You want to offer something that helps people come home to themselves with more than just words and cognitive processing… but with EMBODIED action and a safe container to transform.

Teach a powerful, nervous system-informed somatic movement class
Build a local, in-person community that unlocks healing beyond 1-1 work
Increase your monthly income with under 10 hours of work per week
Receive deep, ongoing support in your own healing and embodiment

What is Root Collective™?
Root Collective™ is a nervous-system–informed somatic movement and community healing model designed to help people come home to themselves—through their bodies, their breath, and the safety of collective experience.
At its heart, Root Collective™ bridges what traditional talk therapy and coaching often can’t reach on their own. It offers a pathway to regulate, release, and reconnect through embodied practice—held inside a gently structured, relationally safe, community-based container.
We believe healing isn’t meant to happen in isolation.
It happens through co-regulation, shared presence, and movement that helps the body finally exhale and release what it’s been holding.
Root Collective™ gives facilitators a way to expand their impact without expanding their burnout. It gives communities a place to gather, move, breathe, and transform together.
It gives you as a chapter leader a clear structure to grow, lead, and build sustainable income while honoring your own nervous system capacity.
Is Opening a Root Collective™ Chapter Right for You?
Opening a Root Collective™ chapter is for the therapist, coach, or practitioner who knows they’re meant to guide healing in a bigger, more embodied, and more sustainable way.
It’s right for you if…
You’re craving deeper work.
You love 1:1 work, but you feel the limits of cognitive processing alone. You want to help people shift at the level of body, breath, and lived experience—not just insight.
You desire community-based healing.
You believe in the power of co-regulation, shared presence, and group transformation. You’re ready to lead spaces where people feel connected, supported, and not alone.
You’re longing for more spaciousness.
Your current schedule might be full, scattered, or energetically heavy. You want to create recurring monthly income without adding more sessions or overextending your nervous system.
You’re ready to expand your impact.
You know you have more to offer. You want to teach, lead, host gatherings, and create experiences that help people transform in real time—not just talk about transformation.
You want a proven structure that still feels like you.
You don’t want to reinvent the wheel. You want a clear, embodied class structure, seasonal themes, and a supportive business model—while still adding your personality, creativity, and leadership.
You value nervous-system aligned entrepreneurship.
You want to grow a business without sacrificing your well-being. You want mentorship, community, and practices that support your regulation as a leader.
You’re lit up by the idea of bringing Root Collective™ to your community and you know the need for a healing community is present in your area.

Members Are Saying…
We’ll help you create this kind of space for your own students—where nervous systems soften and healing feels possible.
“I most look forward to the feeling of safety and calm I almost immediately find on my mat and in the space”
“I look forward to the space the class provides—a space where I can simply show up as I am, sit with myself, and explore whatever arises. The weekly themes have been incredibly powerful, often bringing insights and realizations I might not have uncovered on my own. Many of my “aha” moments come while journaling and reflecting on the theme, and then deepen as I connect with my body—listening to what it needs, and moving through self-massage or gentle movement. The experience challenges me on a deep, personal level and allows me to process emotions and thoughts in a meaningful way. ”
“The things that I’m learning and processing are being holistically experienced—somatically—not just like head knowledge that goes in one ear and out the other. It’s changed how I relate to my body and emotions on a regular basis. It’s literally given me the language and the muscle of actually tuning into my body and asking what it needs.”
Meet the Founder
Alissa Vreeland
- anxiety therapist, certified yoga teacher, creator of RC -
Alissa brings over a decade of experience in trauma healing, nervous system regulation, and embodied group work. She continues to see clients virtually through her private practice, supporting individuals across Pennsylvania.
She created RC Flow to help both practitioners and clients reconnect to themselves through the body—not just the mind.
Trained in nervous system-informed movement, somatic awareness, trauma-sensitive yoga, and breathwork, Alissa blends clinical insight with intuitive presence. Her approach is rooted in safety, honesty, and a deep respect for each person’s inner wisdom.
Root Collective was born from a gap Alissa noticed in both the therapy and movement worlds—a disconnect between mind, body, and spirit. Most modalities support one (maybe two), but rarely all three. Root Collective bridges that gap. She began teaching the class in Florida and it quickly grew into a full membership community.
Students describe Root Collective as the first space where they feel truly safe in their body—able to slow down, be seen without judgment, and support themselves exactly as they are while feeling held by others.
