Root & Reins, led by Carrie Tarbox, M.A. Consciousness Studies and M.S. in Holistic Wellness, offers somatic, herbal and brain chemistry education for individuals and families seeking balance, clarity, and sustainable well-being. Carrie draws on over 20 years of teaching experience to guide clients in aligning learning, daily life, and self-care with principles of Scholé—a classical approach to education and living that values restful learning, depth over speed, and the cultivation of wisdom through meaningful engagement and intention.

Sessions also integrate somatic awareness—practices that build a deeper connection between mind and body, helping clients notice and respond to physical cues of stress, energy, and emotion. This fosters nervous system regulation, resilience, and more intentional choices in everyday life.

Herbal guidance is offered as a supportive option for those interested in natural wellness, with a focus on safe, practical, and age-appropriate herbs that may nurture brain health, emotional balance, and vitality according to one’s season of life aligned with the rhythm of the seasons of the year.

Root & Reins also offers limited equine-guided somatic experiences (available by referral and invitation only to preserve a personalized, trust-based environment) where deeper body–mind awareness can unfold naturally.

Whether working with parents, children, or adults of any age, Root & Reins blends research-based insight, classical wisdom, and a nature-aligned perspective to help each client flourish in their unique season of life.
