About Devon
Helping women reconnect with themselves and create a life that finally fits.
Hi, I’m Devon Vernetti, creator of The Root to Rise Method™, a five-phase framework designed to help women regulate their nervous systems, release what no longer fits, and move forward with clarity and purpose.
For more than a decade, I worked as a Doctor of Chinese Medicine and acupuncturist, helping women heal their bodies and restore balance in their lives.
But over time, I noticed something deeper.
Many women weren’t just dealing with physical symptoms.
They were navigating major life transitions—careers shifting, identities evolving, families changing, and a quiet question emerging:
Is this the life I’m meant to be living?
Midlife wasn’t a crisis --- It's a turning point.
Curious where you are in your reinvention journey?
Take the Root to Rise Nervous System Quiz to discover what your nervous system needs to feel grounded and supported.
The Turning Point
A few years ago, my own life cracked open.
Within a short period of time, I lost my father to pancreatic cancer, our home was destroyed in a fire, and my family was navigating profound challenges and change.
Everything I thought was stable suddenly wasn’t.
In the middle of that uncertainty, I realized something important:
Real transformation doesn’t begin with pushing harder.
It begins with creating safety and stability in the nervous system.
Only then can we clearly see who we are, what we want, and what comes next.
That realization became the foundation for the work I now teach.
The Root to Rise Method™ is a five-phase process that helps women move through life transitions with clarity and confidence.
Instead of forcing change, we start with the foundation.
Root: Regulate the nervous system & restore a sense of safety & grounding.
Release: Let go of patterns, pressure, & expectations that no fit you.
Radiate: Reconnect with your voice, energy, and authentic expression.
Recenter: Align priorities, boundaries, & decisions with what matters most.
Rise: Move forward with clarity, confidence, and purposeful action.
Because before you can rise into the next chapter of your life…
you have to be rooted.
Not Sure Where to Start?
Many women arrive here because they feel:
• stuck
• overwhelmed
• unsure about your next chapter
The truth is, transformation happens in phases.
Take the Root to Rise Nervous System Quiz to discover how regulated your nervous system is and what your body needs to feel grounded and safe again.
Why My Approach Is Different
Most personal development focuses on mindset and productivity.
But if your nervous system is overwhelmed, even the best strategies won’t stick.
My work blends:
• Traditional Chinese Medicine philosophy
• Nervous system regulation tools
• Emotional integration practices
• Practical life alignment
The result is a process that helps women not just improve their lives—but rebuild them from the inside out.
A Little More About Me
Outside of my work, you’ll usually find me:
• Walking along the Monterey coastline
• Journaling and reflecting at sunrise
• Studying Chinese medicine philosophy
• Talking with women about what midlife really means
I believe midlife isn’t about starting over.
It’s about coming home to yourself.

“After going through a year of personal challenges that were all beyond my control, it wrecked havoc on myself mentally and physically. I was seeking an alternative to kickstart my life , get my health back, and get ready for the future. My impression from initial call was that this was going to be impactful. Devon listens to you and how you feel and her coaching provides a community. You aren't alone!
