Bonjour !
Founder of We root to rise LLC — weaving embodied presence, healing arts, and body literacy into every coaching conversation.
Meet Anne-Caroline
Bonjour ! My name is Anne-Caroline Floch-Ngy, I founded We root to rise LLC after 5 + years honing and refining my coaching skills, studying and cultivating various healing arts, reclaiming body literacy after decades of conditioning.
My Je-Ne-Sais Quoi
My je-ne-sais quoi ? I bring the soma into the conversation. Soma ? It's a term from ancient greek meaning body. I partner with all of you, as human living organism in its wholeness. Your sensations, emotions, relational stances, internal narratives are welcome into the space I am co-holding with you.
My Practice
I dedicate most of my practice to women, we weave together the roots of embodied presence so we can rise, standing in our dignity and contributing to forge a culture where cyclical and seasonal living is met with understanding and reverence.
Coaching Journey
Coaching hours
Credential holder
Of women supported
Rooted, sustainable change
With 2900 coaching hours, holding an ICF PCC credential, I have now supported hundreds of women navigating the thresholds of the fertility maze, the post-partum, the post-partum/back-to-work, the perimenopause, the late diagnosis of ADHD.
I am not offering quick fixes, hacks, miracle pill, pep talk and other “poudre de Perlimpimpin” (elegant way to say b.s in French ;)
Becoming a mom has been instrumental in my moving forward with the path of becoming a coach. I experienced firstphpn-hand what Classical Chinese Medicine is saying about parenthood : it stretches you to become more fully who you are.
I have done a lot of reclaiming for myself since then, committing to unlearn the “good girl” act to step into emotional maturity.
I have at heart the sustainability of the actions we co-design, you the thinker, me the thinking partner, lots of you are telling me that you rediscovered the meaning of self-care throughout our journey together and it is a honor as I started out as the self-care fairy !
My coaching style blends groundedness, playfulness, lightheartedness and inspiration to loosen the grip of conditioning with a zest of irreverence.
For Coaches
I am thrilled to emerge as a Mentor Coach and a Coach Supervisor aligned with ICF as ongoing learning and development are at the heart of my coaching career as well as my previous one as a French teacher.
It flows for me to support both practitioners in the doing and being the coach : I am experienced at sharing competency-based feedback and at curating reflective spaces.
I bring the trauma-informed and somatic lenses into my offerings, holding a space where your unique coaching style and your multiple dimensions are acknowledged and deeply nurtured.
Five Pieces Of Me
Number 5 is my favorite so I will share 5 pieces of me that I bring into my work :
It nurtures my soul. A poem, a sentence in a novel, a painting, a cover of an album, and this is to date my favorite movie.
Having a son is an everyday joy and wonder. I bring as well being a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a cousin, a godmother, a friend and a wife.
This is a potent medicine to cultivate grounding self-expression. Being in a gospel choir while living in Paris is a fond memory of mine.
I have been fascinated by crystals since childhood. I know how to massage the face with gua-sha, jade roller, spoons.
I have a soft spot for long-hair chihuahua. You see me holding Polka. In case you're wondering yes I enjoyed watching Legally Blonde back in the day and couldn't believe it when they came up with Elle!
