We’re rooted here—right in the heart of Farmington.📍

Deeper Roots Wellness is proud to sponsor the beautiful new park at Mason’s Corner, located at the corner of Farmington and Grand River. This space is more than bricks and benches—it’s a symbol of what grows when a community comes together to care, to gather, to thrive.

You’ll find our name among many on the walkway, right beside one of our favorite neighbors, —because healing, connection, and great sandwiches are what make this town special.

We’re honored to be part of the foundation of something that will bring joy for years to come.

1 in 5 mothers.

That’s how many will experience a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder (PMAD).

This isn’t rare.
This isn’t weakness.
This is real.

PMADs can look like:

Silent panic

Rage behind closed doors

Guilt that won’t let go

Sadness that feels endless

It’s not just “the baby blues.” It’s something deeper. And there is help.

At Deeper Roots Wellness, we specialize in walking with you through the darkness — into healing, into yourself, into hope.

💛 Healing is possible.
💛 You are worthy of care.

Mothers hold up the sky.

They are the backbone of society, the lifeblood of our families, the ones holding all the pieces when the world forgets to ask how they’re doing.

And yet—so often, their mental health is overlooked.

Maternal mental health is societal health.
When mothers are supported, generations heal.

This week, we honor the emotional labor, invisible work, and sacred transformation that motherhood brings.

At Deeper Roots Wellness, we hold space for your whole story — not just the highlight reel.

You are not too much.
You are not alone.
You are so needed.

Let us support you. This work is a revolution.

The quiet revolution of conscious parenting…

There’s a quiet kind of courage in the way you pause.
In the breath you take before reacting.
In the way you show up for your child while still healing the parts of you that were never seen, held, or heard.

This is the work of conscious parenting—
Not perfection, but transformation.
Not having it all figured out, but choosing presence anyway.

At Deeper Roots Wellness, we support parents doing the deep, soul-level work of healing while raising their children.
We know how heavy that can feel.
And we also know the power of having the right support around you.

Let us support you.
This work is a revolution.
And you are so needed.

"Maternal mental health is not a side conversation. It is the foundation of thriving families, connected communities, and future generations. And it is not just a mother’s responsibility to hold—it belongs to all of us. When we tend to the wellbeing of mothers, we tend to the roots of everything. So let’s keep asking better questions. Let’s keep offering softer landings. Let’s build a culture where mothers are seen, supported, and sacred."

Today, we celebrate 6 years of Deeper Roots Wellness!!

Six years of sacred work. Six years of deep listening, deep tending, and deep healing.

What started as a vision has become a thriving practice rooted in soul, service, and connection.

This is an ode to that journey.

Deeper Roots Wellness,
you are where healing grows slowly—
but fully.
Where nothing is rushed,
and everything is sacred.

You were born from a whisper,
a knowing that healing could be different—
that we could center the parent and the baby,
support the clinician and the client,
and honor the nervous system and the soul.

Six years later, you are a sanctuary.
A place where therapists bloom.
Where families find healing and break cycles.
Where wellness is felt in every breath,
every choice to stay present,
every moment someone chooses themselves.

Here’s to six years of holding space.
Of choosing depth over speed.
Of walking people home to themselves—
again and again.

To the roots.
To the vision.
To the healing that echoes far beyond what we see.
To every parent, every little one, every clinician, every soul
who has found a piece of themselves here—
This celebration is yours, too.

We are still growing.
Still blooming.
Still becoming.

And the roots?
They only grow deeper from here. 🌿

With So much love and admiration for all the people who make DRW what it is,
Amy 🤍

We all face it:
the pressure to say "yes" to things that, deep down, don't serve us or our families.

It might be volunteering for another committee at school,
agreeing to host a playdate when your house is already a whirlwind,
or even accepting an invitation that clashes with much-needed family time.

We worry about seeming rude, unhelpful, or like we're not "doing enough."

I remember once offering a piece of candy to a friend's son, and the mom, clearly uncomfortable, started rattling off justifications about why she does not want him to have the candy:

"Oh, he might choke, he's had too much sugar already, he's about to have a nap..."

I gently stopped her and said,
"It's okay to just say 'no.' You don't need to explain."

That moment really stuck with me.

The truth is:
every time we say 'yes' to something outside our family, we might be saying 'no' to what matters most within it.

It may be a "no" to quality time,
to rest,
to focusing on your own children's needs,
or even just to preserve your own sanity!

We often over-explain and justify our "no's" because we feel guilty.
We think we need a "valid" reason,
a perfectly crafted excuse.

But the reality is:
it’s not necessary.
Protecting your family's time and energy is a valid reason in itself.

"No, thank you" is a complete sentence.

Learning to say "no" without the guilt is liberating.
It's about prioritizing your family's well-being above external expectations.

It doesn't mean you're never helpful or involved—
but it means you're choosing your commitments consciously.

Start practicing.

Maybe it's declining that extra project at work.
Maybe it's saying "no" to a social engagement that feels draining.
Maybe it’s simply stating:
"That doesn't work for us right now,"
without a lengthy explanation.

The more you do it,
the easier it becomes.
And the more space you create for what truly matters:
your family, and your own well-being.

When mothers are well, others are well. ✨

Motherhood is the foundation of so many lives, yet we often carry the weight of the world without tending to our own wellness. When a mother heals, nurtures, and honors herself, the ripple effect is undeniable—her family, her community, and generations to come feel the impact.

At Deeper Roots Wellness, we believe in the power of supporting mothers, breaking cycles, and prioritizing mental and emotional well-being. You deserve care, too. 💛
