I discovered Roots Holistic Wellness – downtown Chatham, NY – a few months ago. I was strolling down Main Street and just peeked in – at first I had no idea what this place was. I was immediately impressed by the beautifully lighted, tan wood of the interior, the tastefully displayed locally-made clothing, tinctures, soaps and candles, and friendly staff. It was a truly welcoming experience.
Stephanie Gaylord, founder of Roots Holistic Wellness explained to me that this is a community space for exploring, learning and growing – and are open to educators and practitioners that want to share their healing knowledge and talents with the community. They specialize in healthy aging through reiki, yoga, conscious living, tarot, and astrology.
I recently attended the brief talk/sitting with Colin Beavan – The Great Matter of Life and Death – An introduction to the Zen approach to Answering life’s big questions – and really enjoyed taking the time out to stop and relax at Roots. I suggest folks reading this should do the same – it’s important to take time out for our mental, body, spiritual health and this is a wonderful spot that offer regular classes, workshops and events.
Below is Stephanie’s Bio followed by Roots Holistic hours and location. Their events are regularly listed on Community Hubb under Events.
Through years of education in yoga and the healing arts combined with personal growth and direction, Stephanie Gaylord has created Roots Holistic Wellness. Of course, wellness can be taught and explained in different ways, but Stephanie believes that knowing who we are and how we connect not only to each other, but to our environment and our surroundings is most important.
Roots Wellness came to fruition after intense holistic therapy to remedy many things, including adrenal fatigue, leg injury, a lifetime of trauma and domestic violence. Stephanie is personally committed to supporting others to find healing and happiness.
Stephanie enjoys learning about ecology, biology, and the natural world around us. She is enthusiastic about different methods of growing food, foraging, learning about native plants & medicinal properties, and crafting things out of natural resources. She values nurturing connections with our planet, her two children, husband and the community.
Stephanie is a 200-HR RYT, completed a Bachelors Degree in Sociology & Liberal Arts, and has completed the Breathing Deeply Yoga Therapy Foundations Program along with the IIN Integrative Health Coaching Program in 2015. She is always learning more from many different teachers about the connection between wellness, movement, lifestyle, and life itself in ways that are simple and anyone can utilize.
