I believe in motherhood and I believe in birth. I believe in creativity and the power of sharing our stories. And I believe that we get to choose our reactions to any given circumstances. Welcome. I'm glad you're here.
The inspiration for “The Root” is two fold. Shortly after I bought the business, I was attending a workshop on the Chakra system, or the subtle energetic bodies often described in yoga, meditation and Ayurvedic practices. I had been searching my mind for a name that would feel inclusive of all types of families, where a community could be built around perinatal wellness and where all parents would feel safe and seen. The Root Chakra is located at the base of your spine and is formed during birth and infancy. It has everything to do with the feelings of safety and security, grounding, trust and letting go of fear. I could think of nothing more perfect for a studio with a mission to support building the foundations for new families, through education support and inclusivity…. and so The Root was born. In addition, you will notice in the smaller room of the studio there is a beautiful stained glass picture in the ceiling of actual plant roots. When I realized this, it was the final sign that this is what the studio was destined to be called.

This personal blog stems from the idea that Everyday we have a CHOICE. A choice to be happy. A choice to choose our actions and reactions. A choice to be kind to others and to ourselves. Even in the mess of life, love, friendship and motherhood. And each choice, for better or worse, propels us forward. Here you’ll read stories about motherhood, everyday life and all those little choices. The mess, the good, the bad, and the in-between.
