Hi! I’m Madi.
I’m a social worker, writer, and co-owner of a shop and community space in Chicago called Roots & Ritual.
My work is rooted in a deep love and fascination for the human experience, an appreciation for the interconnectedness of all living things, and a belief that growth and healing are at the heart of meaningful change. I help people reconnect with what matters, break cycles that no longer serve them, and build lives they feel at home in.
With two degrees in social work and over a decade of experience working in non-profits, I’ve cultivated a variety of skills that allow me to support people at various stages of their lives. My work is grounded in my values of community, joy, creativity, growth, compassion, and authenticity, which guide everything I do.
I approach my work through the lens of trauma-informed care and healing-centered practices, meaning I meet people where they are, offer guidance that is both grounded and compassionate, and honor each person’s unique path.
As a witch and devotee of Persephone, I am drawn to the balance of duality — the descent and the return, light and shadow, life and death — embracing all as necessary forces in transformation. My magic is rooted in the liminal spaces where change takes shape and the silence where intuition is given space to come through clearly. I believe in the everyday magic woven into the mundane, the kind that reveals itself in quiet moments of reflection and in the rituals that bring us back to ourselves. Through coaching and writing, I create spaces for those who feel deeply and believe that a better world is possible. After our time together, my hope is that you’ll leave feeling seen, valued, and equipped with resources to support your journey forward.
Whether you’re looking for one-on-one support or a community to grow alongside, I’m here to walk with you on your path through the underworld and back.
