Rooted Again™ - A Coaching Program Built on The R.O.O.T.S. Method™

Intensive, Structured, Serious, Results-focused.

For Adults Recovering from Emotional & Psychological Abuse, Betrayal Trauma & Relational Wounds

ROOTS: Relational Orientation & Overcoming Trauma through Somatic Healing

You Survived the Relationship. Now It’s Time to Rebuild Yourself.

Relational trauma can leave you disconnected from yourself, emotionally exhausted, anxious, confused, hypervigilant, and questioning your reality.

You may know the relationship was unhealthy, but still feel attached to it.
You may understand what happened intellectually, while your body still reacts as though it’s happening now.

The R.O.O.T.S. Method™ Coaching Program was created to bridge that gap.

This is not generic mental health coaching. It is a structured, body-first recovery pathway designed to help you:

  • regulate your nervous system

  • process relational wounds safely

  • rebuild your identity and confidence

  • reconnect with your intuition

  • learn how to recognize safety in relationships again

A Clear Path to Healing

THE R.O.O.T.S. METHOD™ PROGRAM is built to meet you where you are , whether you're just starting to explore healing or you're ready to do deeper work around nervous system regulation, boundaries, and emotional repair.

We offer online individual and group coaching options to support different learning styles, budgets, and healing needs.

Hi, I'm Shikha

I’ll be your facilitator and coach as you move toward recovery In addition to my work as a coach, I’m also a psychotherapist in Canada specializing in somatic therapy, narcissistic, psychological, emotional abuse, trauma within relationships, attachment wounds and couples counselling.

The R.O.O.T.S. METHOD™ was designed after years of practice and seeing clients navigate their recovery process after a trauma in their close relationships. It incorporates aspects of IFS therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Gottman and RLT method for couples counselling, attachment theory, and DBT skills.

Through years of training in attachment, trauma, and nervous system regulation, I’ve come to understand we can heal and move forward. Trauma does not have to keep defining us. The R.O.O.T.S. METHOD™ incorporates all that is needed for recovery.

You've Been Carrying This Long Enough

Maybe you wake up most mornings already tired, not from sleep, but from the weight of everything you haven't said, haven't processed, haven't let yourself feel yet.

Maybe you've gotten really good at functioning. Showing up to work. Being present for your kids, your partner, your friends. Keeping it together from the outside while something quieter is happening inside.

A persistent ache you can't quite name. Old wounds that flare up in new relationships. Patterns you recognize but can't seem to break. An anxiety that hums just beneath the surface of every ordinary day.

What Brings People to Rooted Again™

  • The relationship that won't leave your body. Even years later, the anxiety, the hypervigilance, the way you flinch, it's still there.

  • The childhood you've intellectually processed. But that still shows up in how you love, how you fight, how you disappear when things get hard.

  • Anxiety that looks like perfectionism from the outside. And feels like drowning from the inside.

  • The slow erosion of self. That happens after years in a relationship that made you question your own reality.

  • Grief that doesn't follow a timeline. For a person, a life you thought you'd have, a version of yourself you lost along the way.

  • Burnout that's gone past tired. Into something that feels like disappearing.

What Is The R.O.O.T.S. Method™?

OPTION 1: 12-Weeks 1:1 Coaching Program

PHASE 1. SESSION 1-3

Stabilize

Before anything can be processed, your nervous system needs to feel safe enough to go there. This phase gives you permission to slow down.

  • Welcome, your story & nervous system basics

  • Body as compass, somatic awareness & grounding

  • Understanding the wound, trauma bonding & attachment

PHASE 2. SESSION 4-6

Process

We go toward the story carefully, at your body's pace. Not to relive it, but to finally have it witnessed, named, and honored for what it was.

  • Telling the story - body-paced, not re-lived

  • Naming the betrayals - every layer

  • Grief & the self you lost

PHASE 3. SESSION 7-9

Rebuild

The shift begins to feel real. The question becomes: who are you, outside of what happened to you? This phase is about reclaiming the answer.

  • Core beliefs inventory & restructuring

  • Values excavation & the Returning Self

  • Boundaries from the inside out

PHASE 4. SESSION 10-12

Integrate

Take everything inward and bring it into your life. Practice safe relating, recognize red flags early, and build a life that actually feels like yours.

  • Recognizing red flags from the inside

  • Relational accountability & patterns

  • Your personal Healing Manifesto

Email us to schedule your free 15 minute consultation. We'll find a time that works and go from there.


OPTION 2: 8-Weeks Group Coaching Program

WEEK 1. STABILIZE

Welcome, Ground Rules & Your Story

The group meets for the first time. We establish the container of confidentiality, consent, and the culture of this space. Each member shares briefly what brought them here. The nervous system begins to recognize it is not alone.

WEEK 2. STABILIZE

The Nervous System & Why You Feel This Way

Psychoeducation on trauma, narcissistic, psychological abuse, trauma bonding, and the body's response. This session answers the question almost every member carries: why can't I just get over it?

WEEK 3. PROCESS

Witnessing the Wound

Members share their experiences at whatever depth feels right. The facilitator holds the space. The group witnesses without advice, without comparison, without hierarchy. Being truly heard is its own form of healing.

WEEK 4. PROCESS

Grief, Loss & the Self That Was Eroded

We grieve together, the relationships that weren't what we believed, the selves that were slowly given away. Realizing others carry the same losses makes the sadness feel less like failure and more like truth.

WEEK 5. REBUILD

The Beliefs We Inherited

Each member identifies their core trauma-based beliefs — the inner voice that says you are too much, not enough, or to blame. We challenge them together. Hearing others question the same beliefs makes your own easier to release.

WEEK 6. REBUILD

Returning to Yourself

Values excavation: who were you before the relationship? What do you want, love, stand for? Members share fragments of their returning selves with the group. This session often feels like a turning point — something begins to lift.

WEEK 7. INTEGRATE

Boundaries, Red Flags & Trusting Yourself Again

Somatic boundary work and red-flag recognition, finding the body signal that says something is wrong before the mind talks you out of it. We practice together: naming, holding, and communicating a boundary.

WEEK 8. INTEGRATE

Integration, Manifesto & Closing Circle

Each member creates their personal Healing Manifesto and shares it with the group. A closing circle: what you arrived with, what you're leaving with, and what you carry forward. The group ends;the healing continues.
