Rooted in Well-being
I first connected with Shannon of Rooted Counseling & Wellness two years ago, around the time I started my Instagram page. Back then, her practice was young and small, but I immediately knew it was something special.

Tell us about yourself, Ariel. What three adjectives best describe you? And have you always been an entrepreneur?
I am strong, sincere and driven. I have a Bachelor’s degree (major in sociology and minors in psychology, art, and criminal justice) and held a corporate job for many years, but it wasn’t my calling.
Nurturing Minds
According to the World Health Organization, global estimates indicate that one in seven (14%)10–19-year-olds experience mental health conditions that remain largely unrecognized and untreated. These youth are especially vulnerable to social exclusion, discrimination, stigma (affecting readiness to seek help), educational difficulties, risk-taking behaviors and physical ill-health.
