I help women reconnect with their bodies and restore balance through mind-body work, herbal supports, and myofunctional therapy when appropriate— so they can feel grounded, energized, and at home in themselves.
About Melanie
Hello, I’m Melanie, the founder of Root 2 Rise Wellness. My passion for natural healing began in childhood, inspired by stories like Strega Nona and early experiences with plants. These formative moments sparked a lifelong connection to nature and its restorative powers.
However, life led me away from these roots. By 2013, I faced significant health challenges, including digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, and anxiety- even going a semester of college with little to no sleep. Seeking healing, I left my speech pathology job in New York and embarked on a transformative journey abroad. Living in a refurbished chicken coop with no internet, a compost toilet, and fellow plant enthusiasts, I immersed myself in the study of herbalism and holistic practices. This period rekindled my connection to nature and set me on a path to help others find balance and wellness.
