It is always an honor to be at a birth. I truly have missed it all.

It still amazes me what the human body can do, to bring a whole life into this world is just beautiful.

Labor is such a mental game and I cant even explain how important it is to be in a positive mindset going into labor. It changes the whole dynamic of birth always. I always tell clients, trust yourself and your ability to birth your baby.

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms!
To the ones longing to be moms, the moms who are grieving, the ones who lost their moms, all the moms!

Your reminder for today:

Don't forget to be kind to yourself on hard days!

Because we all have those days and that's okay. But remember that it's temporary.

Transgender Day of Visibility was started by Member and activist Rachel Crandall-Crocker in 2009 as a reaction to the lack of recognition of trans people, noting that the only well-known gender diversity centered day was the Trans Day of Remembrance, a day of mourning. TDOV was created to acknowledge and celebrate living members of the transgender community. International Transgender Day of Visibility has been held on March 31 ever since!

Depression can look like many things.
Sometimes you can see it very clearly and sometimes it can hide in between the shadows.
But many times depression closes you off, it shuts people off, it makes you feel empty, amongst other things.

So please, if you or someone you know is experiencing depression, have them reach out to someone to simply just hear their story to start.

You matter!

This is your reminder that whatever stage of parenthood you are in your postpartum journey could last forever.

Healing during your postpartum journey can take longer than you expect, and that is OKAY! We are all human, and we deserve to have time to heal.

Happy February, friends! ❤️

Hi! I'm Joanna, but go by Jo. As many of you know, this page has been dedicated to my Birth Doula content the last couple of years. It's been a remarkable journey supporting many families and welcoming babies earthside. I will still be supporting some cleints that are repeats and being a backup for close friends, but my heart for a long time has missed being in the clinical world.

Which brings us here today! A few months ago, I decided it was time to go back to my Social Worker roots! I'm working at a private practice, working with perinatal mental health, families transitioning into parenthood, adolescents, and individuals. I love creating a safe space for ALL! When you walk into my office, the first thing you will see is a sign saying, "This is a safe space to be who you are." I enjoy using CBT, psychotherapy, yoga, mindfulness, art therapy, and attachment theories in practice, amongst others.

You can find me on Psychology Today, as well as the main Life Balance Counseling website! Feel free to send an inquiry today!
