Who We Are
Root & Boost was born from a deeply personal journey of transformation, resilience, and rediscovering food as a source of healing. What started as one woman’s commitment to reclaim her health has grown into a wellness-focused brand dedicated to nourishment that supports real, sustainable living.
Our founder, Monica Moodley, lost over 120kg through conscious lifestyle change and is currently studying to become a certified nutritional coach. She understands first-hand the challenges of changing habits, the power of small daily choices, and the importance of food that supports both body and mind.
At Root & Boost, we believe food should do more than taste good—it should fuel, balance, and uplift. That’s why our collection is crafted with intention, using quality natural ingredients and bold, honest flavour. Everything we make is designed to support wellness without restriction, deprivation, or compromise.
The Heart Behind Root & Boost!
Hi, I’m Monica — founder, wellness advocate, and lifelong student of food as medicine.
Root & Boost is deeply personal to me. My journey into health and conscious nutrition began over a decade ago, when I made the decision to take control of my wellbeing. Losing over 120 kilograms didn’t just change my body—it transformed how I see food, self-care, and long-term health.
I know what it feels like to struggle, to crave comfort, and to search for solutions that actually work in real life. That lived experience is at the core of everything we create at Root & Boost. I’m still learning, still growing, and currently deepening my knowledge through formal nutritional coaching studies—so that what we offer is grounded in both experience and education.
This is not about perfection or trends.
It’s about real nourishment, functional ingredients, and food that supports you where you are—whether that’s through a grounding herbal tea, a revitalising juice, or a wholesome spread that adds flavour and nourishment to your day.
