Every few years, the wellness world finds a new toy, something shiny to sell. We’ve seen it all: somatic work, the vagus nerve, breathwork, sound baths, cold plunges, inner child healing, all being marketed to “ heal “ the nervous system in just one session. Someone mentions it once, and suddenly everyone’s offering it without understanding it.

When we opened our doors to the public in February 2020, Rooted was already a trauma-informed studio, not because it was trendy, but because it was truth. Everything we do is built through the lens of trauma, how we speak, how we set up rooms, how we hold space, how we move, how we teach.

We don’t sugarcoat.
We don’t chase trends.
We don’t change our integrity to fill the room differently.
We stay rooted.

Because being trauma-informed isn’t a vibe, it’s a responsibility.
It’s not something you learn from TikTok.
It’s not a certification you grab on a weekend.
It’s deep study, neurobiology, physiology, psychology, lived experience.
It’s understanding how trauma reshapes the brain, rewires the body, and redefines safety.

If you want to be part of this revolution to help people at the root the lease study. Learn. Do the real work. Don’t become a disservice to your people by skipping the depth that keeps them safe.

We’ve been trauma-informed since day one, and our 2026 trainings are designed for those who actually want to do this right.

Don’t become another buzzword.
Be part of the change.

We’re expanding Rooted in 2026 with donation based community music spaces designed for nervous system safety, not performance.

Rooted Community Guitar and Rooted Drum and Meditation Circle are for people navigating trauma, PTSD, recovery, and mental health challenges who may not otherwise have access to music education or regulated creative spaces.

These are beginner friendly groups. No experience required. No pressure to perform. Participation is always optional. Rhythm and sound are used as grounding tools the body can borrow when regulation feels hard to find.

Throughout the year, Rooted will also host optional community open mics offering gentle space to share spoken word, art, music, or any creative expression you have planted roots in as part of your journey with us. Sharing is always a choice, never an expectation.

Guitars and drums provided on site, you can always bring your own.

Space will be limited! Stay tuned for schedules to be posted.

All offerings are by donation making this accessible to all

If you’ve ever wondered why people shut down, lash out, freeze, fawn, dissociate, or withdraw, this training will make everything finally make sense.

This Training for humans who work with humans.
Nurses, teachers, parents, yoga instructors, therapists, caregivers, police officers, social workers, community leaders — and anyone who wants to understand people through the nervous system instead of judgment.

We’ll explore:
• what trauma actually is
• how trauma changes the brain
• fight/flight/fawn/freeze/flop/fragment/dissociation
• what dysregulation looks like in real time
• how trauma shapes relationships
• emotional survivorship
• trauma-informed communication
• how to support without triggering
• nervous system tools you can use immediately

This is not a certification but it is a new lens for how you move through the world and the people you interact with.

Donation: $199 with a $50 deposit due a registration. Pre-registration is required on Square https://rooted-holistic-center.square.site/

donations can be made through Venmo
Bundles are available if you’re enrolling in more than one training in ‘26

Rooted Through Recovery is a trauma-informed, neuroscience-based recovery practice I developed after three decades of trying to heal in spaces that were never built for people like us. It’s a completely original 12-step-inspired framework designed for survivors of trauma, addiction, chronic dysregulation, and anyone who’s rebuilding a life from the inside out.

Our weekly Rooted Through Recovery meetings happen every Sunday at 10 AM, in person and on Zoom.

These aren’t traditional meetings.
There’s no hierarchy, no shame, no pressure to share, and no forcing a “one-size-fits-all” model on people whose stories are anything but simple.

Each week we explore the deeper layers of healing through nervous system science, embodiment, reflection, and community connection — honoring the truth that trauma is the root, and recovery grows from safety, self-understanding, and compassion.

If you’re looking for a place where your story isn’t minimized, where your trauma isn’t dismissed, and where your healing is honored as a whole-body, whole-life process, join us.

Rooted Through Recovery. Sundays at 10 AM.
In person and on Zoom.
Come as you are.

I left the cactus alone at the studio, no pruning, no overwatering, no forcing it to bloom, just light, time, and space.

Six months later, she’s full of blossoms that are wild, radiant, unapologetic.

It reminded me so much of what happens inside Rooted.
Healing can’t be hurried, growth doesn’t come from constant tending or perfection…it comes from safety, rest, and trust in your own rhythm.

Sometimes the most beautiful transformations happen when you stop trying to bloom on command and just let yourself be held by the right environment. That’s what this space is. A place where you can simply be until your own timing unfolds.

Tamara McGovern, BSN, RN, is a woman with certifications in Yoga, Reiki, Guided Meditation, Thai Massage. Her journey began in 1997 after the loss of her grandfather, where she found solace in holistic practices. After becoming a nurse in 2001, she saw the need for a holistic approach in healthcare, especially in oncology. Incorporating Reiki and guided meditation into her practice, she witnessed their profound impact on patients’ healing journeys. Drawing from her own recovery experiences, Tamara found healing through Reiki, meditation, Thai massage, and yoga. She studied with Rooted in 2023 and 2025, and most recently began studying somatic therapy to further her knowledge and practice. As a Student Practitioner of Transformative Touch Somatic Therapy , she is I’m looking for Practice Clients!

As part of her journey to becoming a Certified Somatic Therapist, she is currently offering free sessions as she completes training. These no-cost sessions will be available through the end of 2025, and she’d love to work with people who are open to exploring this gentle, body-based approach to healing and self-discovery.You don’t need to know anything about somatic therapy to participate. All that’s required is curiosity, openness, and a willingness to explore what your body might be trying to communicate.

Trauma lives in rhythm, breath, and the patterns our bodies learned to survive. That’s why we’re adding donation-based guitar and drum nervous system work to our trauma informed offerings at Rooted in 2026.

Guitar offers something uniquely regulating, vibration, repetitive strumming, and a steady cadence the body naturally settles into. These patterns work directly with the nervous system, rebuilding internal safety after years of dysregulation.

For trauma survivors (PTSD, CPTSD, freeze, dissociation, shutdown), guitar becomes a steady rhythm to borrow, a safe embodied task, gentle left–right stimulation, and a non-verbal way to release what’s been held inside.

These practices also support ADHD, autism, OCD, anxiety, and other forms of neurodivergence or mental health overwhelm. Predictable rhythm reduces sensory overload, organizes attention, and lets the body regulate without eye contact, social pressure, or talking.

And honestly, you also learn something really cool, which might open a door you never expected.

Rooted will begin weekly, donation-based group guitar and rhythm lessons with on-site instruments, taught by a full-time musician with 40+ years of playing, 30 years of instruction, and deep theory experience. If you want to go deeper, you can continue 1:1 privately — also donation-based.

We’ll also offer weekly handheld drum circles using simple frame-style grounding drums for steady pulse work.

And several times a year, we’ll host gentle, zero-pressure open mic nights for anyone who wants to share what they’ve been learning, or simply watch others find their voice.

More details soon.
All instruments provided on site.
