Here’s the thing…EMDR awesome.

You might be saying: Wait… you mean I don’t have to relive it to heal it?
I don’t have to “just move on”?
And I’m not weak for still being affected months (or years) later?

EMDR helps your brain finally file the memory away as past- not something your body keeps reacting to like it’s happening right now.
No endless retelling.
No forcing positivity.
No minimizing what you went through.

Your birth experience mattered.
Your nervous system remembers it- and it deserves relief.

This is your reminder:
✨ You’re not behind
✨ You’re not broken
✨ And healing doesn’t mean forgetting- it means freedom

You get to feel safe in your body again.
You get to breathe again.
You get to move forward without carrying the weight of that day.

And yes - healing after birth trauma is possible.

Hey mama, during a time that’s all about giving… I want to also encourage you to pause and take what you need this Christmas season - (motherhood edition 🎄🤍)

Take the permission to slow down, even when the world is rushing.
Take the grace to let things be imperfect- the gifts, the meals, the moments.
Take the rest your body has been quietly asking for.
Take the boundary that protects your peace, even if it disappoints someone else.
Take the help when it’s offered (and ask when it’s not).
Take the deep breath before responding - to your kids, your partner, yourself.
Take the reminder that your worth is not measured by magic created, traditions upheld, or smiles captured in photos.

And if today all you can take is survival, that counts too.

Your children won’t remember a perfect Christmas.
They’ll remember you - your presence, your safety, your love.

Take what you need.
Leave the rest.
You are already enough.

You’ve got this mama!

Hey mama… I have an invitation for you this Christmas.

This Christmas season, check in with your nervous system- not just your to-do list.

Before moving into the next task, pause for 60 seconds.
Unclench your jaw. Drop your shoulders. Take one slow breath in through your nose and a longer breath out through your mouth.

Regulating your body creates more presence than pushing through ever will.

You don’t need to do more to feel grounded this Christmas- you need moments of safety and pause.

Small resets count.

You’ve got this mama!

Yesterday my oldest kiddo, my sweet daughter, turned 6. As a mom… and also a therapist who works with moms I wanted to give myself the space to really process another year gone by.

To my sweet daughter- as you turn 6 this is what I want you know…you have changed me in every way!

I don’t think I’ll ever stop being amazed at how one moment -the moment you came into my life- changed absolutely everything. Yesterday you turned six, and I felt that familiar mix of joy, nostalgia, and the kind of love that sits so deep in my chest it almost hurts.

You are growing so quickly, and every year I find myself holding on just a little tighter… not because I want to keep you small, but because I want to soak in every version of you before it becomes a memory.

This year, I’ve watched you become braver.
Kinder.
More curious.
More you.
Your heart is soft and strong all at once- a combination I hope you never lose. You feel big, you love big, and you notice things most people walk right past. That is a rare and beautiful gift.

If I’m honest, sometimes I look at you and wonder how I got so lucky.
How I get to be the one who hears your little laugh from the other room.
How I get to be the one you run to when you’re excited, or hurting, or unsure.
How I get a front-row seat to your whole life unfolding.

There are moments I wish I could freeze- the way your hand still fits in mine, the way you lean into me when you’re tired, the way you whisper “I love you, Mommy” like it’s the easiest truth in the world. Those moments undo me in the best way.

I hope you always know this:
You are wanted.
You are treasured.
You are endlessly loved- not for what you do, but simply for who you are.

I love being your mom.
It is the greatest honor of my life.

Happy 6th Birthday, my beautiful girl.
I love you more than words will ever fully hold. 💖✨

Sincerely,
Your loving mother

“I wish people talked about this more…”
She said it softly, half-laughing, half-exhausted… and deeply honest.
And if you’re a new mom, you might know exactly what she meant.

Maybe she meant:
• I wish people talked about how lonely postpartum can feel, even when you’re never physically alone.
• I wish people talked about how your identity shifts- not just your schedule.
• I wish people talked about the rage, the tears that come out of nowhere, and the way hormones can make everything feel bigger.
• I wish people talked about how confusing it is to love your baby deeply and still grieve who you were before.
• I wish people talked about how your body feels foreign… and how long healing can actually take.
• I wish people talked about how much support new moms really need- and how hard it is to ask for it.
• I wish people talked about how postpartum isn’t just the first six weeks. It’s a whole season of your life.

At Rooted Healing Therapy, these are the conversations we have every day- openly, gently, without judgment.
Because you deserve spaces where the truth of postpartum is welcomed, not hidden.
And if you’ve ever whispered, “I wish people talked about this more…”
You’re not alone.
We’re already talking about it here.

Hey mama - Have you ever thought how can i be present for Christmas this year…rather than just “get through” it?

For so many of us, the holidays come with mixed emotions. There’s joy, yes… but there’s also pressure, expectations, old patterns, overstimulation, family dynamics, grief, and exhaustion. It’s easy to slip into survival mode and suddenly realize the season passed in a blur.

This year, what if presence- not perfection- was the goal?

Presence looks like slowing down long enough to feel your feet on the floor. Taking one real breath before reacting. Choosing connection over performing. Letting yourself experience moments instead of rushing to create them. It’s giving yourself permission to say no, to simplify, to rest, and to make room for the things that genuinely matter to you and your family.

If you want this season to feel different, here’s a simple starting point:
Choose one grounding ritual that brings you back to yourself.
Maybe it’s a quiet morning coffee before the house wakes up, an evening walk to look at lights, or a few minutes at night to journal what you’re grateful for. Tiny rituals create space. Space invites presence. Presence creates memories.

You don’t have to perform Christmas. You’re allowed to experience it- fully, gently, and at your own pace.

What’s one way you want to be more present this year?

12/04/2025

Hey mama,

Some days feel heavier than others. Stress piles up, emotions run high, and even the strongest of us can feel stretched thin. If today felt like a lot, you’re not alone.

But as the day winds down, we get to choose how we close it.
Tonight, I’m choosing gratitude- not because everything was perfect, but because gratitude helps soften the edges of a hard day.

Maybe it’s one small moment:
• A deep breath
• A quiet car ride
• A hug from your little one
• A warm cup of tea
• A reminder that you made it through

When stress gets the best of us, gratitude gently brings us back to ourselves. It doesn’t erase the hard, but it helps us carry it with a little more ease.

If today was overwhelming, I’m holding space for you.
If today was beautiful, I’m celebrating with you.
And if today was somewhere in between- welcome to being human.

Take a moment tonight to name one thing you’re grateful for. Even the tiniest thing counts.

You’re doing better than you think.

It’s Tuesday tip time! It’s been a couple of Tuesdays since I’ve done one of these… because life has been a bit wild. But here we are!

This week Let’s Talk About Expectations This December

December comes with so many invisible “shoulds”:
• I should be more festive
• I should do more traditions
• I should feel happier
• I should say yes to everything

This week’s tip:
👉 Lower the bar to something that’s actually human-sized.

Instead of: “I have to make every moment magical,”
try: “I will choose one small, meaningful thing today- everything else is optional.”

A few gentle swaps:
• “I have to see everyone” ➝ “I will see who I realistically can.”
• “My house has to be perfect” ➝ “My home just needs to feel safe and ‘good enough.’”
• “I should feel grateful all the time” ➝ “I can feel grateful and overwhelmed. Both can be true.”

You’re not failing if this season feels heavy or complicated.
You’re allowed to manage expectations, protect your energy, and build a version of December that works for your nervous system and your family.

If you need support navigating the pressure of this season, you don’t have to do it alone. .co is here for you!

We are in December mama! A month full of so much joy, wonder, excitement, stress, overwhelm, and chaos.

I personally love December and Christmas 🎄- and I also know the toll it can take if I do not manage my expectations and give myself time to rest.

So today’s post is for you as we start this new month!

As we move into December, instead of asking, “How can I do more?” try asking,
“What’s one small way I can be a little kinder to myself today?”

Maybe it’s:
• Saying no to one extra thing
• Going to bed 15 minutes earlier
• Taking 3 deep breaths before you grab your phone
• Letting the dishes sit so you can sit, too

You don’t have to earn rest. You don’t have to earn softness.
You’re allowed to move into this week- and this month- at a pace that honors your nervous system, not just your to-do list. 🎄 ❄️

If this resonates, you’re not alone. You’re welcome here, exactly as you are.

🍂 Happy Thanksgiving from Rooted Healing Therapy 🍂 Today, I’m holding space for gratitude- both the simple, quiet moments and the ones that feel a little harder to reach.

Holidays can be beautiful, AND they can also be overwhelming. They can bring joy, connection, grief, exhaustion, or all of it at once. However this day meets you, I want you to know: you’re not alone!

As a community of moms and families doing the best we can, I’m grateful for the way we show up for each other- imperfectly, honestly, and with so much heart. I’m grateful for the strength it takes to rest. I’m grateful for the courage it takes to ask for support. And I’m grateful for the moments of presence that remind us what truly matters.

Today, I hope you can find one small breath… one warm moment… one thing that brings you back to yourself.

Thank you for letting Rooted Healing be part of your story.

Wishing you a gentle, grounded, and grateful Thanksgiving. 🧡

Motherhood in this season feels like holding everything at once- gratitude, exhaustion, joy, overwhelm, and the constant hope that we’re “doing enough.” As we move into Thanksgiving, I keep coming back to this truth: presence matters more than perfection.

Our homes might be loud, schedules might be flipped upside down, and someone might always need a snack- and these are the moments we’re going to remember. Not the perfect table setting. Not the flawless plan. The presence.

If you need one easy way to take care of yourself this week, here it is:

✨ One Simple Tip: Give yourself 60 seconds of stillness each morning before doing anything for anyone else.

Just one minute.
One deep breath.
One moment that belongs fully to you.

Let it set the tone for your day, remind you that you’re a human before you’re a helper, and anchor you back to yourself before the world starts pulling.

Tomorrow, may you find pockets of slow. May you show yourself the same kindness you show your family. And may you feel proud of the mother you are- not because everything went perfectly, but because you showed up with heart.

You’re doing so, so well. 🤍🦃✨

Hey mama, you ever have those weeks when life ….life’s. Me too!

I’ve been off social media over the week- Between sick kids, holiday travel, and trying to keep everyone fed, rested, & loved, social media naturally took a back seat. And honestly- it felt right.

There’s something grounding about stepping away from the noise when life feels full (in every sense of the word). We had coughs, fevers, long nights, early mornings, and so many snuggles. And even though we’re still in the thick of it, the family time is present in a really beautiful way - especially with Thanksgiving tomorrow.

This week reminded me that it’s okay to pause.
It’s okay to go quiet.
It’s okay to choose your people over your phone.

I’m grateful for the reset, grateful the kids are on the mend, and grateful for the messy, beautiful season we’re in. (Even though that might not feel true all the time)

Back to sharing, connecting, and showing up. As mamas it’s ok to give ourselves what we need to!

As we head into Thanksgiving, I’m choosing presence over perfection, gratitude over chaos, and connection over everything else.
