Coaching
The world is on fire
In a world that values profits over life, living in a way that puts people and the planet first can feel lonely and daunting. The fast-paced, always-on culture of change movements leaves little space for your humanity and ends up mirroring the systems we want to change. Instead of feeling fired up about change, you end up feeling burned out and unsure of whether change is possible.
Enter Rooted Respite, where burnout coaching meets liberation from the status quo.

Get startedSupport that gets to the ROOT
The ROOT System supports your burnout recovery and prevention by redirecting your focus to what matters: creating sustainable habits more aligned with the world you envision, your core values, and what regulates your nervous system.
Reflect
Reflect on the origins of your views on work and success to uncover deeply engrained mindsets that are no longer supportive of who you are. Coaching supports your unlearning as much as your learning so you can release what you know doesn't work to create space for what does.
Outline
Outline a vision of your life free from burnout and chronic stress. You have an idea of how you want to live, but having a crystal clear vision to work toward gives you a blueprint. Coaching helps clarify and create that blueprint with you.
Observe
Observe your present day reality and note the gaps between where you are and where you’d like to be. Coaching will help you create a clear path to align your goals with your reality.
Try
Try on new mindsets, behaviors, and habits while supporting your nervous system's healing. The coaching container is a safer space to explore your boundaries and what you need to thrive.
Coaching with Rooted Respite is
Trauma Informed
Burnout is an outcome created by a particular environment. Rather than placing the burden on the individual, Taj understands that people develop specific behaviors to adapt to toxic environments. Some of these habits may no longer be helpful, and he'll help you identify them so you can make more supportive choices in the future.
Liberation Focused
Liberation is a collective action that needs a collective vision. Coaching with Rooted Respite establishes this vision in the first few weeks of meeting and keeps it at the center of our work together. All exercises, tools, and teachings are in support of this vision with actionable steps you can implement now.
Life Centered
Our work is honest about how capitalism, colonialism, and white supremacy have damaged the land as well as our relationships to each other and the natural world. We envision a world free of exploitation and believe it is possible to achieve. By keeping you focused on the life you know is possible, the thing that matters stays at the forefront: living.
1
Acknowledge your need
There's no doubt you're committed to uprooting oppressive systems. These systems are engrained in our being so it can be hard to recognize where they still have their hooks in us. Burnout is a recognizable sign. Excessive tiredness, apathy, lack of motivation, and overwhelming stress wreak havoc on your body, mind, and spirit. There's no shame in admitting you need some help to break free.

Book a clarity call
Our free 30-minute Clarity Calls are where you first meet Taj. We'll discuss your support needs, goals, and desired outcomes from our work together. These no-pressure, conversational calls will give you an idea of what working with Taj is like so you can make an informed decision about whether you'd like to move forward. Choose between a 3-session mini-package, a 3-month package, or a 6-month package on a timeline that works for you.

Experience freedom
At the end of our work together, you will have the tools to free yourself from overwork and overwhelm. You'll understand how and where you developed habits that reinforce overworking and have tools available to help you make a different choice. You will understand your actual capacity and develop scripts that will help you set clear, compassionate, and firm boundaries. You will be able to recognize the signs of burnout in your body, mind, and spirit and know what you need to keep yourself well.
