HELLO!

I'm Amanda, founder of Root & Bloom, holistic birth consultant, postpartum practitioner, and mother to 3 boys. Currently loving life with my sweet husband in Littleton, Colorado. If you're local, please drop me a message! Here's a little more of the backstory to my business and my mission...

​

When I first became a mother in 2011, I began to see how challenging it could be traversing this new journey, especially when my intuition led me to swim against mainstream norms. I navigated this chapter with some strength only because of the supportive community I found and now reflect on how vital these points of contact become for the rest of my trajectory of parenting to this day. My village has changed somewhat over the years, but that layer of support remains foundational for my wellbeing and ability to mother my children well.​

 

Following the birth of our third baby was the point that I realized how much women need deeply connected, warm, loving, care practices built into the birth and postpartum healing journey. This tender time holds so much potential to piece ourselves back together and step into our strength as women.

 

I created Root & Bloom Postpartum in 2018 after realizing how completely neglected this type of postpartum care is in our culture. Preparing for birth is standard protocol, but preparing for the immense changes that follow, isn’t even typically considered. Seeing and feeling the void, I trained in breastfeeding, holistic postpartum care, birth story processing, nutrition and healing foods, herbalism, massage, and physiologic birth. Understanding more about our miraculous human body, our ability to bring life into this world, and how perfectly designed these processes are, the path became intimately spiritual. Gaining deeper understanding in all aspects of this, means I’m always learning alongside my homeschooled boys.
