Trauma-informed, consent-based support for sensitive bodies that is grounded in experience, education, and deep respect for your pace.
If you’ve been through chronic stress, illness, grief, trauma, or medical overwhelm, it makes sense if your body doesn’t respond well to being pushed. Restorative Roots was created to be a softer place to land, where nervous system safety comes first.
Julie Minc created this practice because she saw how often sensitive bodies are harmed by wellness spaces that move too fast.
Many people arrive here after trying everything like therapy, traditional yoga, breathwork, exercise, “mindset work,” or “pushing through.” And still, the body feels braced, wired, exhausted, or shut down.
At Restorative Roots, we slow everything down. We prioritize consent, nervous system regulation, and support that feels doable, even on hard days.
