While the plan for Grounding Roots came to fruition twelve years ago, the foundation of Grounding Roots started over three decades ago when Cara and Amanda became friends
Amanda and Cara grew up as childhood friends. They bonded over good laughs, commiserating over the same strange symptoms, and a shared commitment to living well. As adults, they continued those health-focused lifestyles and believed they were doing everything right. However, both women later received unexpected Lyme disease diagnoses. That moment changed everything.
When Healing Became the Focus
Healing did not follow a straight path. There were setbacks, uncertainty, and hard decisions along the way. Still, Amanda and Cara learned to trust the body’s ability to recover when given the right support.
Through that process, they discovered something that would shape their future. Functional, natural nutrition made a real difference in their healing. Thoughtfully crafted products also helped restore balance. Over time, this approach became foundational to how they lived.
From Survival to Shared Purpose
What started as survival slowly turned into purpose.
With steady support from their husbands, healing became a family effort. Amanda’s husband began making fresh, nutrient-dense juices to support recovery. He experimented with ingredients that fueled the body at a cellular level. Meanwhile, Cara’s husband offered consistent support behind the scenes. His encouragement helped transform ideas into action.
Together, they built something rooted in care, intention, and love.
How Grounding Roots Took Shape
Out of that season, Amanda and Jed built Grounding Roots. They didn’t want to create just another wellness brand. Instead, they shaped a company based on lived experience.
With each product, they asked one guiding question: Would this truly support someone on their healing journey? Because of that standard, every offering reflects the same care that supported their own recovery.
Twelve Years In, and Still Growing
Now, Grounding Roots celebrates 12 years. What began between two friends has grown into a community rooted in trust, nature, and resilience. Every product still carries the same intention that guided the beginning. Above all, it exists to nourish the body and honor its innate wisdom.
Our hope remains simple. We want to inspire and equip others to take ownership of their wellness journey. One step. One sip. One day at a time.
Thank you for being part of our story.
Rooted in nature,
Cara & Amanda 🌱
