Mindful Roots
The formation of Mindful Roots stemmed from a fun and collaborative project initiated by three
forward thinking female physicians. Our diverse backgrounds make for the foundation (and thus roots)
of our practice. Our mindful and careful consideration on what we want to bring to our community is
the basis behind our mission.
Our primary focus with our new adventure stems from the identified need in our community to
provide both a safe and secure space, in addition to time, to discuss sensitive subject matter. Our goal is
to create an open atmosphere to talk about body image, sexual and pelvic health without judgment. The
current focus will be with urinary incontinence, pelvic floor relaxation, core strength, body image, and
overall wellness. HOW WE CARRY and FEEL about ourselves. We have some exciting tools that we hope
will help you.
