About Root & Rise Somatics
“You are never far from the infinite."
Just as redwood trees create vast, interconnected root systems that allow them to rise hundreds of feet toward the light, humans thrive when we're deeply rooted in safety, belonging, and connection.
Many of us have been searching in the dark—grasping for stability, avoiding our own light, staying small when we're built for so much more. Without strong roots of self-compassion and inner trust, we can't access our full potential or live the expansive life we're meant for.
At Root & Rise Somatics, we work together to:
Root you deeply in safety, self-love, and unshakeable inner knowing
Expand your capacity for joy, connection, and authentic expression
Rise confidently into your dreams and truest self
Through somatic practices that honor your body's wisdom, you'll reconnect with your innate guidance system—that part of you that knows exactly how magnificent you're meant to be. Like the mighty redwoods, when your roots are strong and interconnected, there's no limit to how tall you can grow.
About Debby
Welcome! I'm Debby. I'm so glad you're here.
My work is rooted in the belief that you are not a problem to fix—your true nature is already whole and complete. But if you are here, you probably have forgotten this truth somewhere along the way and are searching for some help.
Maybe you’re in a high stress job that takes up all of your time.
Maybe you’re trying to juggle the pressures of career, family, & the chaos of politics, climate crisis, and social justice.
Maybe you’re trying to manage all the internal struggles of being a human in a body that is getting older and constantly changing in a world that glorifies youth and perfectionism.
It’s easy to believe that you need to be fixed, changed, and improved.
I spent years, well let’s be honest, decades of my life trying to fix myself, believing if I could fix this one thing, I'd be happy. That one thing would turn into one more thing and then another thing and so on.
Sound familiar?
When I started meditating, I discovered that my thoughts weren't truth and my emotions didn't have to dictate my experience. There was another part of me that was steady, stable, strong, and infinitely compassionate. I got really good at accessing this place while in meditation.
I also got really good at spiritual bypassing - using meditation to avoid pain.
Everything changed when I discovered somatic stress release. Learning to be in relationship with my emotions, rather than escaping them, freed me from the endless loop of self-fixing. Now, I help others do the same.
If you're ready to reconnect with your body, release old patterns, and come home to yourself, you're in the right place.
I would be honored to guide you into a new relationship with your body, mind, and heart. I would love to help you develop a trust in your body’s ability to heal, your mind’s ability to observe, and your heart’s capacity to open and hold all that life brings you.
