What if community is the missing piece in your healing journey?
You’re not the only one who’s felt like something’s missing.
Nearly every person who enters Root Collective says a version of:
“I’ve been looking for this forever… and I didn’t even know what ‘this’ was until I felt it.”
You don’t need to explain why you're drawn to this space. Your body already knows.
We’ll hold you as you arrive, unravel, surrender, and remember…
Softening can feel scary when you're used to living in survival mode. That’s why we do this work together. Because something settles when you're surrounded by others who are learning to slow down too. When you hear someone take a deep exhale, you breathe a little deeper. Your body feels a little safer. It becomes easier to notice what’s really going on—in your body, your heart, your mind, and your nervous system.
Our classes, events, and retreats invite you to strengthen your muscle of somatic awareness. To notice what you feel, when you feel it—and to learn how to move, breathe, and release what’s being held.
Root Collective is a a community, a movement, and an invitation find safety in stillness and belonging.
It’s where we go to soften, to reclaim our sense of agency and self-trust, and to be surrounded by like-hearted others choosing to stop holding it all alone. To move, breathe, feel and heal in community.
Is your body telling you that it’s time for a change?
How many of these sound like you:
You’re craving community, but not the kind that stays on the surface. You want depth. Realness. Resonance.
You miss feeling lit up by your life — and want to reconnect to your own spark.
You long to be around others who inspire you just by being who they are.
You want to feel grounded, but your nervous system often feels like it’s in survival mode.
You know your best self — the most present, patient, joyful version of you — comes out when you feel seen and supported… but the support you need feels hard to find.
You’re tired of pretending, performing, or powering through. You want somewhere to soften.
You’re not looking for one more thing on your calendar. You’re looking for something that changes how you feel in your life.

Hi, I’m Alissa
Mom, Wife, Friend, Anxiety Therapist &
Founder of Root Collective™
I know what it’s like to try to get through the day — going through the motions, showing up for everyone else, and wondering when life will start to feel like yours again.
I’ve been there — doing all the “right” things to feel better… and still finding myself stuck in the same survival loop.
Craving more connection, more expression, to be more myself and feel more alive — and not knowing how to get there.
Root Collective is the space I always wished existed — a place where your body and your mind are both invited to the conversation.
Where we move to release.
Reflect to reconnect.
And gather in community that feels real, honest, and deeply nourishing.
I realized others were craving this same space, so I decided to create it.

Feeling called to this work? Start a Community!
Root Collective is growing and we’re excited to bring RC communities to new cities! As a community leader, you can fill a growing gap in the field of wellness: a space for people to gather, belong, move, breathe, and befriend their bodies as they work to regulate their nervous systems and release pent-up stress and emotions.
If you’ve been feeling like you’re ready for a change, you’re craving leading your own healing community, and you believe in the power of somatics, relationships, and co-regulation… consider leading an RC community in your area.
Community Love
