Service Description

In a society that often misunderstands grief, finding a community that truly understands can make all the difference. At Healing Roots, we honor the ancient tradition of gathering in a circle, where each voice is heard and every story respected. In this sacred space, we hold each other’s grief with compassion, fostering a supportive environment for sharing, healing, and comfort. Rooted in the belief that grief is best tended to when witnessed by others, our circle offers an opportunity to be seen and heard without judgment. We incorporate gentle mind, body, and spirit grief practices, such as breathwork, light movement, and guided meditation, to support holistic healing. Ritual is an integral part of our gatherings, helping us create meaningful moments that honor both our grief and our loved ones. Inspired by the natural rhythms of the seasons, our gatherings align the grieving process with the cyclical energies of nature, fostering a deeper connection to the shifts within and around us. Together, we cultivate a sacred community where shared experiences of loss are honored, and our hearts can begin to heal. Meet your guide, Andrea Gerrard: "I am a dedicated yoga teacher, massage therapist, and integrative grief guide, facilitating sacred gatherings that honor the rhythms of nature. Through special gatherings, circles, and personalized sessions, I invite participants to reconnect with their true nature, with the earth, and with one another, fostering a sense of community and belonging as they explore the path to wellness in harmony with nature’s rhythms. Holding a master’s degree in education, certifications in yoga and massage therapy, and training in meditation, Ayurveda, energy medicine, and restorative yoga, I blend these disciplines to create sacred experiences that support balance, healing, and growth. As an integrative grief guide, I draw upon nature’s wisdom to help individuals navigate the complexities of loss, encouraging them to trust in the natural cycles of change and renewal."
