Rooted Sage Wellness | Breathwork, Parts Integration & Somatic Healing

The Rooted Sage Way

Healing that honors the whole of you

Rooted Sage Wellness is a breath-led sanctuary where IFS parts integration, breathwork, sound healing, and somatic practice come together — not to fix you, but to help you finally hear the parts of yourself that have been waiting to be known.

This is not performance. This is not productivity. This is a return to the self you were always meant to be.

“I am not here to fix you. I am here to witness the parts of you that have never been seen.”

Ways We Do This Work Together

🌬️

Breathwork Sessions

Breath is the body's most direct portal to healing. Through guided breathwork, we access what words cannot reach — releasing held tension, trauma, and the weight of what you've been carrying.

Parts Integration

Informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), parts integration work helps you meet the inner voices and protectors that have been running the show — with curiosity instead of judgment.

Sound Healing & Circles

Healing circles and sound healing sessions that create communal sacred space — for women to be witnessed, held, and restored together. Because some healing happens only in community.

Understanding the Work

What Is Breathwork?

Your breath is the bridge between your mind and your body.

Breathwork is a conscious, guided breathing practice that activates your body's own healing intelligence. Unlike talk therapy, breathwork works directly with the nervous system — bypassing the analytical mind to reach stored emotions, unprocessed experiences, and the deeper wisdom your body holds.

In a session, you are guided through specific breathing patterns that shift your physiology, quiet the inner critic, and create space for release, insight, and restoration. Many people describe it as the most profound healing experience they've ever had — and the most natural.

No experience is needed. Your breath already knows the way.

Releases What Words Cannot Reach

Trauma, grief, and emotional weight are stored in the body — not just the mind. Breathwork creates a direct pathway to release what thinking and talking alone cannot always access.

Regulates Your Nervous System

Breathwork activates the parasympathetic nervous system — your body's rest and restore state — reducing cortisol, calming anxiety, and creating a felt sense of safety from the inside out.

Connects You to Yourself

In the stillness that breathwork creates, many women meet parts of themselves they have long ignored, suppressed, or forgotten. It is a coming home — one breath at a time.

Why Somatic Healing

Your Body Has Been Keeping Score

🌊

The Nervous System Holds It All

Stress, trauma, and unprocessed emotion don't just live in our memories — they live in our muscles, our breath patterns, our posture, and our gut. Somatic healing works with the body directly to complete what the nervous system started.

🌿

Regulation Before Insight

When our nervous system is dysregulated, we cannot think our way to healing. Somatic practices — breath, movement, sound, touch — bring the body back into safety first. From that grounded place, real integration becomes possible.

🔥

Healing That Actually Sticks

Talk therapy changes thinking. Somatic healing changes physiology. When we work with the body alongside the mind, the shifts we make become embodied — lived in, not just understood. That's the difference between knowing and being.

The body is not a problem to be solved. It is a wisdom to be listened to.

About Bella Sage

A healer who has
walked this path

I am Bella Sage — founder of Rooted Sage Wellness LLC, licensed clinical social worker, breathwork practitioner, and a woman who has done her own deep work to find her way home.

My healing journey began in Sedona, in a breathwork session that cracked something open I had been protecting for a long time. What I found there — and what I keep finding — is what I now hold space for in others.

I named this practice for my grandmother, Mary Bell Thomas — a healer, matriarch, and spiritual presence who lived to 106 and whose wisdom continues to guide this work. She is the Sage in Rooted Sage.

The breathwork session moved something in me that I didn't even know was stuck. I left lighter. More myself.

Being witnessed in circle by Bella and the other women — I cannot put it into words. I came home to something I had forgotten I lost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Rooted Sage Wellness offers wellness coaching, not therapy or mental health treatment. While Bella holds a background as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, sessions here are coaching and experiential in nature and are not a substitute for licensed mental health care. If you are in active crisis, please reach out to a licensed clinician or crisis line.

Absolutely not. All offerings are beginner-friendly and you will be guided every step of the way. The only thing you need to bring is yourself and a willingness to be curious. Your breath already knows what to do.

Sessions are held in a safe, supported environment. You'll be guided through a specific breathing pattern while lying down comfortably. You may experience emotional release, physical sensation, deep relaxation, or powerful insight — every person's experience is unique. Afterward, we create space for integration and grounding.

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Bring a water bottle, a light blanket if you like, and an open heart. Everything else will be provided.

Most gatherings and containers at Rooted Sage Wellness are intentionally women-centered spaces. Individual breathwork and coaching sessions are open to all. If you're unsure whether a specific offering is right for you, reach out — we'll always be honest and welcoming.

Payment information will be shared upon booking. We accept major cards and PayPal. If cost is a barrier, please reach out — we believe healing should be accessible and will do our best to find a path forward together.
