Mackinaw City's Wellness Center.
Connect. Transform. Heal.
Reset Your Abundance. Change Your Life.
Hey, I’m Tae — the owner of Strait to the Roots.
Over the years, I’ve heard so many people say, “I wish I could do this.” What most don’t see is that this business was built by a single mom who was once stuck, overwhelmed, and deep in survival mode. I remember the first year the café opened, holding my daughter on my hip while she cried...with a line out the door. Yikes.
After burning out completely, I knew something had to change. I started regulating my nervous system and choosing alignment over hustle.
This reset is what helped me shift, become more aligned, and create more in my life.
So much of what we’re taught about abundance skips over what actually matters—how we feel in our body, how safe we feel to receive, and how we show up each day.
This brings it back to that.
These are the practices, mindset shifts, and small daily changes that helped me move out of survival mode into something more grounded, steady, and abundant.
If you’ve been craving a shift, this is a gentle place to start.

we heal the world."
