A Rooted Awakening is a functional medicine wellness practice built on one core belief: real healing starts at the root, not the surface. Founded by an Integrative Functional Wellness Practitioner — a career firefighter and paramedic with graduate degrees in herbal medicine and integrative health — the practice helps high-performing professionals, first responders, healthcare workers, caregivers, and anyone running on overdrive rebuild resilience, regulate their nervous system, and reconnect with sustainable well-being — through a personalized blend of functional health coaching, nutrition, and evidence-informed wellness practices, organized into three guided paths: Ground, Root, and Bloom.

Honestly, and without pretending every modality here is the same kind of thing. A Rooted Awakening brings together evidence-informed care where clinical research supports it, traditional wellness practices where tradition is the foundation, and educational support where clinical treatment belongs with your own licensed provider. Every service on this site is framed accordingly, so you always know what you're getting and why.

Functional medicine health coaching focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of health concerns — rather than only managing symptoms — through lifestyle, nutrition, and whole-person support, always alongside your existing medical care.

Yes. Mobile IV hydration is available now, starting at $175, with the final price depending on the blend selected. Sessions are brought directly to you.

No — the practice welcomes everyone. Hypnobirthing classes, one of the services under consideration, would also be open to partners.

Board certification as a functional medicine health coach begins in March 2027, with full coaching packages available in Early 2028. In the meantime, somatic breathwork opens in Early 2027 as a first way to work together.

Functional nutrition looks at how food and lifestyle patterns connect to the root cause of how you feel, rather than following a generic diet plan. It's available as its own standalone session or woven into a full coaching path, starting alongside functional medicine health coaching in Early 2028.

Somatic breathwork uses guided breathing techniques to help regulate the nervous system and release stored tension. It's trauma-informed, meaning sessions are approached with care around safety and pacing, and it's offered as an educational and supportive practice — not a replacement for licensed mental health treatment.

Reiki is a gentle, hands-on or hands-near energy practice used to support relaxation and nervous-system regulation. It's planned to open in Q4 2026, once fully ready to hold that space well.

Sound Therapy sessions use the vibration and resonance of crystal or Himalayan singing bowls to help settle the nervous system and deepen rest. It's offered in both group and individual formats, coming soon.

Peptide education helps clients understand the research behind specific peptides so they can bring informed, well-researched questions to their own physician. This is an educational offering only — peptides are prescription medications, and any prescribing or administration decision stays with your licensed provider.

They're three entry points, not a required sequence relative to each other. Ground covers nervous-system-focused work like breathwork, reiki, and sound. Root covers coaching and nutrition. Bloom brings everything together into one comprehensive program. Every client begins with the Integrative Wellness Assessment, which identifies which path fits best — whether you already have a sense of what you want or not.

Yes. The Ground, Root, and Bloom paths are there to help guide you if you want a fuller journey, but every modality is also listed on its own under Branches — no need to commit to a package or a particular price point if a single session is what fits.

A Rooted Awakening is founded by a career firefighter and paramedic with master's degrees in herbal medicine and integrative health and wellness, bringing both clinical steadiness and lived, whole-person wellness experience to every service offered.
