Hello, I'm Flo
This is My Story

I didn’t know it at the time, but the night I sat with my crystals under the light of the Libra Full Moon, something powerful was shifting inside me. I was surrounded by the energy of Moldavite, Pyrite, Citrine, Rose Quartz, and Selenite. I was setting intentions—calling in abundance, self-love, financial freedom, emotional healing, and divine alignment.

I had been in the depths of emotional and spiritual work for a while. Tarot and oracle cards had become mirrors, showing me truths I wasn’t always ready to see but needed to acknowledge. I was peeling back layers of trauma, heartbreak, and the inner critic that kept whispering I wasn’t enough. And yet, even in the grief, I was choosing myself.

One of the biggest shifts came in the form of detachment—from relationships, yes, but also from old versions of myself. The parts of me that had settled. That had romanticised potential. That had ignored the red flags and chosen peacekeepers over peacemakers.

I had been through the emotional exhaustion of trying to be everything for someone else while losing myself in the process. I faced truths that hurt, learned from messages I’d saved, reread, deleted, and revisited. I remembered how draining it had all been—how the emotional whiplash had cost me my peace.

Eventually, I stopped trying to fix what wasn’t mine to fix. I let go. I cut cords. And I chose to believe that the Universe would reward that choice.

And it did.

Not in the way I expected—but in the way I needed.

With clarity came purpose. With pain came wisdom.

That purpose became Rooted and Rising—a brand born from heartbreak, spiritual awakening, and the quiet power of coming home to myself.

As a certified life coach, writer, and mother, I created Rooted and Rising for women like me—women in their 30s, divorced or separated, often mothers, deeply spiritual, and rebuilding after emotional trauma and toxic patterns. Women who are rediscovering themselves not as who they were told to be—but as who they really are.

Rooted and Rising is a sanctuary for the soul. It’s where healing meets empowerment. Where witchy meets wise. Where the divine feminine is honoured, and where we rise from the ruins of what we thought we needed.

Here, you’ll find:

  • Journals, workbooks, and rituals to help you process and heal

  • Oracle and affirmation cards to reconnect you with your inner voice

  • An eBook, Sour to Sweet, that guides you through emotional transformation

  • Tools for financial empowerment and emotional sovereignty

  • Interior design guides inspired by your birth chart (because your space should reflect your soul)

  • Simple spells, spiritual practices, and ways to work with goddesses like Aphrodite and Hecate
     

Everything I offer is made with intention and love—and often, a little magic.

I’ve learned that healing doesn’t always look like light and ease. Sometimes it’s messy. Sometimes it’s lonely. But always, it’s worth it. And I’m living proof that you can rebuild a life that's not just survivable—but sacred.

So if you’re healing from heartbreak, navigating life after divorce, or just ready to stop abandoning yourself, I hope you’ll feel at home here.
