Before the Bloom

A midwinter guide for women who want to restore rhythm, steady the nervous system, and arrive in spring with clarity – not depletion.

The deeper why

Why Rise Rooted Exists

Rise Rooted was born from the knowing that when women reclaim safety in their bodies, they reclaim the rhythm of life itself. This work is not only about personal transformation - it is about restoring the natural intelligence that allows us to live, lead, and love from grounded wholeness.

Our roots

A homecoming to the body

Rise Rooted began as a response to the quiet ache so many women carry - the sense of being disconnected from their own bodies while holding so much for everyone else.

When we repair safety at a nervous system level, we remember our right to rest, to receive, and to move at the pace of our own truth.

Our evolving vision

A living ecosystem of growth

What begins as a single course becomes a constellation of offerings - immersive online programs, transformational retreats, and an integrative app that brings nervous system wisdom into everyday life.

Each space is designed to be deeply practical, beautifully held, and rooted in science, somatics, and soul.

Our long term legacy

Centres for women to rise

The long term vision is to establish functional health and wellness centres for women - sanctuaries of regeneration, education, and collective healing.

Spaces where the next generation can witness what it looks like to live from deep coherence, and where every woman is reminded that her well-being is world-changing.

Your presence in this work is part of something much greater. Every breath you reclaim becomes a seed for our children’s children. Together, we are weaving the future - one regulated nervous system, one rooted woman at a time.

Cassandra Bradshaw
Founder of Rise Rooted

Hello - I’m Cassandra

I have spent the past decade exploring how we reclaim connection, presence, and peace - without needing to escape our life to find it.

Before founding Rise Rooted, I spent years leading teams and managing high-level creative projects. I have run a fashion photography studio in Central London for a major UK retailer, carried on to overseeing international video productions, to coordinating online educational programmes, and delivering large-scale projects for purpose-driven brands.

And prior to that, in 2012, I experienced a major health crisis where my body had completely shut down - this is where my path began.

This means alongside embodied transformation, and years of certified trainings, hours of facilitating - I also bring strategic understanding - helping you do more than dream of your next chapter, but fully step into it.

This is about choosing how you want to live.

Clarity for your nervous system journey

Your questions, gently answered

The most common questions women bring into the Reset - especially when they want change that feels grounded and sustainable.

What if my nervous system feels too much, too fast, or easily overwhelmed?

This is one of the most common starting points. The practices are paced and sensitivity-led - designed to stabilise first, without pushing.

You will learn how to meet activation early, soften overwhelm, and build a steadier felt sense of safety.

I have tried so many tools before. What makes this different?

Most tools try to change thoughts first. This work begins in the body, where stress patterns live.

You build new responses through nervous system regulation - not force, willpower, or “doing more”.

Will this help with burnout, anxiety, or emotional exhaustion?

Yes. You will learn to recognise signals earlier, interrupt stress cycles, and regulate before overwhelm takes over.

For many women, this is where breathing, clarity, and capacity begin to return.

I struggle with rest. Will I be able to do this without shutting down?

Absolutely. Rest is a skill - and we build it gently.

You will learn how to downshift without collapsing, and how to create restorative pauses that actually support your system.

I am sensitive, neurodivergent, or have a trauma history. Is this safe?

This work is paced and grounded in principles of nervous system safety.

You will be guided to honour capacity, listen to cues, and practise without overriding yourself.

What if I fear change but also know I need it?

Completely normal. Fear often shows up when change does not yet feel safe at a body level.

We build safety first, so change becomes steady, embodied, and sustainable.

How do I know this will create long-term transformation?

You are not only learning tools - you are changing patterns at nervous system level.

When change lands in the body, it becomes your new normal, not a temporary fix.

What happens after the four weeks - do I get ongoing support?

You complete the Reset with a personal regulation protocol you can repeat in any season.

You will also be invited into the Rise Rooted community for continued guidance and connection.

The Philosophy

 Embodied Transformation
for Women Ready to Rise.

 

Rise Rooted supports women who are ready to step beyond limiting narratives, and fully embody the beautiful, often non linear and quite unpredictable but always extraordinary chapter of their lives. 

Here, you reconnect with the truth of who you are, but most importantly who you want to be - not the version shaped by childhood conditioning or external expectations, but the woman who exists beneath all those layers. The one who knows she is here for more.

This journey is about reclaiming trust in yourself. Rooting into resilience. Taking radical accountability for your choices and your focus. Because true transformation doesn’t happen through force - it happens when you move in alignment with your deepest values, desires, and embodied knowing.

My approach blends practical strategy with holistic integration, ensuring that the shifts you make don’t just feel good in the moment, but become the foundation for a life that feels aligned, energised, and fully your own.

You already have everything you need within you. My role is to walk with you while you bring it to life.
