How did I get here?
I’m a 50 year old driven gen-x trauma survivor and holistic professional for over 25 years, Ive not just jumped on the Spiritual Influencer bandwagon, I have a whole load of tool bag tips for holistic living to share! Here is the lowdown in my story and how I got where I am today
​
I started out my working life as a PA and Secretary from a humble Youth Training Scheme, I wanted to go to Art College but my family said NO! In my mother's words 'Go out and get a 'proper job!', so I did. I climbed up and reached 'the top' of my PA career by the age of 25, I was working for prestigious employers such as Rolls Royce and Social Services, even still this kind of job left me unfulfilled. I knew life had another caring and art based destiny for me, and to start that turned out to be Beauty and Holistic Therapy, every spare penny and minute I trained hard and gained the necessary qualifications, and eventually got the Jobs! I trained with the International Dermal Institute in Chinese Diagnosis and Natural Skin Care, and won the hard earned jobs in Natural Beauty and Holistic Therapy, I didnt stop there! I soon trained in Full Holistic Therapies, Aromatherapy, Chinese and Tibetan Acupressure, Reflexology and more! ...then loving and sharing Dance as a hobby, I trained in Dance and Choreography Degree, my passion was 'Women's Empowering Cultural Belly Dance', then I started my journey with Personal Yoga Practice and after 8 years of devoted practice I trained as a Yoga Teacher with the International Yoga Alliance (YA) now a SYT Senior Yoga Teacher with over 5000 hours of devoted Teaching hours, to share all of my passions wider I trained as a Cert Ed Adult Education Teacher and worked for Adult Education Centres, Colleges and Universities providing community Holistic Therapy workshops, Dance classes and Yoga Tuition.
WHEN COVID HIT everything came tumbling down! ...the Retreats ...the yoga classes ....and the holistic events, its took us all some time to recover since then for different reasons. I took 'Lockdown' time to advance my Practice offerings and train further into Complimentary Alternative Medicine and Meditation Practices and now offer Vital Homeopathy Treatments which balance the vital body with the Sensations Method and 1000s of beneficial healing Plant Medicines (all safe and non-psychoactive), Herbalism, Tissue Salts and Vibrational Remedies to ease emotional and mental states such as Gemstone Exilirs and Bach Flower Remedies. I also qualified in 'Trauma Informed Therapy' and 'Mindfulness and Meditation'.
​
And where am I now?
I am now dedicated to holding healing and tuition space at 'Wiseroots Holistic Temple' online and in Portugal offering you space to access powerful tools for your own and others Healing Journeys through life
'Our journey is a dance
each step is
guided by the one before'
- Cara Wiseroots
​

Welcome to Wiseroots!
Why I do it
The first thing I think of when I open my eyes in the morning is MY PERSONAL PRACTICE! every cell in my body must practice daily, it is my medicine. I LIVE it and LOVE it , with this dedication of Meditation and Yogic Pranic Healing Practice it is easy for me to pass this knowledge to you via live and online Darshan! I was christened the Yoga Name 'Cara Baba' meaning Wise Teacher in 2024
​
I know through dedicated healing practice anyone can achieve a clearer mind, steady emotions, a healthy physical body and peace follows. I went on an intensive journey of healing Plant medicines, all non psychoactive as being an empath I am very sensitive, this journey was astounding and assisted me to break free from old trauma, outdated patterns, upgrade and supercharge my healing without 'vomiting my shadow' as another sensitive healer who hasn't succumbed to yet another 'ayahuasca ceremony' puts it (but whatever floats your banana is right for you).
​​
And now in 2025 enter the grand opening of WISEROOTS RETREAT, an Eco Retreat space based in Portugal, the home of holistic wisdom healing, with organic food and Herbal Medicine Garden, and a space to share with others as we relax in the sunshine, I cannot wait what will await in the future and what new tribe awaits... do you want to come? YES JOIN US!
Fun facts about me
Did you know?
I love art
From a very young age as soon as I could pick up a pen and sewing needle I was drawing, sewing and creating! I completed my foundation in Art and dance degree in my mid 30s specialising in Dance & movement Choreography.
I am a foodie!
I love Growing food & herbs, preparing, cooking and eating food! My passion is creating delightful healthy, holistic and tasty recipes that are good for your body and soul. I trained in Basic Food Hygiene and got involved in the kitchens at communities and retreats
I am a tea belly
I love a good cuppa tea, now choosing as my daily brew Roobis (Red Bush) or White Tea these two very healthy herbal alternatives satisfy my tea love without the caffeine, (with my second love in line... ethical raw organic choccywoccy cacao!) What is life without enjoying a little of what you love?

Thats where I come in
I'm passionate about helping empaths like you to heal and grow
MY STORY
Here' the back story
I love what I do. I love creating sacred space at Wiseroots Holistic Temple Retreat Portugal and helping people as a Therapist to access powerful combined healing modalities. I had to release the deeply toxic culture surrounding me, outdated energetic contracts, and rebel against the conformity of life and society, I dont believe we are meant to barely exist like a robot in a mind numbing societal mould, I believe we are meant to thrive as a collective of individuals surrounded by a positive tribe​
​
How it started...
as a young budding PA and Secretary and part time voluntary youth & community worker in my spare time i worked long and hard hours studying Youth & Community Work and Beauty and Holistic Therapy qualifications in my spare time, and had part time jobs to make ends meet supporting my up and coming career, i was striving to grow in a caring, sharing and holistic profession work at an early age, even though my career was aimed at helping others, i didn’t realise that i was on a path to burnout and was never taught techniques by my parents, school or college to help myself with relaxation, balance or ‘energy in’:
​​
-
i was an empath caring for everyone else rather than myself (the care I wanted was 'mirrored' onto others)
-
i tried to please others before pleasing myself
-
I was worried about what other people thought and conformed to make life easy
-
I didnt have the inner confidence to love myself as I was
-
i didn’t spend enough time on self care
-
i was a people pleaser
​
Before I noticed that I was burnt out, my grandmother died suddenly and unexpectedly, the grief was terrible, instantly i couldn’t care for anyone else, I had nothing left to give, i withdrew completely from college and work, and moved away from the demanding world of college and work, my boss confronted me and I withdrew further still, eventually after 4 months of constant chronic grief and traumatic shock i reluctantly returned to work, the pressure was intense, I wasn't ready to face the world after burnout and grief-shock, worse still, in a last ditch attempt to heal i visited my doctor, asked for help and was prescribed antidepressants. Boom. I was on allopathic drugs, this only lasted 3 months! my inner knowing knew this wasn't the right path, one day I decided to stop taking them, it didn't feel right, then my traumatic event triggered an autoimmune condition - Psoriasis! that is exacerbated by stress.
​​
I couldn’t do it anymore. Things had to change. I had to slow down and find a way to unwind that incorporated my whole being- mind, body and soul. I accessed counselling through my Doctor and the traditional (non holistic) counselling sessions failed miserably, I had to take matters into my own hands as there was no other options available ...ENTER YOGA, helping me to de-stress, and I never looked back! This was my 'new antidepressant pill' in the form of a yoga class, together with Reiki and Meditation, my practice instantly helped me feel calmer and more centered during life's turbulent times
Now, it is my absolute passion and joy to share the same healing tools that saved me from the failing western system that cannot help people with deep issues such as chronic stress, anxiety, burnout, grief, trauma or fear! With every session I practiced my health, emotional and mental balance improved without the need for prescribed drugs, boring 'mirror technique' traditional counselling sessions or feeling like I was loosing it anymore. There isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ approach to inner healing work - rather there are many 'tool kits' that I offer for different situations
​
But we are all guilty!
Do you constantly block your own healing with negative mind-chatter? or heavy negative self talk? Do you know if you are being drained of energy and holding onto others energy cords? Do you struggle with old energy patterns re-playing in a loop of constant trauma? do you have negative attachments or addictions to drugs, food or negative passtimes? do you feel low in energy or easily drained by others? do you think you have aura or chakra damage? can you feel imbalances in your energy field or chakras? if YES, I can help
There is a way forward to healing, creating deeper positive relationships and better ways of living on earth than just conformity within the matrix that don't work full of stress and hustle!

​​
My clients and Visitors are ready to find their healing space and inner calm
​
Sound like you?
My why:
I believe that
we all deserve to have a good holistic life filled with genuine experiences that fill up our cup and sing to our soul as well as to be surrounded and supported by 'our tribe' whilst caring for the Eco systems that surrounds us
​​
I believe that
As an Empath we need a balance of productivity and rest, work and play in equal measure, and nurture the flow of enJOYment through meditation and yoga (the great union of body and mind) to appreciate everything around us as we see ourselves as part of a conscious web of energy that surrounds us to our environment and others
​​
I believe that
We need to rest and 'retreat', we know that our mind and body is not meant to be switched on all the time, and that to find a sacred space is waiting for you is one of the most important things you can do for your wellbeing
