About Us
Our Story: Rooted in Healing, Renewed by Purpose
Root & Renew Wellness was born from a deeply personal journey—one marked by profound life shifts, quiet resilience, and a deep desire to heal from the inside out. It began with a woman—Myeshia Haywood—who, after navigating seasons of personal heartbreak, chronic illness, and career burnout, chose to rewrite her story through wellness, softness, and self-reclamation.
With over 20 years of hands-on experience in massage therapy, holistic healing, and spiritual wellness, Myeshia has touched thousands of lives with her intuitive care. A graduate of the National Holistic Institute and an extern of the UC Berkeley Intercollegiate Athletics program, she bridges clinical expertise with soulful presence. Her practice was never just about the body—it has always been about renewal.
What started as a restorative sanctuary for one woman has now blossomed into a luxe, heart-led brand that serves many. From private mobile sessions to spa parties, corporate wellness retreats to her inspiring YouTube channel The Wellness Reset with Myeshia, this is more than a business—it’s a movement.
Root & Renew Wellness exists for those who are ready to soften, release, restore, and glow again. It’s for the healers, the helpers, the givers—and the souls finally ready to receive. This is our story. And now, it’s yours too.

Meet the Founder: Myeshia Haywood
Founded by Myeshia Haywood, a Holistic Somatic Healer, Licensed Massage Therapist, and Wellness Strategist, Root & Renew is more than a wellness practice—it is a movement devoted to restoring wholeness, vitality, and worth for high-performing individuals who are often left to carry the world without being held themselves.
With over 20 years of hands-on experience in therapeutic massage and holistic wellness, I created Root & Renew Wellness as a sacred response to what so many of us are missing: a place to be held, heard, and healed—without pressure to perform, prove, or push through.
I am a proud graduate of the National Holistic Institute, one of the nation’s leading massage therapy colleges. I completed my clinical externship at the University of California, Berkeley’s Intercollegiate Sports Program, where I gained specialized experience working with elite athletes, injury recovery, and performance-based bodywork.
But my true medicine lives in the moments between techniques—in my intuitive ability to read the body, sense what isn’t being said, and create space for the nervous system to soften and heal.
My approach blends years of formal training with real-life healing through:
Personal heartbreak, burnout, and chronic illness
Reclaiming identity after trauma and toxic environments
Deepening spiritual practice and ancestral healing
Restoring self-worth through softness, not hustle
This isn’t just massage. This is a ritual of return—to your breath, your body, and the life you deserve to feel safe inside.
My Work Is Rooted In:
Restorative Touch Therapy
Somatic Healing & Nervous System Support
Guided Meditation + Breathwork
Energy Work (Reiki, Crystal Healing, Sound)
Trauma-Informed (Restorative Wellness) Approach
Community Healing & Sacred Space Curation
Customized Luxe Experiences for Private Clients, Retreats, and Organizations
Who I Serve:
I work with women and men seeking:
A regulated nervous system and relief from chronic stress
Gentle support after emotional/physical trauma
Postnatal and maternal bodywork that honors the journey
A deeply intentional, elevated wellness experience
A return to self-worth, softness, and sacred balance
Whether you’re in a season of transition, recovery, or rebirth, my work meets you with grounded grace and clear intention.
Let’s Root & Renew Together
I believe healing is a homecoming—and you deserve to feel safe, empowered, and restored every step of the way.
Let’s reclaim your softness, one session at a time.
Now accepting clients in Walnut Creek, CA, and surrounding areas.
The Wellness Reset with Myeshia
Through both hands-on healing and heart-led conversations, I help you remember that your softness is sacred.
You can find me not only in the treatment room—but also on The Wellness Reset with Myeshia, my YouTube series where I share empowering reflections, sacred rituals, and wellness truths for the soul. These episodes are a digital sanctuary for anyone navigating transitions, grief, burnout, or the quiet work of becoming whole again.
