About Root+Center

Welcome to Root+Center!  

Root+Center is a living practice and evolving framework grounded in the belief that wellness emerges through integration — integrating lived experience with professional knowledge, research with embodied wisdom, individual experiences with broader social contexts, and diverse ways of knowing. Through collaboration, curiosity, and intentional reflection, Root+Center seeks to move beyond compartmentalized approaches toward more holistic, responsive, and human-centered ways of understanding ourselves and one another.

Founded by Dr. Amy Rodriguez Tackett, Root+Center brings together psychological science, neuroaffirming perspectives, embodiment, coaching, and integrative approaches to explore what supports human flourishing.  

It emerged through the intersection of professional experience, research, and lived understanding. Across diverse professional roles, a consistent thread has remained: the need for approaches to growth and healing that honor the whole person — mind, body, spirit, identity, relationships, and lived experience.

Root+Center recognizes that wellness is not simply the absence of struggle. Rather, wellness emerges through the ongoing process of reconnecting with ourselves, our bodies, our relationships, and the environments that support our flourishing. It is a process of cultivating greater coherence, authenticity, and connection while honoring our past and the unique ways each person experiences and navigates the world.
