Jody Lambert,
Perinatal Couples Counsellor
Your perinatal specialist with two decades of experience helping couples thrive in pregnancy, early parenthood, and beyond.
When Growing Your Family Strains Your Relationship
You’re not connecting like before. Conversations easily turn to argument. Interactions feel heavy and unsupportive. Your pregnancy and baby should bring you closer, but too often it feels like you are just on different pages. You wonder: “Are we going to make it through this? How do we give our baby what they need? How do we get back to being a team?” Bringing a dependent baby into your family can test even the strongest relationships. But with the support of a specialist in couples and perinatal work, you can feel more connected as a couple and more confident in your ability as parents to your new baby.
Jody Lambert combines deep compassion, dual Master’s degrees (Marriage & Family Therapy and Behavioral Psychology from the University of Winnipeg) and two decades of experience helping couples navigate emotionally-difficult issues and transitions. She’s on top of the latest research and she has the skill that it takes to help partners and family members achieve both short term and long-lasting improvements in their primary relationships — and in their dual roles as partners and new parents.
Two Decades of Helping Couples Strengthen In Big Transitions
Jody’s relationship-focused approach helps couples:
- Repair and strengthen bonds during major family transitions
- Navigate perinatal anxiety, depression, and stress together as a team
- Build resilience through attachment-focused therapy and evidence-based methods
- Develop practical communication and conflict resolution skills using EFT, CBT, and DBT
Her philosophy drives everything she does:
“When people have supportive, enriched connections, they’re less likely to get sick, feel pain, or make harmful decisions. People who feel secure in their social connections are more likely to take risks, be resilient through change, and report feeling happier with their lives.”
During preganancy and after birth, Jody helps partners support one another in the moment to through the challenges — while helping them build a foundation for long-term family wellness.
Jody is committed to empowering you to feel calm and confident
“To empower you through safety, guidance and tools so you can move through this time with more calm and confidence, feeling less anxious and more supported.”
When couples’ issues are left to fester, parenting troubles and baby health risks increase.
To give your baby the secure attachment they need for a lifetime of health, an essential thing you can do is to tend to the strength of your bonds with your adult partner. When a perinatal issue enters the picture for one or both partners — pregnancy anxiety, postpartum depression, or the inevitable relationship adjustments that come with growing your family — Jody will help you gain new tools, insights, and skills to navigate your way through these challenges and build resilience for yourselves and your whole family.
