About Me and My Journey
Hi, it's nice to meet you.
Hi, it's nice to meet you.
I'm Jess Rowden, a Certified Grief Educator, Yoga Teacher, and Mind Body Coach, drawn to this work through my own experiences with profound loss—including the death of my mother at a younger age. After more recent losses, I found myself in deep grief, isolated and disconnected. No one, not even doctors or therapists, seemed to truly understand. I couldn’t find the caring support I so deeply needed.
This is why I created Root & Rise Mind Body Grief Healing: to provide those struggling in grief with compassionate, holistic support. Whether your loss is recent or years ago, whether it is the loss of a loved one, a divorce, estrangement, or other kind of grief, I can guide you in finding a way forward.
As a Certified Grief Educator, I am committed to providing the highest level of grief support through education, experience, and insights into this often unacknowledged rocky terrain of grief. I am certified through a program designed by world-renowned grief expert, David Kessler. I am able to bring his unique methodology, tools, and decades of experience to help people navigate the challenges of grief. I am also trained in the Grief Mentor Method™, offering a comprehensive process to first explore and ultimately meet your specific needs in grief.

As a Mind-Body Coach and Yoga Teacher, I offer a holistic, body-centered approach for working with and healing grief. We don't only grieve with our hearts, but also with our minds and bodies. Drawing from yoga practices, including grief yoga, along with other practices like body-mind centering, somatic experiencing, and mindfulness, I help clients reconnect with their bodies to fully process and heal their grief.

As a Public Speaker and Advocate for grief education and grief literacy, I work to dispel common misconceptions around grief, like the idea that grief is something to "fix" or to "get over." There is no timeline in grief and there is no cure, but there are ways to ease pain and support healing. I offer talks to communities and students about the grieving process, myths and truths about grief, and practical ways to support others who are grieving.
