ABOUT GENTLE ROOTS WELLNESS

Hi, I’m Kaylyn, and I founded Gentle Roots Wellness as a space for neurodivergent professionals to tap into their unique strengths and rhythms to recover from burnout, reclaim their energy, and lead more sustainable lives

COACHING SERVICES

I support highly sensitive, neurodivergent, creative, and empathic people to:

  • Feel grounded, energized, and aligned with their values

  • Live and work in a way that honors their nervous system

  • Create meaningful change without burning out

  • Rediscover their voice, creativity, and self-trust

Whether in a one-on-one coaching session or a Neurodivergent Wellness Circle, I aim to provide a safe, trauma-informed, neurodiversity affirming space to gently explore the changes you want to make and the tools that will help you get there.

Mind-Body Awareness

Mind-body practices play a crucial role in developing awareness and restoring physical and emotional balance. I have experience in yoga, meditation, and mindfulness, and may incorporate movement and breathwork in my offerings as appropriate.

  • Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training (RYT-200)

  • Restorative Yoga Training (30-hour certification in Judith Lasater’s methods)

  • 100+ hours of training in mindfulness practices with a Buddhist monk

These practices support clients in developing self-awareness, calming the nervous system, and reconnecting with their intuition.

I am a highly sensitive person (HSP), a late-diagnosed Autistic-ADHD (AuDHD) person, and a joyful survivor of relational trauma. I understand firsthand the challenges of neurodivergence and navigating burnout and am committed to guiding others with empathy, knowledge, and support.

Burnout to Breakthrough

After a decade of working in corporate and academic settings as a food researcher and educator, I experienced a deep period of burnout. Overwhelmed by chronic stress and disconnection, I embarked on a healing journey that transformed my whole approach to life and work.

Through study, practice, and self-discovery, I learned more sustainable ways to manage energy, build resilience, and honor my sensitive nature.

Now my journey fuels my passion for helping others break free from cycles of stress and exhaustion, so they can live with more clarity, creativity, and peace. Visit my coaching services page and learn how I can help with burnout.

Beyond Coaching

When I am not supporting clients or studying nutrition, herbalism, and psychology, I enjoy a variety of special interests. I love spending time in nature, foraging for medicinal plants, climbing, practicing yoga, writing, cooking, and mountain biking in the Rocky Mountains.

My natural curiosity and love of learning shape both my work and personal life:
