Dr Kris Goodwin
Born in the UK, Dr Kris grew up in Kloof, a small town just outside Durban. From a young age he loved helping people, and participated in community outreaches through his church and during a gap year travelling around South Africa. This is where the calling to pursue medicine began.
After graduating from the University of Pretoria in 2013, he completed his internship and community service at Prince Mshiyeni Memorial Hospital one of the busiest public-sector hospitals in KwaZulu-Natal. It was here that he discovered his passion for Anaesthetics.
He later moved to Pietermaritzburg and qualified as a Diplomate Anaesthetist from Grey's Hospital in early 2017. Since 2019, Dr Kris has run a successful private anaesthetic practice in Johannesburg, including frontline work during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2024, after years of studying the power of psychedelics, he opened Intrinsic Pathways a practice dedicated to helping people navigate their mental health journey with trust, ethics, compassion and evidence-based care.
He believes in a balanced, integrated approach to health combining physical, psychological and spiritual wellness to help people live meaningful and fulfilling lives. Outside of medicine, Dr Kris enjoys hiking, exercising, and cheering for the Springboks.
