The tools you need to lead with truth and trust
Empowering women with tools to break painful cycles, build stronger relationships, and create a brighter future personally and professionally.
Rooted Relationships offers transformative programs that awaken your deepest wisdom and power.
Through compassion, claiming and curiosity, you learn to embrace the full spectrum of your emotions—anger, joy, hurt—while cultivating both the wisdom of the heart and the strength of the warrior.
This sacred balance leads to resilient self-trust, embodied inner authority, and relationships rooted in respect, authenticity, and love.
As women break barriers and redefine their path, these tools help you build a ship strong enough to weather any storm. I’ll guide you with the tools to build, repair, and strengthen your vessel, supporting you through every wave of the journey.
These tools empower women to step into their full potential, pursue their desires with bold confidence, and infuse the present moment with value, trust, beauty, and joy.
We learn to create a nurturing community, where women can connect, share, and learn from one another, nurturing a deep sense of belonging.
This work invites women to lead, thrive, and expand in every aspect of life, while cultivating resilience and inner strength on the journey.

“Before joining Emotional Alchemy, I was worried I was the only one who feels afraid to be myself. But being in this group normalizes my experiences and I feel joined on this journey as I peel away layers of anxiety and learn to be more myself. Taking risks inside the safety of the group, getting validation and sincere feedback, gives me the courage to bring my desires and needs more fully into my life! Since being in this group, I experience more connection and trust in myself and others in my life!”

At Rooted Relationships, we focus on creating change in the here and now while honoring the past that shaped you.
Think of it this way: you can’t learn to play baseball just by working out in the gym. To truly thrive on the field, you need to practice and apply your skills in real life. The same goes for building a life that flows authentically, bringing a sense of vitality and fulfillment—you must apply your healing and skills to the real-world dynamics of your relationships.
Why this approach works better than traditional therapy:
Fosters transformative experiences through present-moment awareness
Encourages self-reflection and clear observations to identify choices and get unstuck
Teaches practical tools you can use right away
Focuses on efficiency without sacrificing depth
Offers continuous guidance and support for personal growth and empowerment.
Focuses on aligning changes with your values and desires for meaningful progress.
Turns the process into an engaging and enjoyable experience, opening the door to more pleasure, even in the challenges
Provides transformative frameworks that go beyond traditional therapy methods.
Rooted Relationships is here to give you the skills and support you need to practice and grow in the real-life "game" of your relationships.
Case Study
One couple I worked with had been married for eight years but felt stuck in a cycle of disconnection. The wife longed for her husband to step forward with more presence, but she hesitated to ask for what she truly wanted. He, in turn, felt an so much pressure—internalizing shame and often hearing her desires as criticism.
Our journey together was one of healing and deep attunement. They learned to speak up with more authenticity, and hear the love beneath each other’s words. Now, they trust the container of their marriage, knowing they are safe to express, to be vulnerable, and to grow together. Their love is not just sustained—it is flourishing, filled with playfulness, passion, and a renewed sense of partnership.
Empowering Women to Lead with Strength and Clarity

This work goes beyond personal growth—it’s about creating leaders who inspire evolution and change.

Now is the time for women to take the lead, to embrace their power, and to shape the future.
With these tools, women can step confidently into roles of leadership, fostering growth, collaboration, and meaningful impact.
Case Study
This client, a CEO and guide in her field, already possessed a deep sense of inner alignment and wisdom. She knew her work had profound value, yet she found herself struggling to embody the authority that her role required. Some clients pushed boundaries, and complaints felt personal. In group settings, discussions often spiraled beyond her guidance, making it difficult to hold structure without feeling like she was shutting people down.
Through our work, she discovered that her leadership wasn’t about changing who she was—it was about fully stepping into the authority she already carried. She learned to translate her deep knowing into clear, compassionate boundaries that protected her energy, the integrity of her work and her clients.
Now, she holds her space with confidence and grace, knowing that leadership is not about making everyone happy, or about having hard and fast rules; true leadership about guiding with clarity and trust. Clients respect her leadership, her business is flourishing, and she no longer feels like she’s carrying the weight of others’ unconscious defenses and emotions. Instead, she stands firmly in her role, leading from a place of powerful alignment.
Rooted relationships are:
Grounded in truth and trust.
Open to growth and change.
Able to hold space for our primary emotions.
Based in interdependence.
Supportive of internal exploration and inquiry.
Willing to undergo discomfort for the sake of maturing.
Incorporating the needs of all involved.

I do see people individually. However, I mainly work with people who are also in a group program: Emotional Alchemy or Rooted Relationships Lab (Membership).

The short answer is now. Although I use my training in Clinical Psychology, I have expanded the frame and tools beyond therapy, based on my personal and professional observations of what is most effective for making change in our relationships.
There are two main reasons I have transitioned my practice to be a coaching practice.
Working as a coach allows me to work with people all over the world. Psychotherapy licenses are given by geographical territory and come with location parameters.
I find that coaching is both effective and satisfying for the ways that I view growth in relationship. Spending less time working with and analyzing the past and more time in the moment-to-moment experiences.
-
No. My writings are geared towards married couples because I specialize in helping to create long-lasting love. Many people do get married as part of their own process in looking for that type of relationship. However, it’s not required, by any means. In fact, getting these tools early in a relationship, before marriage, can help create the possibility of marriage for a couple.
I respect each couples choices in configuring the agreements or their relationahip however works for them. I do not have experience working with polyamory or open marriage arrangements. I would recommend finding someone who does.
