Root to Rise:

Living Well with Chronic Illness

Mindful self-management support for those navigating health challenges to shift from surviving to thriving

⭐ Live group & self-paced course options available ⭐

What if you could feel more calm, supported, and confident along your health journey?

Root to Rise is where you can shift from surviving to thriving, build mindful self-management skills, and deepen your self-compassion with personalized support along the way.

Navigating chronic health challenges can be overwhelming and lonely, whether you’re facing a new diagnosis or have been managing your condition for a while. Root to Rise is a 7-week mindful self-management program, offered in both a live group format and a self-paced online course.

Living well and living with a health condition aren’t mutually exclusive. Wellness is incredibly personal and encompasses the physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual. It is about so much more than just managing symptoms.

Living a whole life while facing health challenges is possible and you get to define what that looks like. But you don’t have to do it alone.

In Root to Rise, you can expect a unique, integrative approach that blends empowering education, guided self-reflection, and accessible embodiment practices.

Each week, you’ll learn practical strategies to improve your everyday life through key topics like:

  • Managing fatigue

  • Learning your body’s cues

  • Getting organized + easing brain fog

  • Supporting sleep

  • Handling stress + the hard days

  • Making aligned choices

What past Root to Rise participants say:

  • “I chose to join Root to Rise because I was in the midst of experiencing a very difficult, lonely, and painful season of life. I wanted to find ways to connect with my body, give myself rest, build resilience, and engage in physical practices that supported well-being.”

  • “The information was SUPER helpful yet not overwhelming. I learned new ideas to help manage my MS when I thought I knew it all after 18 years. The environment felt truly open and loving which feels essential to sharing the broken bits and better figuring out how to heal or deal.”

  • "What Lindsay teaches will make your life better, easier with a shift in mindset. After sessions I felt more relaxed in my body and a lighter load in my mind.

    For me Root to Rise was: gentle guidance in structuring self compassion."

  • “I would recommend Root to Rise because it forces you to take a rest and pause in your own busy life to examine yourself from the inside out.

    You can learn about which parts of your life need to be pruned away, which are ripe for growth, which are lying dormant, and which are in need of nurturing in order to grow healthy and strong.”

  • “As a person living with chronic anxiety and depression, it can be difficult to decide what the next right thing is. Medication and therapy are great, and there will likely always be a place for them in my life.

    However, Root to Rise offered me an opportunity to consider my own mental and physical health and wellbeing and the complex transactions taking place between my self, my environments, and my daily routines and rituals.”

  • That really depends on your life’s rhythms in this season and what kind of support you’re looking for!

    Live groups meet for 7 weeks (typically consecutively) on the same day/time each week. Some folks really enjoy this predictable structure and gentle accountability. This option also offers you the opportunity to connect with others navigating similar experiences; ask me questions in real-time; and have a more guided experience.

    If your schedule is unpredictable or you’d just like the flexibility to move through content at your own pace, then the self-guided course might be a better fit.

    Both options include a 1-to-1 session with me because I want to make sure you get the most out of your Root to Rise experience!

  • Yes, definitely! I’ve intentionally included a 1-to-1 session with both the group program and online course. You’ll have my undivided attention for exploring questions about content, coaching support for a specific issue/desired next step, or guided movement and mindfulness practices.

    You will also have access to discounted 1-to-1 support packages, if you’d like to continue working together.

  • Yes! This offering is completely virtual and participants can join from anywhere. If you are joining the group program, just make sure the time difference suits your schedule — group times are set to EST.

    The online course can be accessed at any time.

  • All the creative resources, including the printable Root to Rise Toolkit, are yours to keep and return to whenever you’d like!

    Your online course access lasts for the lifetime of the course (which is the foreseeable future)!
