Meet Rodrigo Gaete, Founder of Grooni Earthing
I’ve always believed the most powerful solutions are the simple ones we’ve forgotten. For me, that was the feeling of the ground beneath my feet. I'm Rodrigo Gaete, and I founded Grooni Earthing to share that profound, natural connection with the world.
My Journey Back to the Ground
For years, I ran a company in the high-pressure world of live events. On the surface, it was all energy and excitement, but behind the scenes, I was running on empty. I felt completely drained and disconnected from myself. When the world came to a halt in 2020, so did my career.
In that forced quiet, I went back to something I’d done my whole life, much to the confusion of my friends and family: I took off my shoes. I’ve always been that guy—the one who’s barefoot at a dinner party. But in that moment, I realized it wasn't just a quirk. It was my lifeline. That simple act of feeling the earth was the only thing that made me feel centered and whole again.
A Simple, Profound Belief
I believe that we are not separate from nature; we are a part of it. The constant hum of the Earth's energy is something we’ve forgotten how to listen to. For me, grounding is more than a wellness practice—it's an act of remembering. It’s a return to our natural state of balance.
The science is fascinating, and our Head of Research, Sienna, does an incredible job of exploring that. But for me, it always comes back to the simple, profound feeling of coming home to yourself.
My Vision for Grooni Earthing
My role today is to ensure that everything we do at Grooni stays true to that original feeling. I wanted to create products that weren't complicated or intimidating, but were simple, effective tools to help you find that same connection. My vision is for Grooni to be more than just a brand; I want it to be a resource and a guide for anyone looking to step away from the noise and tune back into their own wellbeing.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
Stay grounded,
Rodrigo Gaete Founder, Grooni Earthing
