(Please note that the number of participants is limited so that there is enough opportunity for you to have a fully interactive experience during the tutorials and be fully supported in your journey to treating and helping babies).
Foundations Courses now Enrolling for New York City, Arizona, Australia and Virginia
This Foundations course in Integrated Prenatal and Perinatal Dynamics™ offers the basic building blocks for working early overwhelming states that may occur starting preconception, including conception, pregnancy, birth and attachment. Often called early developmental trauma, recognition, reaching and healing ruptures or interruptions in development from this early time are increasingly seen as the cracks in the foundation of human health. Current healing science now includes overwhelming childhood experiences and ancestral patterns; the prenatal and perinatal period is the missing piece. This introductory workshop will give you tools so you can normalize early difficulty and have a skill base to help families get the best possible start and individuals onto the healing path. The first step is working with your own internal states and is vital to the relationship you establish with your client base. Our course combines early trauma resolution with midwifery model of care.  Come, study, learn, heal. ​
​
Learning Objectives. Participants will:
  • Develop skills of self and co-regulation, stabilization, and coherency in the body.
  • Demonstrate basic skills for trauma release, including resourcing, facilitated felt sense exercises, and directed energy techniques.
  • Create touch sequences to stabilize and facilitate energy in the body for trauma release.
  • Understand one aspect of the baby's experience of birth from the inside out, and the 5 point sequence as an imprint.
  • Differentiate and introductory sense of the blueprint and imprint in trauma prevention and resolution.

Listen to Kate on the Field Dynamics Podcast
Kate was a recent guest on the Field Dynamics Podcast where she gives us an overview of pre and perinatal care, her skillset in presence and reading the space between people, and the influence of pioneers in the field Ray Castellino and William Emerson. They discuss the body as memory, and the layers and imprints of pre-conception, pre-natal and birthing trauma. She shares the commonality of the "double bind" and a "stuck place" in life as a result of inherited or birth trauma. Listen to this an much more: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1958873/12407389
