A little about me...

Hi, I’m Bev, founder of Rooted Wellbeing.  

For most of my life I’ve been fascinated by the connection between body, mind and emotion. Like many people, I spent years trying to understand things through thinking and analysis. Over time, though, I began to realise that much of what we experience in life  – and even the essence of who we are – is not only held in the mind, but in the body.

Through my own journey and through working with clients, I began to see how the body carries stress, emotion and experiences that haven’t yet been processed.

When we slow down and begin listening through the body, something powerful happens. The body starts to soften, regulate and reveal what it needs. As that pathway clears, we often reconnect with deeper aspects of ourselves – intuition, safety, and a greater sense of being at home within our own bodies. This understanding shapes the way I work today.

The path that led me here

I began studying Thai bodywork in 2010 and quickly fell in love with the depth and sensitivity of the practice.

What struck me most was that Thai massage wasn’t just about anatomy or technique, it was about presence, relationship and listening to the body.

Over the years I have trained extensively in Thailand and Europe and have now given thousands of treatments. Through this experience I began to notice that physical tension often had deeper layers connected to stress, emotional holding and nervous system patterns or coping strategies.

This led me to explore somatic approaches and mind–body healing, as well as training as a Root Cause Practitioner.

These studies deepened my understanding of how symptoms, emotions and the nervous system interact – and how healing often begins when we reconnect with our body’s own intelligence.

How I work

My work is grounded in presence, listening and trust in the body’s innate wisdom. Sessions are not about “fixing” the body, but about creating the conditions where the body can begin to soften and regulate itself.

Through mindful touch, breath awareness and gentle guidance, we explore areas of tension or holding at a pace that feels safe and supportive.

Sometimes change happens simply through touch and awareness. At other times deeper emotions or insights may surface.

Every body is different, and every session is unique.

My role is to guide, facilitate and witness the process, empowering clients to reconnect with their bodies and move toward greater balance and wellbeing. 

My work is integrative, combining bodywork, coaching approaches, and tools such as EFT to support people in reconnecting with their bodies and exploring patterns held within them.
