About Root & Ritual Collective
Founded in 2026 by a husband-and-wife duo, Root & Ritual Collective was created as a space to slow down, reconnect, and gather in community through intentional movement and meaningful experiences.
Born from a shared passion for wellness, connection, and hospitality, Root and Ritual blends movement, mindfulness, and curated gatherings designed to nourish both body and soul.
We believe wellness is found in the small rituals. The moments that bring us back to ourselves and to one another. Through yoga flows, wine gatherings, and intentional experiences, we create welcoming spaces for all, rooted in presence, community, and everyday life.
Whether you’re joining us for movement, coversation, or simply a moment to pause, our hope is that you leave feeling grounded, connected, and restored.
Meet Hailee
Hailee’s journey has always been rooted in connection, community, and creating meaningful experiences for others. With a background spanning both the hospitality and wine industries, she has spent years cultivating spaces that feel warm, intentional, and welcoming.
Her yoga practice began in 2019 and quickly became more than movement — it became a grounding ritual and a way to reconnect with herself through every season of life. Recently becoming a certified yoga teacher, Hailee is continuing to deepen her studies through a 300-hour advanced yoga teacher training beginning in September 2026.
Drawn to the balance of mindfulness, gathering, and shared experience, Hailee believes the most memorable moments are often the simplest: moving together, sharing conversation over a glass of wine, and creating space to slow down.
Together, Hailee and Nick created Root & Ritual as an extension of those values — blending intentional movement, curated experiences, and genuine community into something that feels both elevated and approachable.
Meet Nick
Originally from England, Nick moved to North America in 2011 and has spent the last decade immersed in the hospitality industry, cultivating a deep appreciation for connection, experience, and the art of gathering around a table.
A Certified Sommelier since 2017, Nick also holds a Level 3 Award in Wines from the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET), combining extensive wine knowledge with an approachable, welcoming style that makes wine feel both elevated and accessible.
His passion lies in creating meaningful experiences through thoughtfully curated wines, storytelling, and shared moments. Whether guiding a tasting, exploring new regions and varietals, or helping others discover a wine they truly love, Nick believes wine is at its best when it brings people together.
Together, Nick and Hailee created Root & Ritual as a space centered around intentional gathering, warmth, and community — blending movement, conversation, and curated experiences designed to feel both grounding and inspiring.
