Welcome! My name is Laura Gilbert, and I am a holistic health & trauma coach and I am the founder of Mindful Roots.

Mindful Roots began when as a seed of an idea in 2020 when I became a foster mum unexpectedly and began seeing a critical gap in the support options available for parents and children, particularly those affected by trauma. With over 16 years of experience working with children and families in a variety of environments and contexts, I have developed a passion for education and consistent engagement in personal development in order to best meet the needs of the people I have been interacting with.

I also have an avid interest in holistic health & wellbeing. This has also manifested from a series of health challenges in my own life where the standard treatment options did little to support my recovery and I have been forced to seek other choices.

Drawing on my extensive experience in both my personal and professional life, I established a growing awareness of the deep, often overlooked connection between emotional trauma and physical health obstacles. I was inspired to undertake further studies and gain the necessary credentials to create a holistic health and trauma coaching practice that bridges the gap by offering integrative, compassionate support.

I currently work exclusively with women who are currently in a motherhood role, or about to embark on a motherhood role. I would like to work with children too at a later stage however I firmly believe when a woman is supported in embracing her full feminine self, honouring her intuition, strength, vulnerability, and wisdom, she becomes a powerful catalyst for transformation not only in her own life but within her entire community.

As she steps into her authenticity and wholeness, she models self-worth, emotional intelligence, and resilience for those around her, inspiring others to do the same. Her presence nurtures deeper connections, fosters compassion, and creates a ripple effect of healing that extends to her family, friendships, workplace, and beyond. In empowering one woman, we uplift the collective, because a woman rooted in her truth naturally nurtures and elevates the people and spaces she touches.

Mindful Roots was founded on the belief that true healing begins at the intersection of mind, body, and soul, in connection with nature. As a holistic health and trauma coaching practice, its foundation lies in supporting women in reconnecting with their natural intelligence and inner resilience. The name ‘Mindful Roots’ reflects the core mission: to help clients ground themselves in awareness, grow beyond trauma, and thrive with intention. The logo beautifully symbolizes this vision, representing the deep connection between the brain and nature, the importance of being rooted in the present moment, and the holistic growth that occurs when we nurture both our inner and outer worlds.

Whether or not you choose to work with Mindful Roots, I wish you all the best in your healing & growth journey.
