About Rose
I Help People Understand Their Own Health
I'm Rose. Before founding TruRoot Health in 2022, I spent 20 years as a bedside nurse in critical, acute, and cardiac care. I understand the confusion of our modern healthcare system firsthand — and I want to do the thinking for you. My care is patient-centered, rooted in deep respect for the whole person and nature's rhythms.
Twenty years at the hospital bedside taught me that people deserve more than rushed answers and one-size-fits-all labels. I founded TruRoot Health to slow things down — to listen deeply, help you understand what's really going on, and walk beside you at a pace that honors your story and your body's natural wisdom.
I'm also a mother of two and an herbalist. I create beautiful apothecary products and tinctures, yet I deeply value the real data behind my educational roots. I attended The Ohio State University for my nursing degree, then advanced my career in Functional Medicine and Herbal Medicine Making in 2020 — and I have chosen to practice in this way ever since.

Philosophy of Care
How I Approach Wellness
Education First
Understanding comes before action. I teach you what your body is doing and why, so every choice you make is an informed one.
Whole-Person
Symptoms don't happen in isolation. I look at how your digestion, sleep, stress, and lifestyle connect and influence each other.
No Pressure
Testing and protocols are offered, never pushed. I move at the pace that's right for you, with your budget and comfort in mind.
"My mission is simple: to help you understand your health clearly enough that the next step feels obvious — and to walk beside you while you take it."

Testimonials
What Our Clients Say
Real words from people who took the next step in their wellness journey with me.
"For the first time in years, I left an appointment feeling heard rather than rushed. Rose explained the 'why' behind my symptoms in words I could actually understand. The testing was optional, clear, and never pushed on me."
"I was overwhelmed by all the wellness advice online. TruRoot Health helped me cut through the noise with practical recommendations that fit my actual life. I finally have steady energy throughout the afternoon."
"The combination of functional lab insights with simple, sustainable lifestyle changes made all the difference. Rose treated me like a whole person, not just a collection of lab numbers."
"Having a practitioner who takes time to review past labs and explain what they actually mean is rare. TruRoot Health gave me the confidence to make informed decisions about my health."
