Konversation with Alyse Rothenberg: Holistic Health & Wellness Advocate
For this week’s Konversation, we interviewed Alyse Rothenberg (simplyrootedhealth), a holistic health and wellness coach and advocate. On Konversai, Alyse offers sessions on nutrition, yoga, stress management, mindset, and essential oils. Learn more about Alyse and how she can support you on your journey towards leading a healthier and more fulfilled life.
Konversai: What do you do professionally?
Alyse: I work full time in customer service for company that provides medial grade braces to people on Medicare. I work part time as a yoga instructor, health coach, and Dottera essential oil distributer. I am building my business out of my part-time work.
Konversai: What does a typical day look like for you?
Alyse: I get up between 5:20-5:40am to get ready for work and work from 7:30am-4pm. On Wednesday and Friday mornings, I get up at 4:30am to teach a 6am yoga class. Some days after work, I have business meetings with my business partner. I also teach yoga on Wednesdays after work and sometimes sub other days. The days I don’t have anything, I go home (maybe after grocery shopping) and relax, work out, make dinner. I hang out with my roommate. I then also try to get some work done on my business. I talk to my boyfriend on the phone and then go to bed.
Konversai: How did you end up where you are today?
Alyse: Faith, belief, dreaming, and action! I was a preschool teacher and was unhappy and not treated well in each job I got. I love holistic health and have always been good at helping people. Through my own drive and passion and encouragement from my friends, I went for it. I went back to school and changed my career. I persevered and went through some times of unemployment and kept my faith and dreams still alive in my heart and mind. I took action to get where I am, but I am still growing.
Konversai: What is your favorite thing about what you do?
Alyse: I love helping people, being a vehicle for them to make a change, and seeing them get better. I love having an influence on someone else’s life in a positive way.
Konversai: Do you have a favorite session that you offer on Konversai? If so, what is it, and why?
Alyse: That is a hard question because I love all my sessions. I would say the essential oils and nutrition sessions. I enjoy the essential oils session because it is new to a lot of people and holistic approaches can be scary to do on your own. I love bringing new information and options to people. And I enjoy the nutrition session because I feel this is something with which many people struggle and need support. Also, many people are not aware of how food affects our body, so teaching people that food is powerful and that you can make a change just with your diet is so satisfying.
Konversai: What do you like best about being a provider on Konversai?
Alyse: I like that it is online and can reach many people. I like that it is free to sign up and use. Having to pay to even sign up for a resource can be hard.
Konversai: Why would you encourage a user to book a session with you (something unique about what you offer)?
Alyse: I encourage others to book a session with me because I connect well with people and can really help others feel empowered to have an impact on their health. I help others become more in tune with themselves and give them the knowledge that helps them understand why I make the suggestions I do.
Konversai: Are there sessions that you are excited about taking with other providers on the platform? Which ones? What are you hoping to learn more about?
Alyse: I would love to learn more about Reiki and perhaps have a distance Reiki session done on me.
Konversai: What do you enjoy doing outside of work and Konversing?
Alyse: Outside of work and Konversai, I enjoy spending time with my boyfriend and friends, yoga, fitness, karaoke, cooking, hiking, going to the beach, spending time in nature, reading, watching movies, and going to coffee houses.
Konversai: Anything else you want to share with our users and potential users?
Alyse: You will leave your session with me feeling inspired and having learned something new!
