Named for the first garden, where every herb was given for food and for healing. Acupuncture, nutrition composed for your blood, and an apothecary chosen for you alone. Brought to your home. Never rushed. Never ordinary.
A sister house to Living Connects and Holly & Home. Your wellbeing, your family, your home. One standard.
The philosophy
The rarest luxury is time, given unhurried, undivided, and in confidence.
The signature of the house
A singular pairing: licensed acupuncture and blood type nutrition, under one roof. It rests on a single idea: what nourishes you is not what nourishes the person beside you. So every plan we compose begins with your type, and ends with a table that is entirely your own.
Built for protein and a life on the move
Happiest with greens, grains and a slower pace
Born to enjoy a little of everything
The rare one, with the best of A and B
Your blood type plan
If you do not yet know your type, a discreet blood typing card arrives before we meet. From there, your plan is written for you alone, and refined with you, season after season.
Begin with your type Discover the Blood Type Plan →Blood type nutrition is a general wellness approach. It is not medical nutrition therapy and does not diagnose or treat any condition.
The practice
Acupuncture in the calm of your own home, nourishment composed for your blood, and wellbeing held with care over time.
In your home · By arrangement
With Dami Afolabi, L.Ac.
The treatment room comes to you. Fresh linen, a prepared table, the hush of your own home. We begin with conversation, place fine needles with precision, and then leave you to stillness.
Provided under Georgia acupuncture license #612. Visits beyond Georgia are arranged where licensing permits, with travel at the client's expense.
In your home or online
With Dami Afolabi, Holistic Nutrition Specialist
Bespoke guidance on how you eat, shaped to your palate, your table and your calendar. In your home, or in a private virtual consultation.
General wellness coaching, not medical nutrition therapy. It does not diagnose or treat medical conditions; anyone managing a condition such as diabetes or kidney disease should also work with their physician or a licensed dietitian.
Online · Private sessions
Guided by Dami Afolabi
A discreet, ongoing relationship for the whole of you: a few meaningful intentions, the rituals that carry them, and gentle adjustments as your life changes.
Coaching is education and encouragement toward your own goals. It is not medical care and does not replace your physician.
The experience
In your home, or virtually. A conversation, never a form: your life, your history, your hopes.
An unhurried study of how you eat, sleep, move and restore, and of every remedy already on your shelf.
A written plan for you alone. Acupuncture, nourishment and supplements, each named, measured and timed, then delivered to your door.
We return, listen and refine your plan as you change.
Coaching
Where nourishment meets real life: the meals, the sleep, the calendar, the weight of the week.
Individuals
A private year, held for very few. Four seasons of planning, intimate check-ins between them, and a direct line when life shifts.
By application only, as places are few by design.
Families
For everyone under one roof: parents, children, grandparents, and those who cook and care for them.
Coaching for children always happens with a parent or guardian present.
Employers
Wellbeing for those who lead, and those they lead. Shaped with your people team, around how your organization truly works.
Participation is voluntary. Employers receive only group-level summaries, never any individual's information.
The 7-Day Revival
A private week, taken at your own pace: the herbs already in your kitchen, vitamins and minerals made clear, and one small ritual each day worth keeping for life.

Qigong · Movement for every age
An ancient practice of gentle movement, breath and stillness, taught privately in your home or garden, or to a small circle of family and friends. Each session is unhurried and shaped to your body as it is today, seated or standing. It suits an elder who wishes to stay steady and at ease at home, a parent who needs ten quiet minutes, or a whole household moving together in the morning light.
Request a private session Discover qigong →Qigong is offered as gentle movement for general wellbeing. It is not physical therapy, rehabilitation or medical treatment. Please speak with your physician before beginning, especially after a fall, surgery or a change in health.
Chosen for you
A small and exacting collection of practitioner-grade supplements, never sold to strangers. Each is chosen for you after your evaluation and delivered discreetly to your door.

The founder
Licensed Acupuncturist · Holistic Nutrition Specialist
“Wellbeing is built quietly, one considered choice at a time. My work is to make it feel effortless.”
Dami is a Georgia-licensed acupuncturist and a holistic nutrition specialist with a master's degree in acupuncture and an M.S. in Human Nutrition, both from the University of Bridgeport, and nearly two decades in healthcare leadership. Her nutrition work includes personalized blood type diet plans. She founded The Eden Root for people who want their wellbeing looked after with patience, depth and complete discretion.
From the classical map
Every acupuncture point has a name, given long ago, and a purpose honored for centuries. A few you may hear during a session.
The family of houses
Three sister houses, one standard. Together they tend the whole of a family's life: its wellbeing, its loved ones at every age, and the home itself, beautiful, ordered and ready for every chapter. One trusted relationship, in place of a dozen strangers.
Wellbeing
Licensed acupuncture, blood type nutrition, qigong, coaching for individuals, families and organizations, and the apothecary. You are here.
Care at home, every age
Private, non-medical home care across metro Atlanta: companionship and personal care for older adults, support for new mothers, care for children and teens, and respite for the families who love them.
livingconnects.com · Georgia license pendingThe home & aging in place
Residential cleaning, pantry and closet organization, seasonal styling, and home safety readiness so the people you love can stay at home longer, safely.
hollyandhomellc.comHow the houses work together
Living Connects offers her care and companionship. The Eden Root sets her table, teaches her gentle qigong for steadiness, and brings acupuncture when she is ready. Holly & Home prepares the house: everything within reach, everything in order, grab bars arranged through licensed partners. The three houses operate separately, and each is introduced only when you ask.
