We were lucky to catch up with Mariya Javed-payne And Greg Payne recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Mariya Javed-Payne and Greg Payne, thanks for joining us today. So let’s jump to your mission – what’s the backstory behind how you developed the mission that drives your brand?

Our mission at Awakened Roots is to cultivate wellness of body, mind, emotions, and spirit. We believe that as we help improve the lives of our clients, one at a time, we create ripples of healing that spread further and further into the larger community. We offer powerful modalities inviting our clients to heal at deep levels by reconnecting with their innate healing wisdom and releasing old emotions, energies, and traumas. Our clients progressively become lighter and freer to act in greater alignment with their core values.

At Awakened Roots, we share a deep commitment to growth, wholeness, and serving others that scaffolds all that we do, whether working one-on-one or hosting larger group healing events. Our company is born from the idea that we as a society have lost connection to holistic healing practices and connection to our bodies, and this reconnection can help restore health from the ground up.

We hope to share the tools and wisdom we have gained and empower everyone who comes in contact with Awakened Roots.

Mariya Javed-Payne and Greg Payne, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

We (Greg and Mariya) each developed passions for healing first in pursuit of our own well-being, then branched out to serve others in our communities. As we devoted ourselves to living more consciously and in alignment with nature over the years, we developed a sense of the profound need for holistic healing that is missing in our world. Allopathic and Western medicine aren’t keeping up with the dis-ease rampant in the world. We also learned how to develop and trust in our own unique gifts to cultivate profound healing, deeper awareness, and lasting relief for mind, body, and spirit for others. This has required us to face our fears of being seen and work through our own blocks to connection. By doing this, we can truly give from a place that is healthy and clear inside of us.

The people of Earth are facing multiple crises related to our survival, and the need for care that gets to the “root” or the heart of the matter has never been greater. Awakened Roots was founded to fill that need and improve the lives of as many people as possible, using tools that are adept at getting to the common sources of our issues- the body and nervous system.

We offer a variety of specialized healing methods, including breathwork, Brainspotting, Reiki, energy healing, personalized coaching, and more. Brainspotting may be chosen to uproot and release distressing emotional/behavioral patterns and attachment issues. We may choose breathwork to reset the nervous system or to clear a heavy subconscious block. The Awakened Roots client experience begins with an in-depth interview to get to the heart of the person’s core issue. From there, we create a custom plan to produce the greatest healing benefit within the shortest time span. Healing begins from our first contact with clients through compassionate listening and establishing an authentic human-to-human connection.

We work primarily through one-on-one appointments or group gatherings that are either virtual or in-person. Our sessions may focus on a single healing modality, or we may utilize multiple modalities in concert. For example, Reiki can enhance breathwork integration if someone has a big experience and needs to be guided back into the present moment afterward. We work with issues ranging from complex trauma, mood challenges, neurodivergence, developmental patterns, major life transitions, and more. Our goal is to create meaningful improvements in our clients’ well-being and lifestyle, no matter what history or challenges they bring into our healing space.

Awakened Roots distinguishes itself by its ability to adjust to individuals’ needs with a multi-layered and highly empathic approach. Our mission is motivated by the awareness that each visit with a client presents the opportunity to heal and awaken them from the roots up. As each person heals, the world becomes a healthier place for all.

Any advice for growing your clientele? What’s been most effective for you?

Our most effective pathway to new clientele is word-of-mouth stories from our clients who have had life changing experiences. There isn’t a better compliment than to know you’ve had an impact on someone’s life in a good way and they share this with others. When a client truly benefits from working with us, they can tell their story as advocates for both our company and holistic healing itself. The second most effective source of new clients has been hosting group healing sessions that give newcomers the chance to get to know us before beginning a one-on-one relationship with Greg or Mariya.

We’d love to hear about how you keep in touch with clients.

We stay in touch with clients by hosting two breathwork group events per month, one in person and one virtually. We also maintain active social media feeds to share healing snippets and information about upcoming events. Find us at Awakened Roots on Facebook or @awakenedroots_healing on Instagram. These methods maintain regular contact with clients to cultivate lasting relationships. Lastly, practicing integrity in all that we do builds and maintains customer loyalty and trust and is the foundation of who we are.
