Who We Are

A practice built on purpose, compassion, and community.

To Guide Individuals Toward Holistic Healing and Resilient Growth

Rooted. Nested. is dedicated to guiding individuals toward holistic healing and resilient growth through trauma-informed, Mind/Body therapeutic practices. Our mission is to empower each person’s intrinsic worth and foster deep-rooted self-awareness and well-nested community connections. Ultimately, we aim for “the future we long for to become the life we live today”.

A Future Where Healing Is Communal and Interconnected

We envision a world where every individual is deeply rooted in their authentic self and well nested in supportive relationships. This means personal wellness and community well-being are interconnected, where clients thrive together as neighbors and healers in their own communities. We strive to be a beacon of hope and stability, blending medical insight with compassionate counseling to transform trauma into empowered growth.

Compassionate, Trauma-Informed Care

At the heart of Rooted. Nested. is a trauma-informed philosophy. We recognize how trauma lives in the body and prioritize practices that restore safety and regulation. This includes somatic therapies, EMDR, and breathwork, combined with Mind/Body cognitive techniques like CBT to support insight. This philosophy is influenced by Joanna’s journey as a Registered Nurse (RN), witnessing the profound connection between unresolved trauma and chronic health conditions. This experience infuses Rooted. Nested. with a unique blend of medical insight, high standards of practice, and deep therapeutic compassion.
