Root & Ritual: Finding My Ground After Loss

This past May, I lost my father — and with him, a piece of my foundation. Grief has a way of shaking you at your roots, leaving you searching for something solid to stand on. In the quiet aftermath, I turned back to what I’ve always known: movement, breath, and ritual.

Root & Ritual was born from that space — a place to come home to myself when everything else felt uncertain. The grounding practices I teach — yoga, sauna, time in nature, mindful breath — I teach them, because they are also my own medicine.

Each ritual, no matter how small, is a way to reconnect: to my body, to my memories, to life continuing on.

Through this journey, I’ve learned that healing isn’t about moving on. It’s about rooting deeper — into gratitude, into presence, into love that never really leaves. Root & Ritual has become more than a wellness brand; it’s a living reminder that even in loss, there can be renewal.

Root & Ritual was born from this truth: that tending to yourself is an act of resilience. Grief taught me that grounding doesn’t mean standing still.

To everyone walking through grief, I see you.
