This feels like a big moment for me, y’all. The new website that I’ve been chipping away at for about 2 years is live. Reflecting on all of the things that have transpired for us as a nation and for me individually through this website’s creation is enough to make my head spin. I’ve been offering therapy since 2014 with the first several years working for the state within broken systems. Upon taking the leap out of these restrictive systems many years ago, I learned how much my work was being held back and how that negatively impacted what I was able to offer to help people heal. Insurance companies do fall under the umbrella of oppressive systems and have become the gatekeepers of our health. As a result, I have been sitting with the idea of seeing the clients through that are currently with me and on insurance for as long as they choose to be with me, but moving to a self-pay model for incoming clients. As my Aikido Grandmaster, Sensei Auman taught me, it is important to have humility. It’s also important to understand what we have to offer, and I’ve become increasingly aware through feedback and client progress that what I have to offer works for those who are drawn to work with me. This website is the culmination and expression of my growth, healing, and passion. Together, we will embark on a journey which holds a decolonized approach at the core and deeply considers you, your history, and focuses on helping you to reach the highest expression of yourself. Thank you so much for reading and thank you for all who have helped me step into this moment authentically. https://www.takerootwellnessllc.com
