Healing happens when you feel safe.
you are your own greatest healer.
We serve you in your home so you can travel deep within your body and be comfortable.
If you do not feel safe and serene in your home, we’ll arrange an alternative treatment space.
During our two-hour session, you can expect:
Guided somatic dialogue that assists you in attuning to your body, deepening your awareness of physical and emotional sensations.
External abdominal massage that facilitates circulation and release of the fascia throughout the diaphragm, hips, and digestive and reproductive organs.
Intra-vaginal pelvic floor therapy that invites your to inhabit your womb space, promotes health of reproductive tissues, balances your pelvic floor muscles, and opens space for trauma resolution .
Empathic guidance with receptivity to the innate wisdom of your unfolding journey.
The IV therapy component includes:
Skilled and compassionate nursing care, competent IV skills
BioCean is marine plasma and contains nearly identical mineral content as your blood plasma, as such it is readily available for our body to absorb and assists in many health conditions.
IV vitamin C has been used for nearly 50 years across
IV therapy may be combined with body work, or done in a separate session.
Our sessions unfold organically to meet your energy on any given day. We incorporate somatic (body) dialogue and manual therapy into each visit.
Our body work sessions vary in length depending on what your body and spirit are needing on any given day. You can expect to spend 90-120 minutes with us. We begin with a physical and emotional check-in, and then move into the somatic dialogue. This guided mindfulness practice facilitates a conversation between your energetic and physical body. We weave this level of attention and deep listening into the duration of the body work, so you can expect a dynamic experience - note: this is not just a lay down and check out massage, but rather a therapeutic opportunity to lean into what is present in your life in a safe and held container.
We begin with the external abdominal massage. This gets your blood and lymph circulation moving and invites you to move deeper into your body. Before moving onto the intra vaginal pelvic floor work, you are encouraged to really check in with what your emotional and physical body are needing. Our goal is for your nervous system to say yes to receiving the pelvic work, not just your mind. The depth of transformation that can come out of this work is only accessible when your body is truly ready to receive. We may spend several sessions together before this is possible. And that is okay! This is about you and your journey toward health and healing.

Somatic Dialogue*
This guided mindfulness meditation -- an embodiment practice -- allows space for your subconscious to speak to you through your body. *Somatic dialogue works in conjunction with our other treatments.
Tended Root offers community-centered care that respects our innate human intelligence. We offer our humility and reverence for the indigenous practices that guide our care. We work with and give back to the folks and local organizations that are relentlessly disrupting the injustices that exist within the healthcare industry and impede our BIWOC communities from accessing safe and nurturing care.
