Hi there! I’m Joanna Ferreri
as a guide to soul-centered healing from chronic pain, chronic stress, treatment for headaches, migraines, and low back pain
I earned my degree in physical therapy from Ithaca College in 2013 and have since worked across a range of settings - including traumatic brain injury rehabilitation, home-based care for adults and children, and pediatric motion analysis. Over time, I began to notice something missing: despite all the clinical training and experience, there was little space for the deeper, internal aspects of healing - the intuitive, often unseen forces that truly guide recovery.
I founded Roots Unbound to help bridge that gap. By integrating Eastern spiritual traditions with Western scientific understanding, I offer a holistic approach to healing - one that honors both body and spirit. This work is about creating a space where you can reconnect with your own inner wisdom and trust in your body’s ability to heal from within.
It’s a privilege to walk this path with you.

You’ve got questions. That’s amazing - stay curious! Nobody has all the answers, but peek below for practical information!
Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, full-body healing practice that supports your body in releasing held tension and restoring balance. Developed by Dr. John Upledger in the 1980s, this subtle hands-on approach works with the nervous system, fascia, and deeper rhythms of the body to help you unwind from physical and emotional stress. By creating space for stillness and inner awareness, craniosacral therapy invites your body’s natural wisdom—your inner physician—to guide the healing process.
No! This is not a replacement for chiropractic, massage, or physical therapy. I am not practicing any licensed modality. I draw on my background as a doctorate in physical therapy with over 12 years of experience to gently guide a holistic process that supports your body’s own ability to heal. This work is a great complement to other treatments—before, between, or alongside them.
