1993. She founded Sobras Institute in 2003 to develop educational programs focusing on sustainable emotional and physical health.
