What is Rooted & Rising?

Rooted & Rising is a nature-based coaching experience for women navigating burnout, loss, reinvention, or quiet disconnection.

It’s a professionally guided journey that integrates psychology-informed coaching, trauma-aware tools, nature-based reflection, and the intuitive presence of animals—designed to restore clarity, energy, and confidence.

Three ways to work with Carmel:

• 3-hour Private Reconnection Session (in-person only)

• 7-session Transformational Coaching Journey (in-person or online)

• Deep Support Pathway for expanded integration and care

Do I need to be in crisis to join?

Not at all. Most women who join aren’t in acute distress. They’re simply tired of pushing through, unsure of what’s next, or quietly disconnected from themselves.

You don’t have to be broken to want more wholeness.

What’s included in the sessions?

All in-person sessions include the option to spend time with animals—our intuitive horses and gentle Valais Blacknose sheep.
These interactions are always:

• Ground-based (no riding)

• Calm and trauma-informed

When do I pay for my session or program?

Full payment is required at the time of booking.
Your session or program is only confirmed once payment is received.

You’re welcome to book a free connection call first if you have questions or want to ensure it’s the right fit before committing.

All payments are securely processed via Stripe, and receipts are emailed automatically.

If you’d like to purchase Rooted & Rising as a gift for someone else, this is also possible—just let us know in the notes when booking, or email us to arrange a gift certificate.

Do I need horse experience to participate?

Not at all. You don’t need any experience with horses or sheep. All interaction is:

• Ground-based (no riding)

• Consent-led (the animals choose to engage)

• Safe, calm, and trauma-informed

The animals offer presence—not performance. You're always invited, never required.

Will the online version still be as powerful as the in-person experience?

Yes—many clients experience deep transformation online.

The online format includes:

• Guided subconscious and mindset coaching

• Weekly reflections and rituals

• Nature-inspired exercises for home practice

It’s not a second-best version. It’s a fully supported, thoughtfully adapted experience for those who prefer flexibility or distance.

How do I know which path is right for me?

Let’s talk. Book a free connection call and explore what’s best for you—without pressure, sales, or expectation.

Is this therapy or counselling?

No—Rooted & Rising is not therapy or counselling. It does not offer diagnosis or crisis support.

This is trauma-informed, nature-aligned coaching. It blends neuroscience, somatic insight, subconscious work, and deep listening—but always in a coaching (not clinical) framework.

If you’re in crisis or need therapeutic care, we’ll refer or support you to find the right help.

Can I bring up career, purpose, or practical decisions?

Absolutely. Carmel is also a senior career and mindset coach who supports clients through:

• Burnout recovery

• Career reinvention

• Relocation decisions

• Life clarity

This is work for the soul and the strategy.

Is everything confidential?

Yes. Everything shared in session or in writing is held with full respect and confidentiality. This is a space where your truth can safely land.

Where does Rooted & Rising take place?

On a 35-acre private parkland estate 8 minutes outside Bunclody, Co. Wexford—beside mature trees, sheep fields, horses, and a peaceful river.

Sessions happen outdoors, in the glasshouse, or in quiet nature-based spaces. The animals live freely and are part of the experience, but always by choice.

Directions are sent after booking. The setting is quiet, safe, and held in respect.

What if I can’t travel to Wexford?

The full 7-session journey is available online, with the same coaching and reflection process.

Animal interaction and the Reconnection Session are in-person only.

Is the retreat space accessible?

We aim to be inclusive. If you have any physical, sensory, or emotional accessibility needs, please contact us before booking. We’ll do our best to accommodate you respectfully.

When are sessions available?

Sessions are available Monday to Saturday. Online sessions can be scheduled during both daytime and select evening hours. In-person sessions are typically held during daylight, but may also be offered on summer evenings.

You’ll receive available time slots once your booking or connection call is confirmed.

What do past clients say?

One client shared, "I didn’t realise how much I’d been carrying—being strong had become a survival mode I didn’t even question. This space helped me finally lay some of that down without needing to explain it."

We’re currently gathering more formal testimonials as this program evolves, but this reflection captures the quiet impact Rooted & Rising can have.
