About Root & Current
Hi, I’m Janny.
I’m the founder of Root & Current Consulting. My work brings together coaching, counselling, consultation and professional development to support individuals and professionals navigating growth, relationships, identity, transitions and meaningful change.
My approach is relational, integrative and grounded in curiosity about the whole person—their experiences, relationships, environments, strengths and goals. Rather than focusing only on a problem or symptom, I’m interested in understanding the patterns, relationships and contexts that have shaped where someone is today, while also helping them develop new ways of moving forward.
I bring over 10 years of experience in education and over seven years of experience as a therapist. Throughout my counselling work, I have supported BIPOC professionals navigating workplace dynamics, career development, identity, relationships and the complexities of succeeding within organizational environments. I have also worked with children, adults, couples and families, drawing from relational, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural, somatic and play-based approaches. My background in education continues to shape how I think about learning, development and change.
That philosophy is reflected in the name Root & Current.
Root represents the foundations that shape us—our histories, identities, relationships, cultures, experiences and strengths.
Current represents movement—the capacity to adapt, grow and respond to changing circumstances while remaining connected to what grounds us.
Together, Root & Current reflects the heart of my work: understanding what has shaped us while creating greater awareness, choice and possibility for what comes next.
Why Root & Current?
The symbols behind Root & Current reflect how we understand growth, healing, and transformation: not as a straight path, but as a process of becoming more rooted, flexible, connected, and able to navigate complexity
Bamboo
Flexible. Resilient. Ever-growing.
Bamboo bends without breaking. It represents adaptability, resilience, and the capacity to continue growing through changing seasons.
Roots
The unseen foundation.
Roots grow deep before growth becomes visible above the surface. They represent grounding, connection, stability, and the deeper work that supports lasting change.
Current
Always moving.
A current responds to the landscape around it while continuing forward. It represents movement, connection, adaptability, and the possibility of finding new ways through.
Platypus
Uniquely adaptable.
The platypus doesn't fit neatly into a single category — and that's part of what makes it remarkable. It represents curiosity, individuality, adaptability, and the ability to navigate complexity without needing to fit into a predetermined mold.
Together, they represent our belief:
Transformation emerges when we are rooted in what matters and able to move with the current of what is possible.
