Kathy Stepien, MD understood the healing power of wellness retreats.  Having witnessed firsthand her struggling physician colleagues, she threw caution to the wind and launched The Institute for Physician Wellness in 2016, as a place for doctors to “pause, connect and renew.”   Before pursuing medicine, she practiced physical therapy for 13 years, which has given her a broad range of experiences to draw on. She incorporates these experiences into her teachings on physician wellness, self-compassion, and mindfulness in medicine.
