Our story
Welcome to Rooted Care. Learn about our unique approach to counselling in Cambridge, Ontario, and discover how we can support you on your health journey. We're committed to providing trauma-informed care that empowers you to advocate for your well-being. We are based in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.
What makes us different
Rooted Care offers a distinct approach to counselling, focusing on education, advocacy, and whole-body understanding, rather than diagnosis or treatment. We centre medical trauma, chronic illness, and autoimmune experiences, helping you understand labs, symptoms, and health information. We bridge the gap between lived experience and medical systems, taking a whole-person approach that includes stress, nervous system health, lifestyle, and context. We support people who feel dismissed, rushed, or confused within the healthcare system.
Are we right for you?
If you're feeling unheard and overwhelmed in your health journey, Rooted Care may be the right fit. You might be dealing with ongoing symptoms without clear answers, a history of medical trauma, or chronic conditions affecting daily life. Perhaps you've been told your labs are “normal” while still feeling unwell or are experiencing anxiety around medical appointments. We support you in understanding your body, asking informed questions, and feeling grounded again.
Our guiding values
Our work at Rooted Care is guided by three core values: Informed Self-Advocacy, empowering you to understand your body and participate actively in your care; Whole-Person Understanding, recognizing the influence of stress, trauma, and lifestyle on your health; and Compassionate, Non-Judgmental Support, creating a safe space where your experiences are honored without judgment.
"Rooted Care provided a safe and supportive space for me to explore my health concerns. I felt truly heard and empowered to advocate for my needs."
