Designed to Empower Practitioners to Lead Through Embodiment
A movement
the time is now
If you’ve found yourself here, chances are you’ve felt the frustration of navigating a system that treats symptoms instead of people.
Maybe you've been dismissed, burned out, or left wondering if there's a deeper way to heal—not just for yourself, but for others too.
At Deepening Roots, we believe becoming a practitioner isn’t about chasing credentials—it’s about embodying the wisdom you’ve gained through your own healing and learning to guide others from that place of truth. Our program blends root-cause education, functional lab training, and holistic principles so you can support deep transformation—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
You’re not here for a side hustle. You’re here to build a life of purpose, to serve with integrity, and to reclaim what it means to truly heal.
This is your path—and we’re here to walk it with you.
Breaking the mold
Caryn Webster
Practitioner + Mentor + Founder
I’m here to be the practitioner and mentor I wish I had when I first began my journey into holistic healing. Every challenge along the way—from navigating complex cases to unraveling the layers of mineral imbalance—has shaped my work and deepened my commitment to root-cause healing.
With over a decade of experience in clinical practice, Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), and holistic nutrition, I’ve supported hundreds of clients in reclaiming their health. Now, through Deepening Roots, I guide aspiring practitioners as they step into their own power—equipped with clinical tools, intuition, and clarity to help others heal.
My greatest joy? Watching transformations unfold—when someone remembers who they are, reconnects to their body’s wisdom, and begins to thrive. That’s the work I live for, and I’m honored to walk this path alongside you.

Program Duration & Journey
The Deepening Roots program is designed to be completed in approximately six months, on average. However, we honor the unique pace of every member and the sacred process of tuning in, grounding themselves, and allowing their practice to unfold in alignment with their life and calling. This isn’t a race—it’s a journey. While the foundation can be built in six months, the path of a practitioner is a lifelong evolution. Deepening Roots offers the rich soil from which you can rise, recalibrate, and continue growing for years to come. This is where your plateau becomes your launchpad.
Books & Supplies
All members enrolled in Deepening Roots will receive their textbooks and core materials as part of their tuition—no separate purchases required. As you move through the course and deepen your knowledge, especially in herbalism, you may choose to gather additional tools or ingredients to begin building your own personal apothecary. These extra supplies are completely optional and often reflect your unique niche and interests as a developing practitioner. For members enrolled in Functional Labs self-study courses, no additional textbooks or purchases are required.
