Rooted Growth Coaching · Via Zoom

Your vision is not lost.
It is waiting to be
given space.

You don’t have to effort your way forward. When you connect with the energy of what you truly want to create, you are led naturally — at the pace of your own inner wisdom.

The Work

A different way
of moving forward

This is not about efforting. It is about connecting — with the energy of your vision, with your body’s deep knowing, with the part of you that has always understood what wants to be created.

When given the space to open and express, that inner wisdom often flows quickly and powerfully. What laid dormant as a seed gets the sunlight and water it needs to germinate and begin to grow.

Together, we activate a different operating system — one that is embodied, aware, and connected. One that originates from a place of greater alignment and ease. As we do this work, there’s an opportunity to reprogram old patterns: to move from shoulding, comparison, and obligation into something that feels truly free and alive.

What is cleared in one area — using somatic, emotional mastery, mindset, behavioral and unconscious tools, woven in if and as they serve you — ripples out to all others.

Is This For You?

You tend to others.
Who holds space for you?

This work is especially for those who give to others day in and day out — and who haven’t yet had the space to feel into what truly lights them up. You may have an inkling. A persistent sense of something that wants to come through you. A whisper that keeps returning.

“If this were the best year of your life, what will have happened?”

This is the kind of question we begin with. Not obligation. Not comparison. Not old narratives. From this place, the process feels markedly different — truly free, truly yours. And when you create from here, you become part of a larger shift: a world led by its deepest wisdom.

You may be in a life or career transition, reclaiming your health, building a business, longing for deeper connection, or stepping from the first half of life into the second. Whatever has been quietly calling — this is the space to listen.

S.K. Fishback, root + thrive coaching

slow down, reconnect and build a life aligned with your truth

Mastery Method Coach

Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach

Hi, I’m S.K. Fishback. root + thrive coaching is my love note to the twists and turns of life — and an invitation for you to write yours. I help people slow down, reconnect with themselves, and build a life aligned with their truth. It’s a sacred honor, and it lights me up every single day.

For years I moved fast: competitive sports, Silicon Valley tech, business school, one ladder after another. Then motherhood arrived, and with it, a slow unraveling I didn’t see coming — mystery symptoms that built, chapter by chapter, until one day I woke up bedridden, wondering if this was my life. It came as a shock. It was also, somehow, a gift. Slowing down — for years — invited me to reinhabit myself and lovingly confront my blocks and patterns in a way that speed and efforting never had.

Initially, I pursued coach training to find the community, knowledge and tools to support my physical recovery, but found I wanted to go deeper. I continued training, adding in mindset work, emotional mastery, and somatic tools to get to the root, trying it all on myself first. The resulting shifts have been deep and integrated in a way I didn’t imagine possible. It changed how I understood personal power and growth and, paradoxically, taught me to treasure my edges. All of this has flowered into root + thrive — a broader transformation coaching practice rooted in the same principles that changed my own life.

Now I get to share this work with others, and I don’t take that lightly. Holding space for others to allow their vision to come to life is one of the great honors of my life. I’m endlessly grateful for the path that led me here.

Earning a B.A. from Dartmouth College and an M.B.A. with a focus in Social Entrepreneurship from The Fuqua School of Business at Duke University informed the way I think.

I’m a Mastery Method Coach through Alyssa Nobriga’s ICF-accredited Institute for Coaching Mastery. Alyssa worked as a licensed psychotherapist for 20 years and brings a depth and breadth of tools to coaching that are, in my experience, astonishing and profoundly supportive.

Though I focus more broadly, I’m certified as a Functional Medicine Health Coach through the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy (FMCA), created in partnership with the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), which is fully approved by the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching (NBHWC).

How We Work

Loving, consistent connection, support, and accountability

01
Connect & Illuminate

I hold the spotlight on you — so that what has been waiting in the wings can come forward. We connect with the energy of your vision, not as a goal to chase, but as something already alive in you.

02
Develop Momentum

Through weekly sessions, regular homework, consistent presence and your wisdom in action, you build real momentum. Wins unfold. Clarity deepens. What once felt out of reach begins to take shape.

03
Clear & Thrive

Obstacles arise — this is natural and welcome. Together we bring presence to whatever surfaces, clearing it at the root so you can move forward with ease. What shifts in one area ripples everywhere.

Work Together

A personalized program
designed for you

The goals you’re reaching for are actually pointing you toward a feeling state that’s available to you right now. From that place, everything shifts — including how you move toward your goals. Through consistent sessions, homework and ongoing support, you’ll rewire the stories that have kept you small and step into your aliveness — becoming lighter, freer, and genuinely at home in your own life.
