Restore. Reset. Rise.
A Place to Come Back to Yourself
Roots To Rise Life Collective is a culturally grounded wellness space for women who have spent years caring for others, carrying responsibilities, navigating change, and being expected to remain strong, inviting them to return to themselves mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Wellness Rooted in Who We Are
Roots To Rise Life Collective brings together ancestral wisdom, thoughtful modern wellness education, plant-centered nourishment, rest, gentle movement, reflection, emotional wellness, and community and sisterhood.
Wellness here is not about perfection, but about learning to listen to yourself again and creating practices that support a fuller, more grounded life. We believe culturally relevant wellness matters because women deserve to see their experiences, traditions, bodies, and stories reflected in the spaces meant to support them.

Founder & Holistic Wellness Guide
Roots To Rise Life Collective
Lesa Marie created Roots To Rise after her own season of questioning, transition, research, reflection, and rediscovery; she understands what it feels like to reach a point in life where the question becomes "Now what?"; and her work is centered on helping create the kind of culturally grounded wellness space she wanted to find herself — one where women can explore nourishment, ancestral wisdom, emotional wellness, rest, reflection, and what it means to choose themselves again.
