From Uprooted to Rooted
Hi, I’m Brittney
When I started on this journey, my intention wasn't to get sober. What began as a desperate attempt to quiet my anxiety and OCD became the axis on which my life turned. Overnight, alcohol lost its grip. My mind rewired. The noise went silent. That transformation — undeniable, irreversible — is what birthed Rooted Again.
But I needed to understand why it worked. Curiosity became study, and study became mastery. I trained as a trauma-informed plant medicine facilitator specializing in psilocybin microdosing coaching for women. I completed Wilfrid Laurier University's Neuroplasticity Approach to Mental Health and Addictions course, deepening my understanding of how the brain heals and creates new pathways.
Today, I weave science, plant medicine, and intention into one path: a system of rituals, microdosing coaching, and integration that dissolves old patterns and restores nervous system balance. Ceremony gave me the doorway, and integration gave me the foundation. That's the work I now guide women through — turning transformation into a rooted way of life.
I didn't turn to plant medicine because it sounded magical.
I turned to it because anxiety, OCD, BPD, and ADHD were running my life. My prescriptions weren't working. And alcohol had become something I was using to numb instead of heal.
By August 2024, I was at a crossroads. Increase the medication — or try something radically different.
I chose different. I chose a ceremony with plant medicine. It wasn't glamorous. It was raw, vulnerable, and terrifying. But the morning after, something inside me was different. The noise in my head, the looping thoughts, the constant static of OCD and anxiety… it was gone. My nervous system felt quiet for the first time in years.
That's what led me to psilocybin microdosing. Ceremony cracked me open, but microdosing gave me the continuity — the daily, gentle rhythm of neuroplasticity. I paired it with supportive supplements, nervous system practices, and mindful rituals. Bit by bit, I built what has now become the Rooted Protocol: a microdosing coaching program for women who want to feel themselves again, without numbing or performing.
Rooted Again was born from that soil — from the quiet that plant medicine gave me, and the choice to start living, not coping.
