About Ready Set Rooted

Hello! My name is Kara Risser, founder of Ready Set Rooted. I am a Registered Nurse, health coach, and founder of Rooted Nashville, a thriving community group that hosts monthly events for 20s and 30s in middle Tennessee.

I am passionate about health and wellness, connection, and community. Wellness takes many forms—nutrition and movement are vital, but community, relationships, and time for fun are equally essential to health and well-being. Ready Set Rooted (RSR) helps companies, groups, and individuals thrive by blending personal wellness, meaningful connection, and engaging fun.

For companies, we offer corporate wellness classes, lunch and learns, team-building experiences, corporate picnics, and corporate event experiences designed to create healthier, happier, and more connected teams.

We support individuals and groups through wellness classes, community building, and custom event experiences and games for parties, conferences, retreats, and more.

No matter who we serve, our goal is to inspire growth, boost well-being, foster connection, and bring more joy and fun into everyday life..

Mission

Ready Set Rooted creates experiences to help people and organizations nurture wellness, cultivate connection, and create purposeful fun that fosters a lasting impact in work, life, and community.

Why Ready Set Rooted?

Ready Set Rooted transforms ordinary corporate events into extraordinary experiences that nurture wellness, cultivate genuine connection, and create purposeful fun. With a unique blend of health expertise and community-building passion, we deliver personalized, engaging experiences that leave a lasting impact on your team and workplace culture.

Corporate Team Building

Choose Ready Set Rooted for team building that goes beyond generic trust falls and ice breakers. We design dynamic, personalized experiences—indoor or outdoor—that truly bond your team and create a friendlier, healthier work environment. From setup to cleanup, we handle every detail so you can focus on connecting with your team, with options ranging from 2-hour mini sessions to full-day adventures that include meals, snacks, and activities tailored specifically to your company's needs and culture.

Corporate Wellness Classes

Our corporate wellness approach recognizes that true health encompasses more than just nutrition and exercise—it includes community, relationships, and joy. Led by Registered Nurse and health coach Kara Risser, our classes and lunch-and-learns inspire employees to flourish both personally and professionally through engaging, educational content paired with interactive activities and meaningful discussion. Whether you choose single sessions, multi-week series, or extended wellness experiences, we provide practical tools and inspiring insights that foster greater satisfaction, fulfillment, and quality of life for your team.

Corporate Experience Coordinator

When you need expertly crafted activities for your corporate event, party, retreat, or conference but want the flexibility to facilitate yourself or need fully supported execution, Ready Set Rooted delivers. We create personalized, fun, and dynamic game plans that energize your event—available as detailed PDF guides for self-facilitation or with full on-site support where our staff handles setup, facilitation, and cleanup. This unique flexibility means you get professional-grade experiences designed specifically for your group, delivered exactly how you need them.

Corporate Picnics

Ready Set Rooted brings the energy, expertise, and attention to detail that transforms your corporate picnic from obligatory to outstanding—creating an event your employees will actually be excited about while you relax and enjoy the results. We design personalized games and activities, manage all setup and cleanup, and can even coordinate with vendors for venue, food, rentals, and entertainment, taking the entire burden off your plate. Our approach ensures your picnic becomes a memorable experience that strengthens team bonds rather than just another checkbox event.

Customized Packages

The beauty of Ready Set Rooted is our ability to blend services into customized packages that perfectly match your organization's unique needs and goals. Combine our dynamic team-building activities with inspiring wellness classes for well-rounded experiences that help employees thrive both individually and collectively. Whether you need a half-day retreat mixing connection-building games with a wellness workshop, a full-day experience complete with meals and activities, or any creative combination in between, we'll design an experience that delivers exactly what your team needs—complete with setup, facilitation, cleanup, and all the details handled so you can actually participate and enjoy the event you've created for your team.
