What is the root?
The root is the basis of a thing. The cause, source or origin. When refering to plant life we know that the root is the base of the plant. The strength and support that provides nourishment and a firm foundation for the plant to grow and like a rose, bloom. Our aim at The Root of Roses is to do just that. Be the support, center and foundation of healing and holistic wellness so desperately needed. Locally, you will find at the base of what we do, hands on healing through massage and herbal steaming. Globally, the 24/7 access to well living knowledge and resources for the people who need it most is available here at rootofroses.com.
Isaiah 35:1-2 Says "The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy.". Many scholars believe the crocus to be a direct reference to the Rose. So like the desert and the parched land (Your sickness, brokenness and pain of all kinds) will flourish and without a doubt you will be well.

The mission is to provide you with the knowledge and tools necessary to heal from the inside out, Mind, Body, Soul and Spirit.
