our story

To all the healers and teachers who enter our doors,

Thank you.

For being here and for bringing your talents and hearts every day
to help people find the best within themselves.

For being present and intentioned with each and every customer
who has trusted us with their journey.

For being a great member of our community, contributing skills, talents, knowledge and
positive energy in making our community healthy and abundant.

The idea of Root was planted over ten years ago,
as I was going through my own healing crisis overcoming a very invasive cancer.
Although there were many fear pictures with the diagnosis (my mother and aunt
had died from the same), my intuition led me to seek out more ‘life-affirming’
approaches to my treatment besides surgery and radiation.

It was during this journey that I met some of the most amazing healers in
massage, energy work, yoga, naturopathy and chiropractic that became my
life-long friends and guides through this experience and changed my beliefs
about the power of intention forever.

While I never acted on it at the time, I always wondered what could
happen if these amazing healers were offered an environment that supported them and
allowed them to focus primarily on bringing their precious gifts to the world.

So, a decade later, I welcome you to Root.

This is my gift back to the spirit of those who supported me in my journey.
And it is my sincerest intention that Root supports you in yours.

Thank you for joining us in our mission,

Pat Johnson
