A missing piece of a puzzle

Struggling with physical or mental health concerns is confusing, it can often feel like you are scrambling in the dark for a missing piece of the puzzle. Sometimes, that missing piece is the understanding of how biology & psychology are constantly shaping each other. Our founder Dr. Sula Windgassen knows this first-hand after her own personal two year struggle with mystery bladder issues.

Her passion for the mind-body connection was ignited by her own two-year journey recovering from "mystery" bladder issues.  She founded Body Mind Connect to bring her evidence-based approaches to those struggling with chronic conditions, creating the resource she knew would have been helpful in her own healing journey.

Dr. Sula Windgassen has dedicated her entire career to exploring the powerful intersection between physical and mental health.
