Your story has the power to heal
We support you on your journey toward health, deeper self-awareness, and the creation of your own healing story.
Our Mission
A 'healing story' lets you see your life from a new angle, find meaning in what you've lived through, and reach the inner resources you need to change. In it, you become the author of your own future.
Our platform brings together psychological knowledge, research, and therapeutic tools to help you trace your roots, understand your emotions, and reconnect with your body.
We draw from modern psychotherapy theories such as somatic approaches, polyvagal theory, and transgenerational trauma therapy, inspired by scholars like Peter Levine, Bessel van der Kolk, Deb Dana, and Mark Wolynn.
The People Behind Fam Roots
We combined psychological expertise with technology to build tools that serve healing.
Monika Wirżajtys
Psychologist · Trauma Psychotherapist · Supervisor SE®
I am an author of therapeutic tales and stories, and co-founder of the fam-roots platform. For many years, I have been working with children, adults and families, accompanying them in the process of healing trauma, both shock and developmental trauma, often recorded in the body.
I specialize in a somatic approach (Somatic Experiencing®, Integral Somatic Psychology), and I am inspired by polyvagal theory, bodywork, art, movement, and storytelling. I believe that our story, even the most painful one, can be transformed into something that gives strength and contact with oneself.
In creating fam-roots, we wanted to provide a space where one can pause with their heritage, find meaning in the past, and create a new narrative: one that is supportive, alive, and true.
Piotr Zalewa
Software Engineer · AI Specialist
I am the co-founder of fam-roots, responsible for the platform's technical foundation. For over twenty years I've built secure, scalable systems that keep user privacy and data protection first.
At fam-roots I use AI carefully, so that sensitive personal stories stay private and well protected. Good software comes from understanding both what the technology can do and what people need.
My job is to connect what the AI can do with the therapeutic work Monika designs, and to build tools that are safe and worth trusting.
