🍁 Honoring Loss & Supporting Grieving Families 🍁

Loss has many faces — a baby born still, a pregnancy that ended too soon, a loved one gone before we were ready. Each story deserves to be honored with tenderness, remembrance, and care. 💜

If you or someone you love is navigating grief, you are not alone. Here are a few gentle resources to help support the healing journey:

✨ Local bereavement & support groups
✨ Journaling or creating memory keepsakes
✨ Talking with a trusted counselor or doula trained in loss
✨ Lighting a candle or planting something in remembrance

Grief has no timeline, but love never fades. Let’s continue to hold space for families, speak their names, and honor their stories. 🕯️

💜 October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month 💜
This month, we pause to honor the little lives gone too soon and hold space for the families who carry them forever in their hearts. 💫

To every parent who has experienced loss—you are not alone. Your grief is valid, your love is eternal, and your babies will always be remembered.

On October 15th, during the Wave of Light, candles will be lit across the world at 7 p.m. to honor these precious lives. We invite you to join in lighting a candle and spreading love, hope, and remembrance. 🕯️✨

May healing, compassion, and community surround all who are grieving this month and beyond. 💜

✨🤰🏽 This past Saturday, we hosted another powerful From the Womb Workshop, facilitated by Shannon Johns, Founder & President of Calming Nature Doula— and it was such an inspiring and informational session!

Parents-to-be had the chance to:
👶🏾 Learn about the stages of labor and delivery through hands-on demonstrations
🍼 Practice newborn care with teaching dolls and real-life scenarios
🌱 Explore positions, tools, and resources for a safe birthing journey
💬 Ask questions and connect with a supportive community

Workshops like these empower families with knowledge, confidence, and resources to thrive before and after birth. 💕

A huge thank you to Shannon for her guidance, and to all the families who joined us — your participation makes this space so special.

Stay tuned for details on our next session — we’d love for you to be a part of it!

🌿 Supporting Families, Nurturing Growth 🌿

At Calming Nature Service and Center, our mission has always been rooted in care, compassion, and community. Our doula had the privilege of joining her clients at Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center’s prenatal class. These moments are more than education — they are opportunities to walk alongside families, offering steady encouragement, heartfelt guidance, and unconditional love.

We believe that preparing for parenthood is not a journey meant to be taken alone. It takes a village to nurture both parents and children, and together we can grow into stronger, healthier, and more supported families. At Calming Nature, it is our honor to remind every family that they are seen, valued, and never alone on this path. 💜✨
