Root&Rise
I didn't create Root & Rise because I found the answer.
I created it because I realized there isn't just one.
For years, I believed healing was about finding the missing piece.
The next book.
The next certification.
The next breakthrough.
Instead, I discovered something much simpler.
Every body speaks a different language.
Healing isn't about finding the right method. It's about learning to understand your own.
That realization changed how I healed, how I work, and ultimately became the foundation of Root & Rise Embodied.
Who am I
Healing became personal long before it became my profession.
I'm Alicia.
A mom, a guide, and someone deeply curious about what it means to be human.
For years, I searched for answers outside of myself. I explored different approaches to healing, studied the body from many perspectives, and kept asking the same question:
Why does something work so well for one person, yet do very little for someone else?
Eventually, I realized I wasn't searching for another modality.
I was searching for a way back to myself.
That experience changed everything.
Today, my work is rooted in one simple belief:
Your body isn't a problem to solve. It's a relationship to rebuild.
How I am Wired
NoI've always been fascinated by patterns—why we respond differently to the same experiences, why healing looks different for every person, and why no two journeys are ever the same.
Human Design and astrology became meaningful parts of my own journey because they offered another language for understanding ourselves with greater compassion.
They don't define who we are.
They simply offer another lens through which we can better understand ourselves.
That perspective continues to shape how I work today—with curiosity instead of judgment, collaboration instead of competition, and the belief that every person deserves an approach that honors their individuality.
The Foundation of My Work
No single approach holds all the answers.
That's why my work is built on an integrative foundation—bringing together body-based therapies, nervous system education, movement, energetic practices, and personalized insight to support each person's unique healing journey.
Rather than following a one-size-fits-all formula, I draw from different disciplines to help you reconnect with yourself, build self-trust, and discover what your body responds to.

My Philosophy
These aren't the work.
They're the tools I use to support the person in front of me.
Because no two bodies are the same.
No two stories are the same.
And no two healing journeys should be either.
The tools may change.
The philosophy never does.
What I Believe
Your body isn't a problem to solve.
It's a relationship to rebuild.
I believe your body is incredibly intelligent.
I believe many of the patterns we carry today were created to help us adapt, survive, and protect ourselves.
I believe healing isn't about forcing change.
I believe it's about creating enough safety to reconnect with yourself and discover what your body has been communicating all along.
Healing isn't one-size-fits-all.
Every person deserves the opportunity to discover what truly works for their body.
My role isn't to heal you.
My role is to walk beside you as you build the capacity to trust yourself again.
THE WELLNESS GROVE
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.
Let’s Begin
You don't have to know exactly what you need before you begin.
You don't have to have all the answers.
You don't have to do this alone.
You simply have to be willing to take the first step.
Whether your journey begins with Spinal Flow, an Embodied Blueprint, or simply a conversation, we'll start where you are and discover what works for your body.
I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
