Meet Your Coach

Hi, I’m Antonette Semklo. For more than a decade, I’ve worked in fitness and wellness, helping women become stronger, healthier, and more confident in their bodies. My experience as a personal trainer and gym owner taught me that lasting wellness requires more than a workout plan or a nutrition prescription.

After becoming a wife and mother—and walking through health challenges within my own family—deepened my understanding of what true wellness really means.

For years, I believed being healthy meant doing more, pushing harder, and having more discipline. Over time, I learned that caring for your body requires something different: nourishment, balance, and a willingness to listen to what it needs.That shift became a personal search for deeper answers and, ultimately, a calling. It led me into holistic nutrition and wellness and to the creation of The Rooted Method.

Today, I help women build sustainable habits around nutrition, movement, and everyday wellness—so they can eat well, feel well, and live well, with intention, grace, and purpose.

I’m so glad you’re here. I’d love to hear your story.
