Weekly letter for everyday life

Inner Knowing

Sent Sundays around 11am. A weekly invitation to explore your nervous system, restore clarity, and reconnect to what matters most.

Join and receive a seasonal guided somatic reset.
Short, grounded, and designed to be lived - not just read.

Science - Somatics - Soul

Weaving Science, Somatics & Soul

Tending to three core aspects of our shared human experience - with clarity, presence, and meaning.

Science, Somatics, and Soul interwoven Three overlapping circles labelled Science, Soul, and Somatics, with a centre label representing shared human experience. Science understanding - evidence - clarity Soul meaning - values - connection Somatics felt sense - practice - presence Shared experience the place where life becomes lovable

When these three threads are woven with care, everyday life becomes steadier, clearer, and more meaningful.

Research that roots our work

Research that Roots our Work

Each pillar of Rise Rooted is grounded in real-time research, then translated into embodied practice.

Science Evidence into practice

A 2025 meta-analysis of 17 trials found that mind-body exercise produced a substantial reduction in anxiety symptoms among women.

Programmes combining movement, breath, and mindful focus were most effective, with benefits seen across ages and life stages.

Why this matters: nervous system-led movement is not a luxury - it is a precise intervention for reducing anxiety, restoring clarity, and rebuilding sustainable energy.

Study: Chen et al., 2025 - Effects of mind-body exercise intervention on anxiety among women: a meta-analysis (Frontiers in Psychology).

Soul Meaning into direction

2025 research reframes women’s intuition as attunement - a biologically grounded capacity to sense and integrate inner and relational signals.

The paper explores how trauma and chronic stress can dull attunement, and how regulation and connection can re-awaken intuitive knowing, empathy, and relational presence.

Why this matters: what we call soul work is also nervous system work. When the body is regulated, intuition becomes a clear inner signal you can trust in leadership and in life.

Study: Verma & Kind, 2025 - Women’s intuition as attunement: a biological and social perspective (Frontiers in Sociology).

Somatics Body into steadiness

A 2025 physiology study found that drinking cold water rapidly shifted autonomic balance in young women, co-activating sympathetic and parasympathetic branches.

Heart rate variability markers changed within minutes, showing how a simple body-based stimulus can modulate the nervous system in real time and support re-entry into calm.

Why this matters: somatic tools are trainable levers. Small, repeatable practices can reshape how the nervous system meets stress and returns to steadiness.
