"Rooted & Rising was a beautiful and transformative experience that I will carry with me long after it ended."
Participant, Rooted & Rising, Spring 2026
"Sharing our stories, connecting through our common humanity, and witnessing one another’s journeys was truly a gift. There is something incredibly powerful about healing alongside others who are willing to show up authentically and do the work together. I know I found healing in that collective experience."
Participant, Rooted & Rising, Spring 2026
"I am deeply grateful to Christena and Kelly for creating such a safe, supportive environment and for guiding us through meaningful topics, reflections, and meditations each week. There is immense value in coming together in a space of safety to explore and speak about the very things that once made us feel unsafe."
Participant, Rooted & Rising, Spring 2026
"The environment is welcoming and supportive. There is an understanding in the room that we are all there with our own stories /experiences yet have all come together in this one space for a reason and that reason connected us from the start. Very blessed to have been a part of this group of woman showing up for themselves."

"Rooted & Rising was an experience I didn’t realize I needed until I walked through the door on the first day. From the moment I arrived, I felt a sense of belonging—as though I was exactly where I was meant to be."
Participant, Rooted & Rising, Spring 2026
"Christena and Kelly are amazing! This was my first group therapy experience. It can feel hard to be vulnerable and share your experience in a group, but when it’s met with such support and understanding by Christena, Kelly and the others it is truly healing. "
