Meet the Coach Behind Rested & Rooted.

Helping busy women recover from burnout, create healthier boundaries, and build lives rooted in balance, purpose, and well-being.

LaParis Grimes, MSW, LSW | Certified Life Coach and Founder of Rested & Rooted Life Coaching

Throughout my career helping people navigate life's challenges, I noticed a common pattern. Many capable, compassionate people were constantly pouring into everyone else while neglecting their own well-being. They weren't lazy or unmotivated—they were exhausted.

I created Rested & Rooted Life Coaching to provide practical support for people who are ready to move beyond survival mode and begin building a healthier, more balanced life.

At Rested & Rooted, I believe...

🌿 Rest is productive.

🌿 Boundaries are an act of self-respect.

🌿 You don't have to earn rest.

🌿 Growth should be sustainable.

🌿 Small changes lead to meaningful transformation.

🌿 Your life should align with your values—not constant pressure.

Through personalized coaching, practical tools, guided workbooks, and mini courses, you'll learn to understand your stress response better, clarify your goals, establish healthy boundaries, and create sustainable routines that fit your life—not someone else's.

This is a collaborative, forward-focused process that blends evidence-informed education with practical strategies centered on growth, action, and lasting change.

Professional Background

I'm a Certified Life Coach, Master of Social Work (MSW), and Licensed Social Worker (LSW) with a passion for helping people create healthier, more balanced, and more fulfilling lives.

Throughout my career, I've supported individuals navigating stress, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, and personal growth. My experience has shown me that lasting change doesn't come from striving for perfection—it comes from making intentional, sustainable changes that align with your values and the life you want to create.

As both a certified coach and a social worker, I bring a unique perspective to my coaching. My approach combines compassionate support with practical, evidence-informed strategies that empower you to move from feeling overwhelmed and stuck to feeling confident, balanced, and rooted in your purpose. Every coaching relationship is personalized because no two journeys are the same.

Important Note: While my education and professional experience inform my coaching approach, Rested & Rooted Life Coaching provides life coaching services, not psychotherapy or mental health treatment. Coaching is designed to support personal growth, goal achievement, and positive lifestyle changes and is not a substitute for therapy, counseling, or other mental health services.
