About Us
​
Beyond Roots, PLLC was created with one purpose: to offer children and families pediatric care that is personal, culturally grounded, and deeply connected. We believe every child deserves a strong foundation — one built on trust, safety, and meaningful relationships — so they can grow, thrive, and bloom into their fullest selves.
Our practice is rooted in the belief that pediatric care should meet families where they are, honor who they are, and support who their children are becoming. We are here to nurture each child’s roots, strengthen their foundation, and walk alongside them as they flourish in our community.

Hello little roots, and the hands that garden them!
Â
I’m Vanessa Perry, MSN, APRN, CPNP.... a mom, pediatric nurse practitioner, and the founder of Beyond Roots. With more than 15 years of nursing experience, I’m honored to support your family through every stage of your child’s growth. Born and raised in Rochester, New York, I relocated to Charlotte in 2024, bringing with me the values, cultural grounding, and community‑centered spirit that shaped my life and my approach to care.
​
My clinical background spans adult critical care, the NICU, community health, and foster care, experiences that reinforced a core truth: children thrive when their care is unrushed, relationship‑centered, and grounded in compassion.
​
I am also the mother of an extraordinary 11‑year‑old son who is my world. Navigating life on the Autism Spectrum with him has profoundly shaped who I am as both a mother and a provider. Trust, safety, advocacy, and partnership are not abstract concepts to me but they are lived experiences. I understand what it means to be on both sides of the healthcare journey, and that dual perspective strengthens my empathy, my clarity, and my commitment to showing up for families with intention and respect. With me by your families side, we can do this together.
​
Beyond Roots, PLLC is named in honor of my late father, BRP, whose love and guidance provided the foundation for who I am today. His legacy is woven into this practice and into my belief that children grow best in environments that honor their identity, their culture, and their family’s story.
When we create a safe, warm, culturally respectful environment, children develop strong roots; and from those roots, they bloom.
