Dominique Ross

With prior corporate experience in organizational development and training, plus over a decade of working with children as a school counselor, Dominique brings a deep level of compassion and mentorship to her work. She understands the importance and need to help our youth reduce stress and anxiety, and she has the gift of helping them find their voice and discover their truth. She is passionate about supporting adult learners as they embark on new pathways of learning and personal growth.

Her experience as an herbalist and teacher for The Boston School of Herbal Studies provides the foundation necessary to share information about plants in ways that are thorough, inspiring, and invite curiosity. This along with her knowledge gained as a certified aromatherapist provides Dominique with the ability to combine these tools in ways that allow her to work with people on the many levels required to achieve balance. She understands the importance of reconnecting people to nature and the healing that this relationship promotes.

Dominique’s desire to help others has also inspired her to become a Reiki Master, a Spiritual Life Coach, and attain her Level 1 and 2 certifications in Hand Analysis through the American Academy of Hand Analysis.  This constellation of skills and passions is what motivated Dominique to start her own business in February 2023, Rooted Life Sanctuary, LLC.

Dominique currently works for The Boston School of Herbal Studies where her impeccable soft skills enable her to interact with all levels and ages of students and to create an atmosphere of inclusiveness and community. Her organizational proficiency and business acumen bring a higher level of functioning and stability to everything we do.

When not teaching or running her business, she spends her time raising her two young daughters, engaging in her own healing journey and spiritual growth story, and lovingly tending her herb garden where she grows medicinal herbs to support family and community.
