FEEDING YOUR WILD RETREAT is a journey designed to reclaim the wise & wild woman inside you — a roadmap to get unstuck, reconnected with your inner guide & nature, and deeply rooted inside a supportive community.
IT'S TIME TO RADICALLY NOURISH ALL PARTS OF YOU & RECLAIM YOUR WILD.
We are WISE. Women have an innate knowing and connection to intuition & spirit that - if we allow it - guides us through our lives with more ease + grace.
When we get disconnected from our Wise Woman...
- we lose trust in our bodies
- we disconnect from intuition & our own medicine
- we live life from a place of fear, stress, and overwhelm.
We are WILD. We are nature. In this technological age, it's SO easy to be disconnected from Mother Earth and forget this...
When we are disconnected from this wild, natural part of ourselves...
- we experience greater health challenges
- we lose our sense of purpose
- we treat our bodies & selves with a lack of respect and reverence.
I created the FEEDING YOUR WILD Retreat to reconnect you to the very source of your power as a woman, and use that connection to support your healing journey & highest vision for your life.
The reasons to join us at the FEEDING YOUR WILD Retreat are as unique as each one of our sisters (and wildflowers on the land :) However, many women come to this retreat having experiences + desires like these:
You desire to lead a healthy sustainable lifestyle that supports your highest vision for yourself, boosting confidence and happiness, loving your body, and having more energy and vibrancy to do the things you’ve been wanting to do and live your life to the fullest.
You have chronic health challenges that are holding you back, such as chronic pain, fatigue, skin issues, digestive issues, endometriosis, autoimmunity & are looking for deeper holistic support.
You've tried various therapies, treatments, dieting, pills, and more on your own and are READY to take back ownership and power of your health + life.
You are being called to go DEEP with your soul journey and nourish ALL parts of you - body, mind, & soul.
You want to feel EMPOWERED, deeply connected to your creative feminine power, intuition + nature, fully embodied in your knowing and capacity for healing...
And you crave REAL connection with nature + other SOULFUL women who are on a similar path.
IT STARTS WITH YOU.
When you give yourself the gift of turning inward and nourishing both the Wise and Wild parts of you, it not only transforms your INNER world... it radiates into ALL aspects of your life, including your family, relationships, work, & health.

I'm Venessa Rodriguez, CHHC, MS
Functional Nutritionist, Intuitive Nourishment Coach & Creative Spirit Coaxer.
I'm the founder of Wildly Rooted, where I offer a unique blend of modern functional nutrition tools, ancient holistic healing modalities, nature-based ritual, and intuitive coaching to help wild-hearted visionary women build physical health & vitality so they can unleash their creativity, tap into their spirituality and support what they really want to get in their health & life.
My intention for this retreat is to help YOU do the same, and to do it with CONFIDENCE, CLARITY, CONNECTION, & COMMUNITY. If you are over cookie-cutter approaches to health and ready to get wildly rooted and start loving your body + life, you’re in the right place.
“Venessa is multidimensional and unique in her approach, bringing together her spiritual wisdom as well as detailed scientific knowledge about gut health, neurotransmitters, food and mood, systems in the body and how it all comes together.
I feel completely supported by her in terms of my health and nourishment.
Her akashic reading was profound and touched my soul in just the right way for my healing path and spiritual nutrition. Her intuitive nature helped me feel more confident in my own intuition whether that be about eating or my spiritual knowing. Venessa is a gem!”
Your retreat was a trove of introspection and new questions. I thoroughly enjoyed the topics we discussed. I am continuing my journey of self discovery as well as how what I eat influences who I am. I love the term "food as medicine".
I am so into discovering who we are and where we are going in relation to the time and environment we currently live in. Your retreat opened a crack in that door. I have been on a journey of discovery of who I am and what it means to this time. I am on a journey to better health that I have considered a great success.
This is where my journey began. I need to be healthy and the best me I can be for my family that remains. Your retreat felt like this was something "just for me" and it was so needed at this time.

Akashic Reading with Venessa valued at $180.
“Venessa recently helped me tame a health issue I've struggled with for nearly 10 years. Not one doctor was able to help me in the way she did!
My Akashic reading experience with Venessa was amazing. She made me feel very comfortable. I immediately knew that I was in good hands and that she had only good intentions for me. The reading brought so much up for me, and even now, several months later, I'm still receiving from that experience. She even sent me additional readings that correlated with what was brought up and she provided me with some ideas for releasing and healing. Venessa is full of knowledge. It was a beautiful experience for me.”

I was afraid that nothing could help me because I had already tried so many things and worked with many health professionals. You're wonderful, hopeful, patient, knowledgeable, understanding, realistic, and a great listener. I've already been recommending your offerings because I believe you can help improve many more lives just like you helped me. I feel much healthier and I now know what to eat to maintain my health. I've learned a lot about my body and what it needs.
