About Deb Root
I offer myself as a guide, sacred space holder, ritualist, grief tender, sound alchemist, facilitator of body soul expression, collage artist, and musician
I have navigated the terrain of cancer and travelled to the depths of the dark waters of grief. It has shaken me to
the core, stretched and grown me, broken open my heart, reshaped
and ripened me.
​
I am committed to deep listening, baring witness, to my own heart,
body and soul.
What brings me Alive, touches my Soul, opens my Heart?
​
Writing, poetry, playing music, sound healing, dance, being out in nature, they are doorways for my expression and portals into my soul and unconscious. These creative modalities help me to remember and call forth my wild raw untamed nature, my animal body that longs for expression. I feel alive when i am rooted in my body, listening to the stirrings of my soul and to life's callings.
I feel immense blessing and honor to be with, guide, co-create and bare witness to ones own unfolding and unique forms of expression.
​
I hold a deep reverence for our raw humble humanness,
that grows our capacity to love.
​
I bring to you over 30 years of professional practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, 4 decades of body & soul exploration through Expressive Arts and Somatic practices, and a depth of life changing experience as a three-time cancer survivor.
My years of study and immersion in Somatic practices, including Meditation, Kundalini and Vinyasa Yoga,
Authentic Movement, Continuum Practice, Sound Healing and Music are life long healing practices
That have deeply guided and inspired my my work.
​
I implement music, sound, vocalizing ,movement and collage as primary tools, practices and forms of expression that assist individuals in turning within and expressing more authentically.
In essence, I guide and facilitate a process of discovery;
Beginning in stillness, I invite a practice of breathing, deep listening and presence, sensing and attuning to sensations and emotions held within the body. This process brings the heart body mind into more alignment, enabling clients to experience a deeper sense of interconnectedness, balance and integration of emotional physical spiritual states of being.
