If you are thinking of joining our 2024 cohort please act quickly as there are limited spaces and when we ran this course in 2023, 2022 and 2021 the cohorts filled up extremely quickly.

(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. ​

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
