The Beginnings
Enroot was cultivated in 2016 and re-emerged in 2020 as Enroot Wellness™.
The Mission
Enroot Wellness™ is dedicated to listening to what your body is saying, and helping provide the means to restore vitality. A functional medicine, evidence-based, and personalized approach to health and well-being, for people and pets.
The Details
Caring for complex, chronic conditions involves courage and discovery. At Enroot Wellness, discovery involves a functional nutrition format, using the patient’s story as a key tool for integrating the evidence of clinical imbalances with chronic conditions, history of onset, and current pain points. We offer a thorough review of your bloodwork and other biomarkers to identify nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, food sensitivities, and more. With inflammation at the core of every single disease, discomfort, and dysfunction, root cause resolution is about addressing the core of the inflammation and every individual as unique.
The Founder
Cami Smalley worked as a certified Veterinary Technician back in the late 90s in Veterinary clinics before earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and Animal Behavior from Colorado State University. She then embarked on a year in Hawai’i doing an internship in Marine Mammal Behavior, studying dolphins through the University of Hawai’i. During 10+ years in the Pet Food Industry, she worked as a National Sales Director and Director of Education, traveling throughout the US and Canada. During this time Cami developed a comprehensive nutrition education curriculum, for employees + partners, for both The Honest Kitchen in San Diego, and a 17-location pet store chain in the northeast. She has been studying nutrition (Price Pottenger Nutrition Foundation) and herbs for the past 25 years. Culminating in grad school to further her studies in nutrition, Cami completed a Master of Science program with a Functional Medicine-based curriculum. She founded Enroot Wellness™ in 2019, with offices in Portland and Scarborough, Maine, working as primary functional nutritionist at Oasis Wellness Partners, and then Pine, Colorado in 2024.
Enroot Wellness™ sees clients virtually via Zoom, Google hangout, and old school (telephone calls), as well as sees clients in person at two office locations.

Continuing Education
Cami Smalley-Risano, founder of Enroot Wellness, has been studying Internal Family Systems since January 2020, completing a 6-month course for utilization of this therapy within my practice. Having direct experience with this method in her own personal growth, she found it to be powerfully transformative and in line with FM as an evidence-based model of psychotherapy. The IFS model postulates that the mind is naturally multiple and that is a good thing. A person is not just one personality. Put another way, each individual is a multiplicity of parts (as in “part of me wants to work out today, and part of me does not,” or it could be thought of as in there are many sides to us). The inner parts contain valuable qualities and the core Self knows how to heal, allowing the individual to become integrated and whole. To better preface this modality of understanding the many sides and parts inside each of us, we recommend you watch the Disney movie Inside Out. This is great for the young and the elder, children and adults alike, as it is a beautifully depiction of the internal family system inside each of us; the angry side, the introverted part, the outgoing one, the gleeful part…and so on.
In IFS all parts are welcome. One of the tenets of Functional Medicine (FM) is the recognition of a weblike interconnectedness between mind, body, and spirit – and therefore the emphasis on mental, emotional, and spiritual health as a precursor to, and influencer of, physical health and healing. It is through this lens that IFS applied during functional wellness sessions can help influence overall healing, in quick and dramatic ways. IFS + FM together can provide profound and poetic healing.
