Services Offered
Consultations at Vital Roots are comprehensive. We will discuss all aspects of the life experience and physical processes of the body as we learn which plants are likely to be your best allies in wellness.
Plants are chosen to support the physical body as well as the emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of being. Each plant has its own signature for how it will support the interplay between the microcosm of the body within the macrocosm of our world. The art of choosing the plant allies needed for any person at a given moment is to align the microcosmic environment with the larger picture of the cosmic whole. When we are synergistically aligned in this way, often a deep sense of wellness results.
We can also consider yoga practices, TriYoga Prana Vidya breath techniques or meditation approaches that may be helpful as well.
In addition, we offer personal meditation recordings with singing bowls contributing their healing gifts. These are recorded after a conversation to learn what your inner heart loves and what brings you into connection with your higher Self.
Our supportive offerings are designed around your personal needs.

Holistic
You are more than the body you live in. All the systems of the body are super important when we come together to map a way forward for well-being. For this reason, every system of the body is reviewed in our time together.
This is not all that you are, however. Your feelings, thoughts, current stage of life, personal dreams and desires all play into this moment, the offering of this moment. What do we need to hear, what is being whispered? Listening deeply allows for a holistic evaluation of what the body is telling us. We therefore, unearth the hidden messages your body knows and is trying to communicate. After all, symptoms are a way of expressing that something is out of balance. When we hear deeply, this message is received and answered with the balance that plants can bring into your life.
Are you ready to move toward balance?

Philosophy
Our elegant beautiful universe is a magical place. When we witness the elegance we see how nature has themes that often communicate subtle messages. The trees are the lungs of the Earth. Our lungs branch and extend outward like many tree branches. Our solar system revolves around a central star, the sun. Our bodies revolves around the central source of vitality within, the heart.
Holistic well-being is bringing harmony back to the system where these mirrored aspects of the cosmos have fallen out of balance due to stressors that have left the body out of alignment with the greater whole. When our bodies reflect the macrocosm, well-being expands.
For this reason, our holistic philosophy at Vital Roots is to learn from nature and embrace natures wisdom in our use of plants, yoga, breath and sound for the body.
Herbs are fabulous allies as we move toward mirroring the macrocosm of the universe and its remarkable ability to flow and thrive in the microcosm of our bodies. Yoga and Prana Vidya (breathing techniques) practices clean the physical body in subtle but powerful ways. Sound healing supports releasing somatic patterns in a gentle way. All are available through VItal Roots. So many ways to choose wellness!
“Risa (Chit Ananda) is a gifted healer. Her humility guides all her practices. She has supported me to come to balance through mental, physical and spiritual practices offered at Vital Roots. I am so grateful to have crossed paths with this amazing woman and her health and wellness business. I would recommend Risa and her practices to anyone struggling with chronic pain/illnesses, anxiety, depression, hormone imbalances, fatigue, or sensitivities. Risa is highly creative and intuitive. She has been an excellent spiritual guide and support to me for over 12 years. Many blessings!”
