Rooted Through Recovery is a trauma-informed, neuroscience-based recovery practice I developed after three decades of trying to heal in spaces that were never built for people like us. It’s a completely original 12-step-inspired framework designed for survivors of trauma, addiction, chronic dysregulation, and anyone who’s rebuilding a life from the inside out.

Our weekly Rooted Through Recovery meetings happen every Sunday at 10 AM, in person and on Zoom.

These aren’t traditional meetings.
There’s no hierarchy, no shame, no pressure to share, and no forcing a “one-size-fits-all” model on people whose stories are anything but simple.

Each week we explore the deeper layers of healing through nervous system science, embodiment, reflection, and community connection — honoring the truth that trauma is the root, and recovery grows from safety, self-understanding, and compassion.

If you’re looking for a place where your story isn’t minimized, where your trauma isn’t dismissed, and where your healing is honored as a whole-body, whole-life process, join us.

Rooted Through Recovery. Sundays at 10 AM.
In person and on Zoom.
Come as you are.

Tamara McGovern, BSN, RN, is a woman with certifications in Yoga, Reiki, Guided Meditation, Thai Massage. Her journey began in 1997 after the loss of her grandfather, where she found solace in holistic practices. After becoming a nurse in 2001, she saw the need for a holistic approach in healthcare, especially in oncology. Incorporating Reiki and guided meditation into her practice, she witnessed their profound impact on patients’ healing journeys. Drawing from her own recovery experiences, Tamara found healing through Reiki, meditation, Thai massage, and yoga. She studied with Rooted in 2023 and 2025, and most recently began studying somatic therapy to further her knowledge and practice. As a Student Practitioner of Transformative Touch Somatic Therapy , she is I’m looking for Practice Clients!

As part of her journey to becoming a Certified Somatic Therapist, she is currently offering free sessions as she completes training. These no-cost sessions will be available through the end of 2025, and she’d love to work with people who are open to exploring this gentle, body-based approach to healing and self-discovery.You don’t need to know anything about somatic therapy to participate. All that’s required is curiosity, openness, and a willingness to explore what your body might be trying to communicate.

Trauma lives in rhythm, breath, and the patterns our bodies learned to survive. That’s why we’re adding donation-based guitar and drum nervous system work to our trauma informed offerings at Rooted in 2026.

Guitar offers something uniquely regulating, vibration, repetitive strumming, and a steady cadence the body naturally settles into. These patterns work directly with the nervous system, rebuilding internal safety after years of dysregulation.

For trauma survivors (PTSD, CPTSD, freeze, dissociation, shutdown), guitar becomes a steady rhythm to borrow, a safe embodied task, gentle left–right stimulation, and a non-verbal way to release what’s been held inside.

These practices also support ADHD, autism, OCD, anxiety, and other forms of neurodivergence or mental health overwhelm. Predictable rhythm reduces sensory overload, organizes attention, and lets the body regulate without eye contact, social pressure, or talking.

And honestly, you also learn something really cool, which might open a door you never expected.

Rooted will begin weekly, donation-based group guitar and rhythm lessons with on-site instruments, taught by a full-time musician with 40+ years of playing, 30 years of instruction, and deep theory experience. If you want to go deeper, you can continue 1:1 privately — also donation-based.

We’ll also offer weekly handheld drum circles using simple frame-style grounding drums for steady pulse work.

And several times a year, we’ll host gentle, zero-pressure open mic nights for anyone who wants to share what they’ve been learning, or simply watch others find their voice.

More details soon.
All instruments provided on site.

Rooted Holistic Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to trauma-informed recovery through rhythm, sound, stillness, and story.

For six years, Rooted has been here, a safe space for healing, connection, and community.
Six years of showing up for trauma survivors, recovery circles, and those who needed a place to breathe again.

This year has been one of the hardest yet.
With our funding cut, it’s been a struggle to keep the lights on and continue doing this work, and on a personal level, I’ve missed so much in-person time because of my own health challenges. Still, even from the sidelines, I’ve stayed rooted in this mission, because I know how much this community needs spaces like this: trauma-informed, heart-centered, safe and real.

Every single donation helps us keep going. It helps cover the costs of the building that’s held us for six years, allows us to travel for outreach and education, and supports programs that have changed lives.

If you’ve ever found healing here, or simply believe in this kind of work please consider supporting Rooted this Giving Tuesday. there are so many amazing things coming in 2026.
We’re keeping it simple this year: no Facebook fundraisers, no third-party sites, no fees.
Just direct support that goes right back into the community.

You can give directly through:
Venmo:
PayPal:
Or by cash or check.

Your support, which is tax deductible since we are a 501(c)(3) helps us stay here, holding space, teaching, healing, and rebuilding together.
Thank you for believing in the work, and for standing with us through every season of growth.

With love and gratitude,
Jennie, Rooted Holistic Center

this year has been a doozy and I haven’t been able to show up in person as often as I wish I could, and with a fifth surgery on the horizon the beginning of 26 will be limited as well but I am so grateful for everyone who has stood by, come when we’ve had events, come to the shop, come to the trainings and supported others within this space. We started building this space out six years ago to the day and here we are going strong. 2026 is going to be a remarkable year inside these walls and I hope you’ll join us. I’m eternally grateful for every person who has stepped through those doors, who has taken a breath with me, who has shared a tier with me, who has laughed as though we could shake the roof with me.

Thank you thank you thank you

Wishing you a day of softness, love and hope

SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY — NOVEMBER 29
11:00–4:00 PM
Rooted Shop + Studio

Saturday 11/29 I’m opening the shop from 11–4 PM for a special Small Business Saturday event and I’d love for you to stop by.

Everything in the store is either handmade, one-of-a-kind, or ethically sourced, created with intention, story, and healing in mind. Many of the pieces made are born from the reality of living with trauma, turning pain, grief, and resilience into art you can hold. Art as reclamation. Art as recovery. Art as breath.

Alongside them, you’ll find thoughtfully curated fair-trade items that directly support survivors of assault, abuse, and exploitation around the world. When you shop here, you’re not just gifting something beautiful. You’re supporting someone’s safety, someone’s healing, someone’s new beginning.

If you haven’t been to the shop before:
Park in the back lot and come in through the back door.
It’s cozy, quiet, and filled with pieces that carry meaning.

Whether you’re shopping for gifts or simply want to support the work we’re doing here at Rooted, I hope you’ll stop in, say hello, and help us make this holiday season feel a little more connected, a little more intentional, and a little more compassionate.

Saturday, November 29
11 AM – 4 PM

Hope to see you there.

Something new is growing here.
Rooted has always been a space to come home to yourself , through community, nervous system repair, and honest recovery.
But 2026 marks a new chapter.

We’re expanding the work and moving further into a trauma-informed ecosystem of sound, rhythm, stillness, and story.
Weekly classes will include Yoga Nidra for neural repair, Yin & Sound for fascial release, Drum Circles for rhythm and regulation, Acoustic Guitar for focus and flow, and Recovery Meetings to integrate it all.
After class, we’ll write, expressive journaling that helps the body translate sensation into story. And for those ready to reclaim their voice, open-mic nights will become sacred spaces for truth-telling and creative release.

Alongside these community offerings, Rooted will continue to educate trauma-informed professionals through trainings in Yoga Nidra, Somatic & Fascia Release, Breathwork for Regulation, Trauma & Addiction, and Nervous System Education, all grounded in the same principles we live here every week.

Because this isn’t about “healing.”
It’s about re-patterning.
Reclaiming safety.
Reconnecting to rhythm.
Remembering what it feels like to be in your own body and your own story.

This is the future of Rooted.
This is The Rooted Method.

When trauma happens, the body loses its rhythm.
Our heartbeat, breath, and movement patterns become unpredictable always waiting for the next threat.

Drumming helps restore that rhythm.
The steady beat creates predictability, which the nervous system reads as safety.
It engages both sides of the brain at once , which is a form of bilateral stimulation that rebuilds regulation and grounds the body in the present moment.

Guitar offers a different kind of rhythm, one of focus and flow.
Learning chords and feeling vibration through the hands activates fine-motor pathways, retrains attention, and reconnects survivors with sensory experience.
The repetition of strumming and sound gives the mind something stable to return to, a reminder that consistency can exist without danger.

Music doesn’t just express emotion; it rewires it.
Through rhythm and resonance, we teach the body what safety sounds like again.

At Rooted, we’ll have on-site drums and acoustic guitars for these trauma-informed group sessions — part instruction, part freeform expression. NO experience needed, just curiosity and a heartbeat.
