Our History

Third Roots History

Third Root’s doors opened in August of 2008, and has been running steady ever since! We began with 7 worker-owners, who were pertinent to the founding of the organization and allowing it to stand and toddle, 5 of whom have now moved out of the city or moved on to new work. Third Root is currently operated by 5 worker-owners, many of whom practice more than one modality. We have grown structurally and now have a number of practitioners on staff as well as an administrative team in addition.

One of our goals is for everyone who walks through our doors to see their identity reflected in our practitioners. This is a way to enable visitors, patients, and students to feel seen, their experience felt, and their fabulous self celebrated. It can be quite radical to see a black acupuncturist, a queer massage therapist, a Latina herbalist because of the way that these modalities have historically intersected with capitalism and their histories erased, exotified, or vilified. We honor the complex history of the holistic modalities that we practice at Third Root, seeing the cultural context of the modality as vital to our understanding and practice of the healthcare tools and philosophy.

Our practitioners are trained not only in their modality of practice, but also in facilitation, consensus, and anti-oppression, in recognition of the fact that healers are cultural workers as well as healthcare workers. Our goal is to provide transformative care, that allows us to find more health and peace as individuals, and also provides a vision for transformation in healthcare and as a more just community, city, and country.
