Summer Solstice☀️

Today we cross a threshold—the longest stretch of daylight, the peak of the sun’s golden arc.
The word solstice comes from Latin: sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still).

For a moment, the sun pauses in its path. And we are invited to do the same.

And still—the world feels heavy.
There is violence. Assassinations. Deep injustice. So much grief we do not always know where to place.

The earth is calling. Our bodies are listening. Our hearts are trying to keep up.

At Mothering Roots, we hold space for both:

The fullness of light and the shadows it reveals.
This is a time of warmth, yes—but also reckoning.

•A time to ask:
Where am I overgrown?
Where do I need to rest, not bloom?
What in me is asking to be held, not hurried?

We believe healing doesn’t mean turning away from what’s hard.

It means meeting it slowly. Softly. In community.
Rooted in breath, body, and belonging.

A Simple Solstice Ritual for a Heavy Time:

You’ll need:
🌿 A window or patch of sunlight
🕯️ A candle or quiet corner
🌬️ A breath you can follow inward

1. Pause.

Let the light land on your skin or imagine it warming your chest.

Place one hand on your heart, the other on your belly.

2. Say (out loud or within):

“Even in the brightness, I honor what is heavy.
I let the sun touch what I’ve hidden.
I root down into what is real.”

3. Breathe. Rest. Return when you’re ready.

May this solstice hold you in your fullness—your fire, your ache, your becoming.
You are not alone.

With tenderness,
Mothering Roots Therapy & Wellness

“And this is the work.
This is the reclamation.
This is the revolution your bones have been begging for.”

I will add — this is done in cycles, rhythms, seasons. There is no linear path. There is tons of forgetting and remembering and trying again. There is so much experimenting and never one right way.

And, let me say — as I sit in spaces with others doing this exact movement — I too do it daily. And, some days, seasons, years aren’t that pretty.

Community is so so important. 🌲

Posted by • Listen… when you’re finally done giving so much damn credit to that ‘overthinking’… acting like it’s some flaw you need to fix…

And you realize it’s been your higher self this whole time trying to get your attention… come find me 😜

Because that’s when we flip the switch.
That’s when we take all those racing thoughts, all those what-ifs, and those buried dreams you’ve been pretending you’re too busy for… and we turn them into the most alive, magnetic, unapologetic life you’ve ever known 🔥

How Breathwork & Reiki Hold Me

My journey with breathwork and Reiki through Embodied Breathwork Collective & Kim LoveJoy

In the tender landscape of postpartum & motherhood, breathwork found me.

I arrived raw—tense, gripping, trapped in emotional reactivity. My mind raced, my body clenched, my nervous system on high alert. The weight of birth trauma and the enormity of new motherhood pulsed through me with no clear release.

But in the sacred container of community, I was given permission—
to move.
to make noise.
to wail and scream.
to tantrum and laugh out loud.
to wiggle and roam.
To be with all of it, exactly as I was.

This practice became my homecoming.

Each breathwork and Reiki session offered me a portal—not to escape—but to meet myself, fully and honestly. To be witnessed, held, and unraveled. To allow my body to lead instead of resisting it. To shift from replaying my trauma to becoming a witness to it—with compassion and space.

I learned to trust where my breath takes me.
To feel the moment I soften.
To reclaim joy in my body.
To find stillness after the storm.

I would leave these evenings lighter—sometimes emptied, sometimes full. But always more me: playful, clear, connected to my needs, and no longer bracing against life.

This work rewired something in me. It gave me not just tools, but a sacred rhythm. And in many ways, it brought me back to life.

And now, I have the deep honor of co-hosting this offering at The Grief Room—not just as a participant, but as a reiki master and space tender, holding others as they find their way home to themselves.

It’s not just breathwork.
It’s a whole, care-filled, healing experience.
A place to be deeply witnessed, held, and returned to your body and truth.

If you feel the call to breathe with intention, to meet yourself anew in the safety of sacred space, I invite you to experience this work. over at 🌈

Please share with others! Space is limited to cultivate small spaces with deep hearts & safety.

This feels wildly important to name as many sessions have been filled with story sharing about being labeled as “unwell.” 😮‍💨

Posted by• Your emotions are not just yours.
They are echoes of the women who came before you.
Uncried tears. Unspoken rage. Unfinished grief.

To feel deeply is not a flaw.
It is an ancient assignment.

Because as women, we don’t just feel for ourselves…
We alchemize for the lineage.
We burn through centuries of silence with every sacred rage.
We purify the bloodline with every tear that’s finally allowed to fall.

This is the forgotten wisdom:
Feeling is not the end. It is the threshold.

And yes…
We are also responsible.
Not for suppressing our emotions…
But for walking through them consciously.
For not projecting them onto others.
For not weaponizing them to avoid our own soul work.

We are here to meet the fire,
Dance in it,
Be reshaped by it.

Not because we are broken,
But because we remember.

🔥 You are not too emotional.
You are a keeper of emotional truth.
And that comes with power.
And with responsibility.

Hello Again from Mothering Roots Therapy & Wellness!

I’m Jenna Block, the owner and founder of Mothering Roots Therapy & Wellness. If we haven’t met yet—welcome. If we have, I’m so glad you’re here.

My journey into this work began in the depths of my own dark night of the soul—postpartum trauma and anxiety that left me unrecognizable to myself. In those early months of treatment, I found myself at The Redleaf Center for Healing, The Penny George Institute, and exploring homeopathy and deep feminine wisdom. Each step was a lifeline, guiding me back to myself, back to a truth deeper than the fear that had taken hold.

I once believed I’d never have another baby, convinced that my body, mind, and spirit couldn’t endure that pain again. But healing wasn’t about erasing the grief and fear — it was about meeting it. Grieving what never was. Awakening to what is. Releasing what was never ours to carry. Also, just deeply learning to flow with the seasons that change within and around me.

Now, my work extends beyond postpartum healing. I hold space for those in deep transition—

✨ Those experiencing a dark night of the soul
✨Immense loss of self and identities that once served us.
✨ Intuitives awakening to their gifts and inner knowing
✨ Feelers and sensors who were criticized as children and became perfectionists
✨ Anyone untangling the identities and truths they once carried and choosing something more real.

Through somatic experiencing, trauma-informed movement, breathwork, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and deep inner journeys back to self, we reclaim what was always ours.

As a Reiki Master and founder of The Grief Room ) I also offer sacred physical space for processing life’s transitions and cords of grief and loss that are so apart of this human experience — in community with others.

You are not alone in this unraveling, in this remembering. I see you. I honor your journey. And I am here to walk alongside you.

If you’d like to stay updated on upcoming offerings, DM me your email and I’ll add you to our email list. 🖤

This feels too important not to repost. 🖤

Posted by• a very, very difficult lesson.

01/02/2025

Because Saturday has led to reading and being nap-trapped, we are soaking in some of Mel Robbins’ Let Them Theory. It is a powerful reflection on self-liberation, rooted in wisdom, sovereignty, and emotional resilience.

It teaches that we cannot control how others think, feel, or behave—we can only master our own energy and response. When we release control, we step into alignment with our highest self.

🖤 “The more you try to control other people, the more miserable you become.”

Attempting to control others is exhausting—an effort that only leads to frustration and disconnection. True peace comes from allowing people to show you who they are and choosing your response with clarity and self-awareness. Instead of trying to change others, we can turn inward, acknowledge our emotions, and create safe spaces to process what has occurred.

🖤”When you stop chasing people, you give the right ones a chance to show up.”

Chasing relationships, approval, or validation often comes from fear—the belief that we must hold on tightly or risk losing something essential. But when we stop striving to keep what isn’t naturally present, we create space for genuine connection to unfold on its own.

🖤”The people who truly care will stay. The ones who don’t? Let them go.”

Not everyone is meant to walk alongside us forever. Some people enter our lives to teach, reflect, or challenge us, but their presence isn’t always permanent. Releasing them with grace allows us to honor what was while making peace with what is. The relationships meant to endure will do so without force.

🖤”Peace comes when you stop forcing things and start accepting reality.”

There is wisdom in surrender. It is not passive or weak but an intentional choice to accept what we cannot change. Trusting the natural unfolding of life allows us to move forward with less resistance, knowing that what is meant for us will remain, and what isn’t will fade away.

✨At its core, Let Them is an invitation to trust yourself, honor your emotions, and release what was never yours to hold. It is a practice of self-awareness, grounding, and returning to inner peace.

At The Grief Room, we believe in holding space for the stories that often go unspoken—the ones carried in our bodies, in our scars, in the tender places where grief and transformation meet.

We are honored to share that Our Cesarean Scars ( ) is holding their 3rd annual photoshoot, supported this year by The Snuggle House Foundation ( ). This powerful project offers a space to witness and be witnessed, to share the truths held in our cesarean scars—stories of birth, loss, resilience, and reclamation.
