Meet-a-Mom, Khushboo Joshi
What’s your favorite family activity in the Hinsdale, Western Springs, La Grange, Clarendon Hills Area?
There are a few activities I love so far, Sunday walks to downtown Hinsdale for coffee and pastries with the family, hitting up tennis courts with my daughter as we both learn, and going for long bike rides.
How many children do you have and what are their age(s)?
An 11 year old boy entering HMS and a 9 year old girl.
How long have you lived in the Hinsdale/WS/La Grange/CH Area? What made you decide to live here?
We moved here a few weeks before “shelter in place” for COVID 19 hit Illinois. We are overcome by how welcoming
and supportive our neighbors have been during this challenging time. This community is so tight and caring, moving to Hinsdale was the right choice for us.
Where’s your favorite place to eat and/or shop in the Hinsdale/WS/La Grange/CH Area?
Since we moved at the start of the pandemic, I haven’t yet shopped at the boutiques catching my eye. The take out from Fullers, Wild Ginger, and Nabuki has been spectacular!
What’s one thing people would be surprised to know about you?
I make a pretty mean chocolate lava cake. The trial and error of perfecting the recipe has been as enjoyable as the result!
Anyone special you’d like to thank for helping you through parenthood?
Like every woman, my first and most profound influence on being a Mother has been my own Mom. I compare myself to
her and her loving nature, and hope that I’m doing her justice. The ladies of my extended family have set great examples on how to carry forward. And of course, my friends – the Rockstar women I who are more sisters than friends, inspire me consistently.
Are you involved in a business venture, a local organization, a creative endeavor, or in the corporate world? Please share!
Women’s Clinic USA – for SO MANY MOMS that need help. I’ve opened up a private Pelvic Health Physical Therapy practice in Hinsdale. Therapy for “mom issues” like: incontinence, painful sex, frequently using the bathroom – the“security pee” just before you leave the house … The first of its kind which provides in-home appointments specifically for Pelvic Floor PT. Being at the best rehabilitation hospital in the country for almost 15 years as a senior women’s health therapist and educator, I saw too many women not get therapy because they couldn’t get childcare, or they couldn’t squeeze in a midday appointment. Children and employment shouldn’t limit women from getting healthy, so now we bring the rehabilitation to you.
How has this community been instrumental in getting you to where you are now?
The solidarity here is exceptional. Moving during the pandemic, I got to see the best of the community caring for
each other. I’m so grateful to be a part of it.
