Founder
Hi. I'm Janelle.
I spent three decades in corporate leadership with fifteen of them in the C-suite across healthcare, insurance, data management, and engineering. I know what it looks like to walk into a boardroom fully put-together while your nervous system is quietly screaming. I know the gap between looking successful and feeling sustainable. I've lived it.
Why?
I created Root & Rise because I got tired of leadership development that focuses on strategy while overlooking the whole person. Most programs teach strategy first. I teach roots first because your body, your identity, and your values are the foundation you actually lead from.
My work sits at the intersection of neuroscience, executive coaching, and somatic regulation. I help high-performing women who are functional but frayed, the ones who carry every room they enter, who deliver and perform and hold it all together, while nobody sees the cost. Through coaching, keynotes, and retreats, I create the space for you to restore the woman behind the title so you can lead with presence that doesn't require perfection to maintain.
This isn't about hustling harder. It's about building a life and a leadership style you don't need to recover from.
