Roots & Restore
Plant-based cleansing and cooking classes for women

Nourish. Reset. Restore.

A gentle approach to restore health and vitality.

At Roots & Restore, j9 personally teaches and guides gentle, plant-based food cleanses in small, supportive groups twice a year—in spring and fall. Participants prepare their own meals while learning practical habits for digestive well-being and everyday vitality. Self-directed cleansing, green juice training, and plant-based dessert classes are also available.

Eat a rainbow of roots, greens, and colorful vegetables.

Better digestion. A clearer mind. Greater balance. Healthier habits for life.
