Integrative Health Coaching & Consulting

The Tender Root is a place for women navigating life with autoimmune disease and chronic illness — especially when conventional care hasn’t given you the full picture.

Welcome Home.

You Belong Here If You're Living with...

Mystery symptoms no one has fully explained

The exhaustion of feeling unheard, rushed, or dismissed in standard medical visits

An autoimmune or chronic illness diagnosis — or the suspicion of one

A desire to be treated as a whole person, not a diagnosis

Hi, I’m Arwyn.

I’m a nurse practitioner who spent over 20 years working inside the conventional medical system — and living with autoimmune disease myself. The Tender Root exists because I know, from both sides of the exam table, what it’s like to need more than a diagnosis and a follow-up in three months.

Arwyn is a gem and doing amazing work. I got more out of 30 minutes with her than I have in weeks of going to different doctors. I say all of this to say ... JUMP Arwyn. You’ve got everything it takes to be successful anywhere you choose to plant yourself!

Arwyn is a great coach! I was nervous at first, and she made me feel very comfortable by being genuine & vulnerable. She is a good listener and had so many resources: I will always use the tools & listen to the podcasts we talked about! Arwyn has a wonderful balance between being compassionate & still pointing out truth. She helped me to do things that scare me. I feel like our sessions were an amazing gift.

Arwyn, Thank you for all of the wonderful care you have provided to me. I was just reflecting on how appreciative I am of you. I have never met another healthcare provider who is more empathetic, compassionate, and active listener as you

Arwyn, I can not thank you enough for all the helpful information and for your care & concern. You genuinely made me feel heard & supported. Your knowledge, passion for the work & compassion for the patient really shines!
