We had the good fortune of connecting with Rose Wheel and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Rose, is your business focused on helping the community? If so, how?
There is something so powerful that happens when we come together in community to share moments of breathwork, meditation, sound and even silence together. My personal opinion is, we are so much stronger as a community therefore when we choose to upgrade our vibration in community it happens on a much greater scale. We are after all tribal beings and thrive in community settings. We are meant to lean on one another, support one another and grow together.
My mission with Bloom with Rose is to bring the community together to grow, glow and thrive together. Through meditation, sound and breath-work we are able to tap into our own individual well-being while becoming stronger as a collective: forming bonds and sharing experiences together. I strongly believe every human has something they are ready to release and let go of however until we give ourselves the time and space to do so it just gets piled on with everything else. It critical to make time to lighten the load and release what is no longer serving you to avoid overwhelm and burn out. As a huge self-care advocate, I know we must take care of our own mental health first so we are pouring from an overflowing cup rather than a depleted one.
What should our readers know about your business?
Bloom with Rose was born through the journey I have walked for the past 7 years. Along the way I have collected different modalities that I hold close to my heart, practices that have moved mountains for me personally and I wanted to put together an offering to others walking a similar path, seeking more and longing for community. I know what it’s like to want more but not know where to begin, there’s so much online and you can really get stuck in analysis paralysis and never even start due to the overwhelm. Currently I offer ceremonies, classes and courses that anybody could join at any point in their journey. I meet my students where they are at while encouraging them to step outside of their comfort zone.
Being that I was in a corporate work environment for 16 years I am all too familiar with overwhelm and how much of a toll it can take on one’s personal life, family life and mental health. So, I took the bold step to leave my stable and successful corporate job to fulfill my own dream of helping others learn how to take their power back. I knew I had a greater mission and was not living my life to my fullest potential by living someone else’s dream. Now that I am spreading my wings and watching Bloom with Rose flourish my whole life makes so much more sense now.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My very first mentor Daniella Cotreau helped me lay the foundation for my yogic path, teaching me about yoga philosophy, breathwork, meditation, healing childhood wounds and so much more.
My meditation teacher Davidji showed me what it possible and has always supported my journey and offered excellent guidance all while staying light-hearted and is a constant reminder to not take life so seriously.
The Love Yourself Collective that has welcomed me with open arms, held me accountable to my yoga practice and is constantly providing truth bombs daily, collabs to come!
Angie from Fresh Face and Soul by Angie for providing Bloom with Rose our first home and landing pad in downtown Carlsbad. You can find me there on Sundays.
Last but definitely not least, Strength in the City. They have provided me with opportunities within the community that make me feel like I am coming back home to myself over and over again, I am so grateful for Liezyl and the entire community, more collabs to come!
