Root Rise Grow
Helping rural communities turn good ideas into work that can actually happen.
​
I’m Jess Travis, founder of Root Rise Grow LLC, a small consulting business based in Pratt County, Kansas. I help organizations and community groups clarify priorities, bring people together, and develop practical plans they can carry forward.
​
My background spans biology, public service, community education, partnership development, and project coordination. My work has included developing wellness training, facilitating community conversations, designing programs, and supporting grant development and implementation.
​
Today, I bring that experience to selected consulting projects alongside my massage and yoga practice, Balance Bodywork Co., and our farm, South Fork Farm. I also help organize the Pratt County Food Resource Coalition as part of my community service.
I’m available for clearly scoped projects in facilitation, program planning, training development, and grant readiness or management. If your organization has a good idea but needs help defining the next steps, let’s talk.
