-Your typical Facebook group. The Facebook group is strictly made up of a members who are pregnant or postpartum and has a strong moderator presence who specializes in maternal mental health.
-A quick fix. See, when we focus on the problems and the solutions, we lose sight of the person itself. In our community at Nurture Lounge, its not about the problems and solutions. It's about nurturing you, with community, encouragement, support and empowerment.
-A Therapy or Counseling space. Therapy is an excellent resource that we often recommend when appropriate. Although the Nurture Lounge is hosted and moderated by a Licensed Professional Counselor and include some elements of self-reflection and psychoeducation, it is not a therapy service and is not intended to be a substitute to counseling or any professional help.
A safe, close-knit and supportive community that helps pregnant and postpartum mothers feel less isolated and more connected, nurtured, and empowered to be the person (and Mom) they wish to be.

FAQ's
What will be my biggest takeaways as a member of The Nurture Lounge™?
The biggest takeaway will be connection, understanding and a supportive community. Each member in the community will experience growth, meaningful connection with other Moms and ultimately create lifelong friendships. You will also learn how to be more confident, compassionate and nurturing to yourself.
How do I engage with the community?
The primary platform of engagement for live Q & A will be Zoom, a private Nurture Lounge™ Facebook group that only members can join after they register and a portal that will include all recordings of the Zoom Q & A events.
What is the monthly investment in the Nurture Lounge™?
The Founding members (ones who join first when we open in February 2021) will join with Founding Members special rate at $40/month for the first 12 months. When we reopen membership in late Spring, Membership will be set at $60/month.
Can I join anytime?
Nurture Lounge™ officially begins on February 1st 2021. Registration will close on February 12th, so we can focus on our new members and their needs. We will reopen registration again in April or May.
Can I cancel my membership anytime?
Yes, at Nurture Lounge™, we encourage and empower you to make decisions that serve you best. It is our belief that what you will find here will be so uplifting and engaging that you will stay as long as you need to. The longer you stay, the more benefits you will receive.
Membership is month-to-month, so you are not making any long term commitments. You can cancel membership at anytime. Your access will continue until the last day of the month that your membership is cancelled.
How is this different than the free Facebook groups?
Free groups are inundated with members, periodically monitored and posts can often get lost among several other posts. Our Nurture Lounge™ community is selective, you will have live contact with expert professionals, and the group will be moderated and monitored by a mental health professional.
I understand not everyone likes FB and some maybe don't have an account. I've researched alternatives to Facebook groups, but at this time, this seems to be the best option for the community I'm trying to create. I will keep searching!
How is this different from therapy?
Therapy is usually individual or in small groups where the therapist and client delve deep in to old traumas and hurts that impact their present day to day functioning. The Nurture Lounge™ is not meant to be a therapy experience. It is purely focused on cultivating an exclusive online community/village of moms with a shared experience that can find comfort, relief and support from each other along with accessible guidance from expert professionals.
What if I can’t make it to a live group meeting or Q & A session?
Motherhood can get really unpredictable sometimes! All group meetings are recorded, so you can watch when you’re ready.
Can my spouse attend these with me?
Yes! Absolutely! At no extra cost. We welcome & encourage partners to be involved and they can attend all live events with you for free!
A little about me:
Hi, I’m Heena, a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in perinatal mental health.
Pregnancy leads to the birth of a baby but also the birth of a mother. I help Moms recognize that nurturing themselves is just as important as nurturing baby.
I’ve been there. I was a first time Mom a few years ago. I was surrounded by professionals, family and friends that cared for and supported me. Yet, I felt lonely. Picking up the phone to call anyone was a big feat.
I was missing the social support, a connection with other Moms who knew what it was like to be me at this time, a community that would not judge me, the convenience of accessing busy professionals when I needed them the most.
The Nurture Lounge™ was born with the dream of cultivating the community that I wish I had when I was a new Mom. It's truly a labor of love :)
It is my hope that you are able to experience what I didn’t during my postpartum period: a safe supportive community of Moms and professionals that really get it.
