About Us

Tough Roots provides wellness services to help healthcare workers, first responders and their partners define, attain and sustain wellness. We support those who serve others to manage stress, build healthy habits and prioritize their own wellbeing.

We define success when our clients gain insight into their values and behaviors, identify their vision of wellness, and take action to incorporate this vision into their lives.
