Rooted Healing for Real Life
At Root + Ritual, we believe the body knows how to heal — it simply needs the right conditions. Just like a plant needs sunlight, water, soil, and a thriving environment, your body depends on four foundational systems working in harmony: digestion and gut health, hormones and metabolism, immune function, and detoxification and elimination.
Modern life pulls us out of rhythm. We’ve lost our connection to the cycles of nature, to the healing wisdom passed down through generations, and to the simple rituals that nourish and restore. But healing doesn’t have to be complicated or overwhelming.
With the right support — and a rhythm you can actually follow — you can reclaim your energy, rebuild your health, and feel at home in your body again. We use a blend of functional medicine, herbal wisdom, and nature-based habits to help you and your family heal in a way that feels doable, meaningful, and rooted in real life.

Here's What Is Included:
It’s a conversation, not a checklist — and a chance to finally feel heard.
Your first appointment is where we begin to piece together your story — the rhythms, stressors, symptoms, and habits that brought you here. We’ll look at the whole picture, gently connect the dots, and start shaping a plan that feels realistic, supportive, and aligned with your life.
We’re a small practice with a personal touch — you’ll have the option to meet with either Rachel, our founder and family nurse practitioner, or Yana, our holistic nutritionist. Both bring a compassionate, root-cause approach and will guide you with care, clarity, and respect for your unique journey.

âś“ A personalized 2-week meal plan (when working with Yana)

âś“ Functional medicine summary and initial care plan including seasonal nutrition and lifestyle recommendations tailored to your needsÂ
âś“Â 30 days of portal access for follow-up questions and guidance
Â
