“I was keen to learn new techniques and have a change and break from my usual routine. And there are practical things I will definitely take away and implement in the practice. Things like meditation and taking two-minute breaks to carry out breathing exercises with my nurses. It’s so important to help with our mindset.”
Dr. Mahrukh Khwaja is a dentist, positive psychologist, accredited mindfulness teacher, and the founder of Mind Ninja, an award-winning wellness startup dedicated to improving mental health and resilience of individuals across the globe. Her vision is to support others in their journey for a calm mind, and thriving life.
With nothing of its kind currently available in the healthcare industry, she envisioned a system of support that, just like daily brushing and flossing, took a preventive maintenance approach to mental health.
