What it’s like to truly get rooted for the first time…
I didn’t always know that being a Rooted Mother was possible. I spent my professional career and early motherhood pushing through and, frankly, running away from my problems. I had no idea that what I really needed to do was tend to my own roots.
The Rooted Mother made her presence known to me one day with a clear message and image.
It was several years into my own healing and spiritual journey when I was shown a vision of tree trunks running around high above the earth. It seemed absurd, of course. Trees don’t move. And how were they surviving without their roots?
I realised that was how I had been living my life.
It doesn't make sense for trees to go running around as branchless, rootless trunks. It's just as unnatural for mothers to feel so disconnected and driven. But here we are.
All mothers need to feel rooted and grounded, but it’s so hard in our busy world.
With all of the expectations and obligations attached to modern motherhood, it feels impossible to feel grounded. We try so hard, and yet we start to feel hollow, undervalued, and unsupported. And we tend to push on, until we can't push on any longer.
The trees gave me a clear mission, and I knew that their message needed to be shared.
And so, I created The Rooted Mother to serve as a sanctuary and a place of healing for mums who are seeking the deeper spiritual connection that is missing from everyday life.
Most modern problems need ancient solutions…
What about you? Do you feel rooted, grounded, and nourished?
If you’re like I was when I was raising young children, the answer is “not really.” Something has felt off for you for a while. And you’ve done your best to change your situation or change yourself so you could finally feel better. At this point, you feel like you’ve followed a million different recommendations. You've probably heard about how you need to tend to your nervous system through mindful breathing techniques or time out in nature.
Have you noticed that those techniques aren’t really working?
What if you tried something different? What if you began to recognise that you are nature?
What if you transformed your relationship with your breath and what it means to be alive?
What if you went back to the roots of spirituality that supports the mindfulness practices that are so trendy today?
What if you listened to the language of the trees and could discover what it really means to get rooted into your true self?
That’s what we do at The Rooted Mother, and I am so excited to share this way of being and healing with you.
My story…
When my three boys were young, I was trapped in a painful cycle.
I’d yell and overreact. Then, I’d work doubly hard to fix everything. Moving from emotional meltdowns to total collapse, I was constantly losing and then struggling to reestablish control over my life. Overwhelm, shame and judgement were my constant companions. My marriage suffered, and my whole family felt the strain because I couldn’t be the mother I longed to be.
I tried all the techniques and all the therapies, and yet nothing shifted. In fact, all of the conventional solutions only made me feel worse. Traumatised by the system that was meant to help me, it all reinforced the belief that I was broken in some way.
I tried gentle mindfulness practices, like taking more walks and taking deeper breaths, and still I struggled. I was an intelligent professional (I was an accountant at the time). I was a deeply caring mother. Why couldn’t I stop these cycles and fix myself?
Though things seemed impossible much of the time, I still believed there was a glimmer of hope out there. Something in me was calling me to go deeper.
If you’re here right now, I have a sense that you feel that deeper calling too..
A story of hope…
In time, I was able to follow that glimmer until I found mentors who really saw me. They helped me find myself. And I hadn’t even realized I was lost. They taught me to embrace a deep, embodied spirituality.
I was as surprised as anyone that spirituality offered the healing that I had been searching for all along. Everything changed for me when I realized that I always had access to my own greatest resource: my soul.
And now, I am a guide for mothers who are trying to find their way back to themselves
Over time, my unique spiritual path opened to me. I realized I had a calling to become a healer and a mentor for women who were caught in the same cycles that once held me prisoner.
My own healer’s journey has included the study of tarot and earth based spirituality. Most recently, I’ve joined a multiyear shamanic apprenticeship.
Through one-on-one healing sessions, I help you find your own way back to The Rooted Mother. Together, we’ll reconnect you to your own soul and your own roots. From there, you’ll be ready to stretch out your branches so you can move gracefully through all the elements of life.
