Reframing “midlife crisis” into a Second Spring of confidence, clarity, and purposeful reinvention.
About Devon
Devon Vernetti is a thought leader in midlife transformation, known for redefining the “midlife crisis” as a powerful second beginning — a Second Spring.
As the creator of the Root to Rise Method™, Devon teaches a nervous system–first approach to personal reinvention—guiding women through life’s most complex transitions, including identity shifts, loss, caregiving, and career change, with clarity, resilience, and purpose.
A former acupuncturist, Devon integrates the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern personal development, bringing over a decade of clinical training in the body’s nervous system and energetic patterns to her teaching. Her work is also deeply informed by her own lived experience navigating profound personal loss, major life rebuilding, and supporting her daughter through complex emotional challenges—bringing a rare combination of clinical insight, emotional depth, and grounded truth to her teaching.
Through her signature five-phase framework—Root, Rise, Radiate, Recenter, Release—Devon offers a structured yet intuitive path for women to regulate their nervous systems, shed outdated identities, and step into a more aligned and energized version of themselves.
She is the host of the Midlife Rewritten podcast and leads transformative experiences including seasonal resets, immersive programs, and community-based growth spaces designed to support lasting change.
Devon’s work centers on a simple but powerful idea: reinvention isn’t about becoming someone new—it’s about returning to who you’ve always been, with the capacity to fully live it.
