In this episode of Conversation of the Heart my special guest Jane Johnson Wall, LMFT educated us on the depths, layers, and complications of perinatal loss and birth trauma.

Jane is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing virtually in California, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Florida. Her practice is women-centered, with an additional niche in perinatal/maternal mental health, including perinatal loss and birth trauma. She loves helping women feel empowered and connected to their inner bad-ass as they navigate through the various phases of their lives. She wants them to feel supported as they journey through the healing process.

She believes that the foundational component of a successful therapy experience is the interpersonal connection between therapist and client. Her clients would describe her as being relatable and easy-going. (*She likes to say that she lives in the “real world” too!*) That said, she will “lovingly” call people out on their $h!t! As part of her work in the field of perinatal/maternal mental health, she co-created The MotherLoad Collective, with her colleague, Kelsey Mizell. As part of their commitment to supporting mothers, they have created free resources and workshops for parents, and also host trainings for professionals who work with families. They believe that when mothers are supported, families thrive, and they are committed to expanding their offerings in this realm.

As we conclude this series on postpartum I had the honor of speaking with Dr. Shafer. Dr. Shafer detailed her complications with postpartum as well as diving into how important our villages are and suggestions on how we can be supportive of mothers. This was such a loaded conversation and couldn't have ended this series any better.

Dr Shafer is a musician turned physician (neurologist), Jay Shetty Certified life coach, author and publisher, and Host of the inspirational growth, health and healing-focused podcast Talks with Dr Shafer. Dr Shafer is passionate about helping people to reclaim their stories and build their most beautiful future. Dr Shafer also produces a literary podcast, What’s Up Young Authors, to help encourage young authors to write, publish and promote their work, and started a children’s literature-focused publishing company, Little House of Dreams Publishing. Dr Shafer believes it is never too early to show young people how important their voice truly is, and the power they possess to create a better world.

To help people suffering from Domestic Abuse and Intimate Partner Violence, Dr Shafer has created an online community, We Don’t Tell Our Stories, and an upcoming book of the same title to help in the reclaiming and recovery process through community, supportive content, and inspirational music, articles, video and audio content, and book resources. Dr Shafer can’t wait to share her message of growth and healing to reclaim your story and live a healthy, purpose-driven life through life’s challenges with your audience!
