Meet the heart behind this home

Hi, I’m Crystal.

I’m a faith-based life coach, longtime human-services leader, wife, mom, and Gigi who believes every woman deserves a softer place to breathe, grow, and begin again.

Rooted in meaningful work

Helping people recognize what is still possible.

For more than 26 years, my work has centered on helping people navigate difficult seasons, recognize their strengths, and move toward a more hopeful future. I have spent over 15 years in senior leadership and have served as a Christian life coach since 2015. I hold a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Liberty University and am a certified life coach.

Those years have taught me something I carry into everything I create: people rarely need more pressure. They need a safe place to be honest, encouragement that feels real, and someone who can help them see the strength and God-given potential they may have forgotten.

Where Rooted & Rising meets cottage living.

Rooted & Rising grew from my desire to encourage women through life’s changes—the brave beginnings, quiet rebuilding, hard decisions, and ordinary days when simply continuing is an act of faith.

Rooted Cottage Living brings that same heart into the home. I believe our surroundings can support the life we are trying to nurture. A peaceful morning corner, a simple rhythm, or a well-loved room will not make life perfect, but it can remind us to slow down, notice what is good, and make room for what matters most.

Faith-based life coaching with Crystal

Support for the season you’re in.

Just as I love seeing possibility in a well-worn piece of furniture, I care deeply about helping women recognize the possibilities in their own lives. Our worth is already there; sometimes we need space, encouragement, and support to see a way forward.

Life coaching is a thoughtful conversation with a practical purpose. Together, we can explore what matters to you, identify where you feel stuck, and choose manageable steps toward your goals. Faith, reflection, and encouragement are at the heart of my approach.

Whether you are navigating a transition, rebuilding confidence, or making room for a new rhythm, you can begin where you are.
