About me

Hi, I’m Brigitte!

I'm here to support your movement journey.

After 15 years of supporting clients through their pregnancy, labor, birth, lactation & the postpartum year, I decided to create this virtual space as a home for Rooted workshops & teacher trainings. 

My Background

I have always been fascinated

by the human body.
