Meet Bailee

Bailee Buckendorf is a writer, resilience‑worker, trail runner, and mother based in the Richland, Washington area. She founded Rebuilding Roots and Earth Diaries, projects focused on emotional emergence, soul integration, life transitions, and Earth‑rooted support for people navigating grief and major life rebuilding.

Bailee’s work is rooted in polarity, the Life–Death–Life cycle, and the quiet intelligence of the subtle body. She walks with people through identity transitions, not to fix what’s breaking down, but to help them listen to it, rectify what no longer fits, and integrate what’s being born. Resilience, in her world, is not “staying strong,” but learning to move with life’s iterations instead of fighting them.

Her path has been forged in real time: entrepreneurship, solo motherhood, ultra running, years of yogic and somatic practice, and the long unwinding of C‑PTSD after a life‑altering loss in 2018. She understands firsthand what it means to rebuild a life from the inside out.

Her approach blends strength, emotional intelligence, instinct, grit, and grounded spiritual insight—offering others an access point to clarity, steadiness, and the radical permission to become who they actually are.

Bailee’s work now weaves together yogic wisdom, subtle‑body intelligence, eco‑psychology, ultra running, creative‑psyche work, resilience practices, and a devotion to helping people navigate the liminal spaces of transformation. She offers it through a lens of whole‑body integration, challenging the narratives of urgency, perfection, and self‑abandonment that keep so many stuck. Instead of a performance of healing, she points toward a way of living that is rhythmic, instinctive, and deeply human—a way back to oneself.
