The Pressure is Real. The Possiblity is Too

You’re carrying a lot—achievement, behavior, morale, mandates—and it’s taking a toll.Your team feels it. So do your students. So do you.

But deep down, you know:

Learning thrives when people do

What schools need isn’t just another program.

They need a new foundation — one that centers emotional intelligence, nervous system literacy, and leadership that’s sustainable, embodied, and human.

For Leaders Building Schools Where People are Valued, Joy is Essential, and Growth is Built to Last

You’re not looking for a magic solution.
You’re looking for something grounded. Something that lasts no matter which programs come and go.

A foundation of tools that strengthen communication, trust, well-being, and the adaptive mindsets needed to navigate what’s next.

About Me

Hi! I’m Trish!

I’ve spent over 25 years in education and human development, supporting leaders and teams with tools that fuel high performance and deep connection—emotional intelligence, brain coherence, energy regulation, language, trust, teamwork, and conscious communication.

I believe in the survival of the friendliest—that the strongest cultures are built by honoring the human beings doing the work.
That’s why I partner with visionary school leaders who are building something that lasts.

This work isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level change.
It’s about integrating timeless practices and building from the -inside out—so well-being and achievement can rise together.

This is more than professional development.
It’s personal transformation.

When we align how we lead with how we live, schools become more than systems—they become sanctuaries for growth.

The Framework Behind the Work

Brain-Body Literacy: Small Practices, Big Impact

At the heart of Roots Education is Brain-Body Literacy, a science-backed, somatic-based approach that helps individuals and teams shift from pressure to presence, and from hustle to sustainable impact.

Grounded in emotional intelligence, somatics, neuroscience, and the science of learning, this work strengthens the internal capacities that fuel external transformation—regulation, resilience, and relationship.
We guide educators, leaders, and teams through the internal states that shape how we show up, connect, and grow. Through the Root → Rise → Radiate model, we guide individuals and teams through three powerful states:

🌱 Root – Ground in nervous system safety and self-awareness
⚡️ Rise – Mobilize energy, focus, and clarity of action
Radiate – Lead with coherence, creativity, and connection

These states mirror how the brain functions under stress and in growth—moving from survival to task orientation to flow. When people learn to shift their state, they unlock the conditions for learning, leading, and living well.

Brain-Body Literacy™ isn’t another initiative. Using our IMPACT Framework, it becomes the foundation for creating school cultures where well-being fuels achievement—and transformation starts from within.

This Isn’t A Curriculum. It’s A Way Of Being. And It’s Built To Last.
