Transforming Healthcare
Our practice was founded by Kathleen Stienstra, MD in 2005 as a clinical partner with the nonprofit Maple Center for Integrative Health whose mission is “To provide integrative health education and house clinical partners, combining the best of modern medicine and complementary care.”
The Vision: The Maple Center for Integrative Health envisions optimal wellness for the Wabash Valley Community by offering mind-body-spirit education and therapies.
Practitioners with Integrative Roots provide community education through the nonprofit and individual client care through our private practice.
Our practice has grown to include Becca Barger, NP-C and Chloee Hurst, RDN. This growth has allowed us to serve more clients and offer a greater community impact for integrative care in the Wabash Valley
We have never been happier to be a private practice rather than owned by a corporate hospital system. We are truly focused on providing what you need and taking the necessary time to provide it. Many who fall through the cracks of mainstream medicine and superficial short visits will find that our approach offers hope, answers and new directions for healing and/or optimizing your future health.
Rather than being diagnosis and protocol driven, we will explore the systems in the body that underlie a diagnosis. Supporting your body systems where needed (digestive, cardiovascular, detoxification, immune, neurologic, hormonal) helps your own healing strength to assert itself and bring you to a healthier life.
Our tools include a detailed conversation about your medical and lifestyle history, physical exam, blood and other functional medicine laboratory testing tailored to your needs. Nutritional and lifestyle counseling will dive deep into the best approaches for your specific needs.

Who We Are
We are a group of professionals who provide integrative and functional medicine. As a healthcare collective, we assist others by providing nutrient therapy, functional testing, nutritional therapy, acupuncture, and other alternative medical services. We help you find the root cause of your symptoms to get you to your optimal self.
A modern approach
We want you to leave each appointment feeling confident in your ability to make informed decisions about your healthcare. We aspire to provide top quality care and testing to empower you to live your healthiest and happiest life.
Our Model
Pay Your Way
Don’t feel obligated to choose the provider only because it is what your insurance covers. We provide super bills if you wish to submit your appointment to insurance, otherwise, we are out of network providers. This allows you to be in the driver’s seat for your care.
Functional Medicine
Ready to find the root cause and heal on a molecular level? We utilize various testing and nutrient therapies to optimize your body’s detoxification and chemical pathways. Your first session with our MD and NP must be in-person but follow up care can be done via telehealth if you choose for a more convenient experience.
Nutritional Therapy
Online or in-person, who couldn’t use a little spruce in their diet? Working with our dietitian can help fine tune your nutritional and physical goals and answer any questions related to your labs utilizing medical nutrition therapy and coaching techniques. Lifestyle medicine has been shown to have powerful healing properties to prevent and reverse chronic diseases.
