this is about service
The people whom you serve are often members of the most vulnerable populations in the world, suffering beyond anything the average person could imagine. You can’t continue to advocate for others with zeal if you don’t serve yourself first. Serving others matters to you, and serving you matters to us. We are here to support you in prioritizing your well-being so you can continue to do your work because the world needs your service.
this is about connection
Human connection is fundamental to our mental and physical well-being. High quality connections have been shown to positively impact our physical and mental well-being, allowing us to build resilience and function at peak performance. We are here to tell you that you don’t have to sacrifice yourself for your work.
this is about thriving
If you’re here, it’s likely that you have a deep-seated desire to serve others. So what do you do to ensure you’re able to do this work day in and day out? We know that stress and hardship are a given for everyone at some point in life - and yet - we do very little to prepare ourselves to face and overcome these challenges. At Roots in the Clouds we use simple mindfulness practices to help you build meaningful daily rituals and practices that keep you thriving!
about dimple
Dimple is a leadership + well-being coach with a 20-year history of working in public service and the humanitarian sector, focusing on asylum and refugee related policies and operations. In this capacity Dimple identified a need for more mindfulness-based training for individuals working with vulnerable populations at the crossroads of the government and humanitarian sectors.
In 2017 she launched a directorate-wide mindfulness-based resilience and well-being program with a mission to provide the workforce with traditional and innovative tools and resources to create a culture of empathy and compassion. Since its launch, the program has expanded from an online site with links to resources, to a full program with rotational staff assignments, a weekly in-house mindfulness session, and in-person trainings based in mindfulness and positive psychology.
Dimple is an accredited executive coach in the Treasury Executive Institute Coaching Program and the USCIS Coaching Ambassadors Program.

our logo
Our logo was the creative vision of talented designer, Kajal Dhabalia, Founder of Wholesome Soul.
Every part of the design has special significance to us as noted below.
The name “Roots in the Clouds” and the curly script represent the idea that we don’t have to be in one place to plant roots.
The hummingbird symbolizes the free spirit of humanitarians who spend their lives traveling from place to place in service of others .
The heart in the heart-flower symbolizes the love humanitarians put into the world. The flower represents self-care and well-being.
The golden star represents mindfulness, or what we call True North. - that voice inside our hearts that guides us on our path towards meaning and purpose.
