Our Mission

Rooted & Resilient is a space for honest conversations about healing, where nervous system regulation meets resilience, and both physical and mental health are explored through a grounded, open-minded lens.

🩺 Other Alternative Healing Modalities

Our goal is to leave no stone unturned as we explore healing modalities, regulation techniques, and ways to come back home to ourselves.

I’m Abigail Fernald — runner, writer, and fellow spoonie who understands what it means to live in a body that doesn’t always feel safe.

I’ve navigated years of chronic Lyme disease, co-infections, mold illness, and nervous system dysregulation. There have been seasons of being bedbound with POTS, navigating strict diets due to MCAS, and feeling housebound from agoraphobia rooted in a dysregulated nervous system.

I know how isolating, confusing, and exhausting it can be — physically, emotionally, and mentally. This space was created with that understanding in mind.

“From one spoonie to another: you are seen.”
