Today we’re celebrating something EXTRA special — the 5th JL Birth Family baby has arrived earthside TODAY 💛🎉

After a journey filled with strength, trust, and so much courage, this mama welcomed her baby via a beautiful VBAC (vaginal birth after caesarean) — a powerful reminder of what the body, mind, and spirit can do when supported and believed in.

We are beyond honored to walk alongside our JL Birth families through these sacred moments. Five babies, five stories, and countless moments of strength, resilience, and love.

Welcome to the world, sweet baby 🤍
Your birth story is powerful.
Your mama is a warrior.
And your village is so proud.

After the holidays, many nervous systems are still catching up.
A reset doesn’t require new routines—it can look like fewer demands and more grounding.

Gentle mornings, slower pacing, and intentional rest are still productive.
Wellness starts with safety.

Welcome to the world, sweet baby 💕
This birth was guided by intention, choice, and so much love. Mom courageously chose a gentle cesarean—creating a calm, connected, and empowering welcome for her baby. From the first moments earthside, this journey was rooted in strength, presence, and deep care.

Honored to support this beautiful family as they welcomed their precious little one 🤍✨

🧡✨ Happy Thanksgiving from JL Counseling ✨🧡

Today we pause to reflect on the moments, people, and small joys that ground us. Gratitude isn’t just a holiday practice — it’s a powerful tool for mental wellness. Research shows that intentionally noticing what’s going well can help soften the weight of depression, shift our focus, and remind us that light still exists even on hard days.

I’m grateful for our clients, our community, and the opportunity to walk alongside you on your healing journey.
May your day be filled with peace, connection, and gentle moments of joy.

Wishing you a warm and restorative Thanksgiving. 🧡

Today, we honor the little lives that ended too soon — and the parents whose hearts will always carry their memory. 💗💙

1 in 4 women experience pregnancy or infant loss, yet so many walk through this grief in silence.
If you have loved and lost, please know: you are not alone. Your baby’s life mattered. Your pain is real. And your love is eternal.

At 7 PM tonight, we join families around the world for the International Wave of Light, lighting a candle for every baby gone too soon. Together, our lights create a beautiful chain of love and remembrance that stretches across the globe. 🌎✨

💫 You are seen.
💫 You are loved.
💫 Your baby will never be forgotten.

Have you ever noticed that your social media feed seems to only show one side of things? That’s what we call an ECHO CHAMBER—when your online world is filled mostly with voices that sound just like yours.

At first, it feels comforting to see your own beliefs reflected back to you. But over time, echo chambers can:
🔄 Limit your perspective
🔥 Increase anxiety or anger when you finally encounter a different opinion
😔 Create a sense of isolation from friends or family who think differently
🧠 Strengthen “us vs. them” thinking, which can hurt relationships and peace of mind

Our minds need variety, just like our bodies need a balanced diet. Exposing yourself to different viewpoints—even if you don’t agree—can help reduce stress, encourage empathy, and protect your mental wellness.

💡 Try this: Follow a few credible pages with different perspectives, talk with people outside your usual circle, and practice listening instead of debating. You don’t have to change your beliefs to benefit from a broader view.

Remember: a healthy mind thrives on balance, not walls. 💙
🌀 Do you think your social media feed is an echo chamber?

✨ Planning a C-Section? You Can Still Have a Doula! ✨

Many people think doulas are only for vaginal births, but the truth is—our support is just as valuable during a planned cesarean! 💛

As your doula, I can:
🤍 Help you prepare emotionally & practically before surgery
🤍 Guide you in creating a gentle/family-centered c-section plan
🤍 Support you & your partner before, during, and after birth
🤍 Assist with postpartum recovery, baby care, and feeding

A c-section is still your birth, and you deserve to feel informed, supported, and empowered every step of the way.

Schedule your free consultation to learn how I can help you have a positive c-section experience.
