Rooted not rushed.
Ditch the Overwhelm. Embrace the Wisdom of the Seasons.
At Root + Ritual, we believe true healing doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from doing what matters, in rhythm with the seasons and in alignment with your body’s natural design.
Our membership helps individuals and families step out of the chaos of information overload and into a grounded, nature-based way of living. Instead of rigid protocols or chasing symptoms, we return to what’s timeless: nourishment, rest, movement, time in nature, connection, and care for the nervous system. These foundational habits are simple and powerful, especially when layered gently over time.
We’ll help you clarify your focus so you’re never left wondering where to begin. Each season centers on one guiding theme, supported by thoughtfully crafted guides, group visits, and gentle weekly reminders that keep you moving forward without decision fatigue.
Whether you’re in a season of survival or ready to go deeper, there’s a path for you here. Our layered approach lets you choose the pace that fits your life and family. Wellness doesn’t have to feel like another task on your list. It can feel like coming home.
Root and Ritual Functional Medicine is a good fit for you if:Â
✓ You want natural, holistic options for yourself and your family that work for real life — and you appreciate modern tools too!
You’re drawn to food as medicine, herbal remedies, and daily rhythms that support your body — without extreme protocols or rigid rules. You value simple, effective options rooted in nature, while also appreciating modern tools like labwork and access to high-quality supplements.
âś“ You want to understand your symptoms and lab results.
You’re done feeling dismissed. You're ready to dig deeper than "everything looks normal" and finally connect the dots between symptoms, labs, and deeper patterns.
At Root + Ritual, all labs — from standard bloodwork to advanced functional testing — are available through our Rupa Lab Shop at wholesale pricing.
Basic lab interpretation is included in your membership. Functional and advanced labs are reviewed during a follow-up appointment (60 minutes recommended for deeper testing).
✓ You’re done with quick fixes — and ready for lasting change for your whole family.
You want a path you can actually follow — one that fits real life. You’re willing to put in the effort, but you don’t want to waste energy on trendy hacks or one-size-fits-all advice. You’re looking for clear, strategic steps that support true healing and help your family thrive.

Who This Is For:Â
The Root + Ritual community is for families who are ready to slow down, reconnect, and focus on what matters. You don’t need to have it all figured out—you just need to be willing to take small, steady steps rooted in nature and rhythm.
Our approach may not be the best fit if you're seeking a quick fix, daily supplement protocols (without lifestyle changes), or conventional symptom-based care. We believe healing takes time, curiosity, and community—and that’s exactly what we offer.
Healing was never meant to be done alone.
You don’t have to carry this alone. You were made for rhythm, rest, and relationship.
At Root & Ritual, we’re returning to the way healing has always happened: in community, in relationship with the land, and through small, consistent shifts that honor your season of life. Our care is rooted in the principles of natural medicine—nourishment, sunlight, sleep, movement, breath, herbal allies, and seasonal alignment. These are the tools our ancestors used, and they still work. We simply help you remember them.
This is a place where families heal together. Whether you're a mom trying to reclaim your energy, a partner seeking more grounded support, or a parent navigating burnout and bedtime routines, you’ll find a clear path here. Our framework offers flexibility without confusion and structure without pressure. You’ll be supported by a like-hearted community that understands this isn't just about checking health boxes—it’s about building a life that feels good to live in.

have questions?
We Have Answers
do i need to live in Virginia?
Yes. Currently, our membership is only open to patients or families who live in Virginia and have a valid Virginia driver's license. We like to keep our community local to foster more engagement and to share local resources.Â
is this membership for individuals or families?
One membership includes your entire household (ages 2+). We’ve tried the per-person model in the past—and honestly, we didn’t love it. Wellness is a family affair, and your membership should reflect that.
Appointments, however, are still billed per person, as each individual deserves focused, personalized care.
do i have to be super "crunchy" or already healthy to join?
Not at all. Root & Ritual is designed for real people in real life—whether you’re just beginning to explore natural health or you already make your own sourdough bread.
We offer a wide range of solutions and help you land on habits and a protocol that feels good. Some patients want to make their own herbal medicine and some patients want to purchase supplements on Fullscript. We're here for all seasons and all needs.
We offer a layered approach rooted in timeless principles, not perfection. You’ll find support for wherever you’re starting from, with room to grow at your own pace. Progress over pressure, always.
are labs or lab interpretations included?
All labs — from standard bloodwork (CBC, CMP, thyroid, lipids) to advanced functional testing (hormones, stool, nutrient panels) — are available through our Rupa Lab Shop at wholesale pricing. You may order labs for yourself or your family whenever it feels right for your care.
Standard labs: Interpretation is included in your membership.
Advanced / functional labs: Interpretation is provided within a follow-up appointment. Because these often require deeper review and plan adjustments, we recommend a 60-minute appointment for the most thorough support.
Â
what if i miss a live call or work during the Q&AÂ time?
No problem—life is full, and we get it. Members can submit their questions ahead of time, and we’ll answer them during the live Q&A. The full recording will be added to the library, so you can catch up (and get the support you need) on your own time. Showing up live is welcome—but never required.
what's the time commitment like?
This membership is designed to work with real life. Whether you have 5 minutes or an hour, the seasonal structure helps you take meaningful steps at your own pace.
what's the deal with seasonal guides?
The guides are designed to help you focus on what matters most right now, without getting overwhelmed by everything at once. You’ll get practical habit suggestions, food and herbal strategies, lifestyle tips, recipes, and journal prompts—all written in a way that’s calming, clear, and rooted in both science and seasonal wisdom.
can i join mid-season?
Yes! The membership is open year-round. You'll gain access to the current seasonal guide right away, and you can start using the tools and attending calls as soon as you join.
can i cancel anytime?
 Yes! You can cancel anytime by giving notice before your next billing date. One final payment will be charged, and you’ll keep access through that billing cycle.
how do i cancel my membership?
We get it—seasons change. To cancel your membership, simply send us a quick message through the patient portal or email us. We’ll confirm your cancellation and let you know when your access will end.Â
