ABOUT US

 Roots of Her is a communal healing program exploring what healing can look like when spiritual, energetic, ancestral, and culturally responsive healing modalities are more fully integrated into Western clinical spaces.

Our work centers communities impacted by systemic harm, violence, exploitation, displacement, and disconnection from culturally rooted healing traditions. We create trauma-informed spaces for grounding, restoration, connection, community, wholeness, and wellness.

Roots of Her was founded by Rebecca Woodward, a clinical social worker dually trained in both Western therapeutic approaches and spiritual, energetic, and ancestral healing practices.

Through her own journey and work with others, Rebecca recognized that many people seeking healing need more than what traditional systems alone currently offer. True healing often requires tending to the whole person — mind, body, spirit, relationships, culture, and community.

Roots of Her exists to help bridge those worlds while honoring both clinical integrity and the wisdom carried through ancestral, communal, embodied, and culturally rooted healing traditions.

Our work is informed by emerging research and evolving conversations surrounding the nervous system, physiology, trauma, embodiment, intergenerational stress, cultural and spiritual considerations, and the mind-body connection. As scientific understanding continues expanding, many leaders, researchers, and pioneers across disciplines are increasingly exploring more integrative approaches to healing and human wellbeing.

Through restorative programming, communal healing spaces, educational offerings, and emerging research initiatives, our work supports survivors of violence and intergenerational trauma while helping expand conversations surrounding healing modalities that consider indigenous and cultural wisdom, in addition to modern science.
