Welcome to Roots with Rita

Join me on a journey of mindful living, exploring nature, movement and the science behind it all.

A little About me

Hi, I’m Rita. I created Roots with Rita as a space to pause, reflect and reconnect with life’s natural rhythms. With a background in medical genetics, herbal medicine and nanomedicine, I am inspired by the intersection of science, nature and well-being. Here, I share what I love; mindful movement and the gentle science behind it all, to inspire a deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us.

Through curiosity and small, mindful steps, I truly believe we can find ease, balance and flow in everyday life. Whether it is exploring the healing power of nature, diving into fascinating science or embracing mindful practices, I hope you’ll join me on this gentle journey together, taking it one step at a time.
