About Alicia

I don’t believe your body is something you need to fix.

I’m Alicia. The human behind Root&Rise Embodied.

I came to this work through my own relationship with the body, healing, movement, and the realization that understanding yourself intellectually only gets you so far.

Sometimes you can know exactly why you do what you do and still find yourself doing the same damn thing. That gap between knowing and embodying is where a lot of my work lives.

I didn’t end up here because I thought the body needed another thing to fix.

I kept coming back to the same question:

What changes when we actually include the body in the conversation?

Because you can have all the insight in the world and still notice yourself bracing, shutting down, overthinking, people-pleasing, holding your breath, or repeating the same damn pattern.

That curiosity is what led me deeper into Somatic, Bodywork, Breathwork, Yoga&movement, Nervous system work, Human Design, Astrology, Gene Keys, Sound, and so many other practices.

Over time, all those pieces started making sense as part of one bigger picture.

I’m less interested in giving you another framework to memorize and more interested in helping you understand how you actually experience yourself.

We work with what's actually here.

I’m not interested in forcing you through a formula or deciding what your body “should” be doing.

We slow things down enough to notice what’s happening underneath the surface- in your body, your patterns, your choices, and the way you move through your life.

Sometimes that looks like bodywork. Sometimes it looks like coaching breath, movement, sound, or holding space for your journey.

The point isn’t to throw you every tool I have at you.

The point is to meet what’s actually present and work from there.

I want you to leave with a deeper relationship with yourself-not more shit to overthink.

I’m a real person before I‘m a practitioner

Outside of sessions, I’m probably moving my body, overthinking about something and then laughing at myself about it, spending time outside with my son, day-dreaming, learning something new, or following whatever weird little thread my brain is stuck on that week.

I’m curious, a little goofy, I swear, I use metaphors for basically everything, and I care a lot about making those work feel human.

You don’t have to show up polished here.

You just have to show up as you are.

Root & Rise Embodied is how I support the individual.

The Wellness Grove is how we're supporting an entire community.

Co-founded with my business partner, Clementine Lindley, The Wellness Grove is a collaborative coworking space for wellness practitioners currently being built in Billings, Montana, with the intention of opening in Fall 2026.

Together, we're creating a place where wellness practitioners can build sustainable businesses, collaborate instead of compete, and grow within a community that believes we're stronger together.

The Wellness Grove isn't simply shared office space.

It's a place where trusted referrals happen naturally, ideas are shared openly, and practitioners support one another while serving our community with integrity, generosity, and heart.

Because no one practitioner has every answer.

We believe people deserve access to the support that's right for them, and practitioners deserve a community that supports their growth just as much as their business.

Root & Rise Embodied is one expression of that vision.

The Wellness Grove is the community we're building around it.

Pre-registration is now open.
