Hi, I'm Chiara, founder of Root & Rise.

In my early twenties, I began noticing how difficult it was to find female friendships that reflected the balance I was seeking in my own life. I met women who were deeply committed to wellness and self-care, and others who were ambitious, creative, and driven in their careers — but rarely both.

I longed for a space where those worlds could coexist. A space where personal growth and professional ambition were not seen as opposites, but as complementary parts of a fulfilling life. A place where women could connect through meaningful conversations, shared experiences, and a genuine desire to evolve.

That vision became Root & Rise.

Root & Rise is a collection of thoughtfully curated experiences designed to bring women together through wellness, connection, and growth. From intimate retreats and movement experiences to inspiring gatherings and future collaborations, our mission is to create spaces where women feel supported, empowered, and deeply connected — both to themselves and to one another.

At the heart of Root & Rise is the belief that wellbeing is not about escaping life; it's about creating a life that feels aligned, intentional, and fulfilling. We believe in slowing down without losing momentum, in nurturing ourselves while pursuing our goals, and in surrounding ourselves with people who inspire us to grow.

As women, we often carry many roles and responsibilities. Yet we thrive when we have spaces where we can show up authentically — where softness and ambition, rest and growth, vulnerability and confidence are all welcome.

Through every experience we create, our intention is to foster meaningful connections, encourage personal and professional development, and remind women that they don't have to navigate their journey alone.

If you're seeking a community that values both wellbeing and ambition, beautiful experiences and meaningful conversations, Root & Rise was created with you in mind.
