​

As we all slowly crawl out of the pandemic into a world that appears to be a little less organized and a little more uncertain, she is focusing her current efforts on supporting health care providers.  She is currently developing a Heal the Healers program, which is a collaborative, multi-disciplinary, group based program that helps health care providers reconnect  their personal values to their practice in health care. 

​

(Coming soon !)  Dr. Kotay is actively working on several books related to the role of health care providers in addressing community manifestations of pain as well as on the use of biofeedback to retrain neural pathways associated with pain.
