At Rooted Oak Retreat

We envision a sanctuary where individuals can disconnect from the noise of daily life and reconnect with their inner peace, personal growth, and a supportive community. Through transformative wellness experiences, we strive to create a space of renewal, balance, and lasting transformation.

Hi, I’m Amberly.

After two decades of raising a blended family, 2024 marked a turning point—I became an empty nester. With my daughters and my husband’s sons off carving their own paths, I felt both the ache of transition and the spark of possibility.

My life has woven through interior design, teaching, publishing, and the beauty industry—but more than any role, I’ve been shaped by the depth of love, loss, trauma, and healing I’ve experienced. Through therapy, faith, friendship, retreats, and time in nature, I’ve found my way back to myself time and time again.

I don’t believe everything happens for a reason, but I do believe that when tragedy strikes, we have a choice: to remain in pain or to transform it into purpose.

Rooted Oak Retreat was born from that journey—from a desire to turn pain into purpose and create a space where others can experience deep restoration and connection.

At Rooted Oak, we offer more than a retreat. We offer a sanctuary—where guests feel grounded, supported, and seen. A place for reflection, renewal, and transformation.

Wherever you’re coming from, you’re welcome here.
