Shobha Nepali is a passionate and adventurous researcher, writer, and reviewer. Her research focuses on how workplaces can be more habitable to the employees, how to better the social relations of work among colleagues, and how inclusion and cultural safety can be catered to accommodate the needs of diverse population and workforce. Research interests include social relations of work, healthy workplace culture, cultural safety, diversity and inclusion, mental health, yoga and wellness, prevention of lifestyle disorders, natural treatment of chronic diseases, and use of traditional healing. 

She holds professional experience across a variety of settings and specialties ranging from a low resource to high-tech, neonatal to adult, physical to mental, social to spiritual, and Global North to South including common to rare practices such as a delivery of an anencephalic baby. Skills include designing research projects, study units and training modules. As an academic, she helped establish a nursing college, oversaw the overall management of the college, designed the courses, and coordinated the clinical and community placements of the nursing students in addition to lecturing and student assessments. As a project officer, she trekked to a remote alpine district of Nepal for several days to gather information on the status of public health, awareness levels and the need for and feasibility of community health programs. As part of the project work, she travelled back and forth for planning, implementation, and evaluation.

She is well versed with the global, national, and local health issues and the cost-effective ways of achieving holistic health. As a Health Care Professional and Yoga Practitioner, she combines the anatomical and physiological knowledge into yogic poses and breathing to achieve health through the life span. She strives to find sound evidence on yoga benefits and design the future public health of Australia.

Personally, Shobha throve out of profound adversity since her birth and has set an example for people. She did not pay for her education but earned from inherent qualities. She believes that senses are for sensing things around but not for living with them; for holistic wellness physical senses need to be numbed and spiritual senses awakened.
