You feel the pull.

A quiet knowing that there’s more to your story.

That your roots go deeper than you realize.

That your ancestors are closer than you’ve ever known.

But where do you begin?

  • Maybe your family tree feels like a mess of missing branches.
  • Maybe you were never told the stories.
  • Maybe there’s pain in your lineage—abandonment, loss, silence.

And still...

You feel them.
Calling you back.
Inviting you forward.

A guided path to discover your ancestors, their stories, and your power.

"Meet Your Ancestral Guide" — Reflection Journal PDF

This is more than research.

It's remembrance.
It's connection.
It's becoming the next strong link in a chain that has always held you.

You want to feel more connection to your lineage. That connection comes from knowing who your ancestors are. And - that comes from research. From finding the records, stories, and details they left behind.

Through these two online courses, you can learn how to research like a genealogist so that you can find these records and build a relationship with your ancestors. You can feel their wisdom, understand their patterns, and begin feeling the power from your lineage. 



Hi, I'm Megan Hillyer-Holistic Genealogist

For the past 5 years, I’ve helped many people uncover the stories of their ancestors—not just to build a family tree, but to find themselves within it.

I believe that anyone—yes, even you—can gain power, peace, and clarity from discovering and integrating the stories of those who came before. As a professional genealogist with a degree in Family History Research, I’ve seen time and again how ancestral knowledge can heal old patterns, awaken inner strength, and restore a deep sense of belonging.

When I began studying genealogy, I quickly realized this wasn’t just about records or dates—it was about transformation. Learning about my own ancestors gave me resilience I didn’t know I needed. And now, I’m here to help you experience the same.

Whether you’re just starting out or have already built parts of your tree, Rooted + Rising will show you how your lineage holds more than history—it holds guidance.

Let’s uncover it together.
