Roots to Rise PLLC

We met 3 years ago. I told her I was not interested in agency work. I was tired of the politics, the billing and efficiency mind, the turn and burn/fill the beds mentality, the daily grind under the false pretense of promoting "self-care,” the loss of relational connection to prioritize roles and rules, the social dominance games and the pathogenic approach so often seen in mental health settings.

With a fierce veracity and fearlessness in her heart, she smiled and said..."Then do it differently."

And so, we did...

TRAUMADDICTION! Simultaneously healing trauma and addiction without overwhelming one's nervous system. Prioritizing human capital (staff) as our greatest resource and pouring love into the wounded healers that have dedicated their lives to service. Creating a regenerative environment for staff to heal their own painful past. Honoring choice, voice, and each person's unique gifts. Using a ForwardFacing © approach to combine self-regulation with mission/intention. A deep commitment to a Salutogenic lens and Trauma Conscious foundation. Integration of ritual, ceremony, invitation, movement, community, mindfulness, nature, intentional play, nourishment, sacred land, embodiment, and connection. Honoring the innate inner healing wisdom within each of us. Connecting to ancient indigenous wisdom. Healing ourselves, our clients, this land, and our ancestors.

She said "So do it differently...and so we did." We have only just begun. Seven Arrows Recovery Laura Fedele

To the great teachers that paved this path and allowed me to build my dreams on your shoulders…. endless gratitude for your wisdom, courage, and dedication.

I get to show up everyday and witness the courage and resilience in others. It is a true honor and privilege.❤ (link in comments for full article).

Rhythm and movement can offer a visceral approach to healing by placing an emphasis on grounding, choice, and embodiment. Research that supports the use of rhythm and movement, relies heavily on the neuroscience of how trauma impacts the brain. Rhythm and movement can help with constriction, avoidance, isolation, helpless and lack of power.

It's that time again!! My next course on Healing with Trauma Informed Yoga is scheduled for March 2nd at Arizona Trauma Institute. Course is being offered in person with Covid precautions as well as online.

Course is open to all healing professionals, yoga teachers, mental health practitioners and anyone looking to enhance self care practices. CEUs offered to licensed clinicians. I've included tons of new research studies and more than 10 trauma informed yoga practices for participants. Sneak peak below👇

Daily gratitude practice has been part of my healing for over 10 years. This is a tool I often share with clients to help them in the recovery journey. Research has shown that a daily gratitude practice can lead to lowered rates of depression, improved sleep, less symptoms of illness and decreased stress. Cultivating gratitude is an active, embodied practice. It is always evolving and requires intentionality. Check out my web page, www.rootstoriseaz.com, for a list of gratitude practices to chose from.

Gratitude is my compass. It always takes me home❣
