A Message from Our Founder

"As a Registered Nurse and a mother who survived domestic violence, I know firsthand what it means to have your world suddenly uprooted. I know the courage it takes to leave, and the overwhelming weight of trying to piece a life back together for your children.

I founded the Rooted & Rising Foundation because escaping abuse is only the first step; the true journey begins in the transition back into life. Blending my clinical background with the lived experience of survival, our mission is to ensure that no family has to rebuild alone. We are here to help you anchor your roots in safety so you can confidently rise into your strength."
