About Us
At Beloveds Counseling, we offer Premarital and Pre-Commitment Counseling for couples who want to start their marriage off with a strong foundation and the skills to build a lasting life together.
We believe ALL love is sacred. It’s something to be nurtured, tended to, and held with care—especially during life’s most tender transitions. Whether you’re preparing for marriage, becoming parents, or finding your way through relationship uncertainty, you deserve a space where your love is met with warmth, wisdom, and compassion.
Founded by Rev. Maeba Jonas, M.Div., a Spiritual Life Coach, retreat leader and ordained interfaith chaplain, Beloveds Counseling was born from the belief that more than anything else, we want to love and be loved — and that growth and healing begin with being deeply seen by another.
Our name honors both the couples we serve and the relationships we cherish. To be someone’s beloved is to be chosen, kept, and known. To do the work of becoming beloved—again and again—is the sacred invitation of partnership.
We guide couples with grace, authenticity, and gentle accountability, drawing from evidence-based practices and inclusive strategies. At Beloveds Counseling, we strive to help you communicate deeply, rediscover passion, and ignite a relationship that endures. Let’s begin!
Meet Maeba
Welcome! I am so glad you are here
I’m Maeba—an ordained interfaith chaplain, spiritual counselor, mother, partner, and storyteller. I created Beloveds Counseling as a sacred space for couples who want to nurture their connection with care, courage, and intention.
My path into this work has been shaped by my own seasons of love, loss, and transformation. I’ve walked with people in their most vulnerable moments: at the altar, in hospital rooms, becoming parents, and during the quiet reckonings of everyday life. What I’ve learned is this—our deepest desire is to love and be loved.
As a certified Prepare/Enrich facilitator and Gottman Level II Couples Therapy counselor, I blend research-backed relationship tools with the soul-deep work of spiritual care. I specialize in supporting couples through major life transitions—especially engagement, early parenthood, and periods of relational doubt or renewal.
Beloveds Counseling is where I bring my full self: professional and personal, practical and poetic. My passion, my healing, my motherhood, and my spirituality are all part of what I offer.
I believe love is sacred. I believe every couple deserves the chance to grow in safety, clarity, and connection. And I believe you already have what you need inside of you—you just need someone to walk with you on your journey of discovery.
Whether you're preparing to say “I do,” wondering where the closeness went, or feeling the weight of a life-changing shift—I'm here for you.
Remember, You are already beloved.

Maeba’s Story
Healing is a journey I know intimately
Like many of the people I now walk alongside, I have traveled through seasons of heartbreak, transformation, and rediscovery. I know what it’s like to reach a crossroads — to wonder if true connection, true belonging, are really possible.
I also know the deep, soul-stirring joy of finding my way home: to myself, to love, and to the sacred life unfolding all around me. Today, I offer transformative relationship support to couples, spiritual counseling, and somatic healing practices to help others reconnect with their wholeness, their beloveds, and their sacred wisdom within.
The path back to love
My journey into this work began not with a plan, but with a breaking open.
After experiencing a painful divorce before the age of 30, I realized that true healing would require more than resilience — it would require a radical commitment to my own worth, wholeness, and sacredness.
Through years of trauma-informed therapy, somatic retreats, spiritual practice, and deep soul work, I found my way back to trust — trust in myself, trust in love, trust in the unfolding path.
Eventually, I met my soul-love and together we embarked on the adventures of a lifetime.
Becoming a parent
The transition to motherhood shook old foundations and called me even deeper into healing, communication, and compassion.
What I discovered during that time is now the heart of the work I offer:
Healing is not just about “fixing” ourselves — it’s about remembering our sacredness, and learning how to share it, courageously, with ourselves and with those we love.
Life’s sacred transitions — falling in love, healing from heartbreak, stumbling along a spiritual path, or building a family — can feel overwhelming, even isolating.
I’m here to walk with you through these tender moments with compassion, deep listening, and heartfelt support tailored to your story.
Whether you are seeking to heal old wounds, strengthen your relationship, or rediscover your connection to yourself and the Sacred, this is a space where you are honored, seen, and celebrated.
“Remember, you are already beloved”
