Dr Praveen Yoganathan is a medical practitioner and cannabis clinician based in Melbourne, Victoria. He has always had an inherent interest in exploring the complexities of the human mind and understanding individuals on a more complex and multifaceted level.

Praveen graduated from James Cook University with a Bachelor of Medicine and a Bachelor of Surgery, practicing in Brisbane before returning to his home city of Melbourne. He has gained extensive clinical exposure working across a broad range of specialties including general medicine, rehabilitation medicine, chronic pain clinics and aged care. He has also worked in multiple areas of Psychiatry including, Child and Adolescent Mental Health, Adult Mental Health and Older Adult Mental Health. Praveen is committed to providing holistic care which is customised to the unique needs of each individual patient, taking into account their distinctive characteristics and circumstances. Praveen is an advocate for the use of a broader range of treatments including natural medicines, therapy, meditation and exercise rather than relying on conventional medications alone.
