Somatic trauma resolution practitioners are ideally trained to specialize in helping to prevent and heal birth trauma.  Healing from these early imprints can be a game changer for healthy human development.  In this workshop you will learn advanced somatic resolution skills for treating perinatal trauma. Treating birth trauma is more complex than shock trauma; it often brings up earlier and developmental traumas.  It involves many people: the birthing parent, other parent or partner, the baby, and the birthing staff.

This workshop applies quintessential somatic skills to healing birth trauma:

•  Medicalized Birth Trauma
• The Shock of Witnessing
• Working with a Birthing Timeline (single episode) in relationship to the body
• Restoring Primitive Survival Responses to Overwhelming Situations
• Attack and Assault
• Near Death
• Injury and Recovery
• Repairing Relationship to Essential Self, Supportive Other, and World

 
Prerequisites: Professional Healing Practice
Intermediate 1 Somatic Experiencing® or Skills in somatic modalities, birthing, parenting coaching or relevant experience

What is a "Leading Edge"? Simply put, the "leading edge" is a term coined by Ray Castellino that means a primary therapeutic window for healing and repatterning imprints that are overwhelming, and running unconsciously in our lives. While working in our leading edge, we can bridge and integrate the energy that has been frozen or encapsulated in our bodies with the skills of presence, conscious awareness and the bodily, felt sense. You can learn to recognize your leading edge, and gain skills and practice to change the pattern! You can choose a new way. Come learn! A professional study group for practitioners of all kinds.
​
What will you learn? Healing wants to happen, always. We are a community of practice. The Leading Edge offers the latest information from the frontier of healing arts where vanguard practitioners and educators blend trauma resolution, consciousness studies, neuroscience and somatic or body-oriented practices. As a participant in this study group you will learn:

• 5 foundational practitioner skills
• working with blueprint and imprint
• polyvagal nervous system practices
  • Reclaiming our natural instincts
• the body as a portal
• 5 point sequence and how to apply it

• coherency, potency, and skills of connection
• the latest neuroscience, adverse experiences study
• trauma-informed practices
• resiliency, post-traumatic growth and presence

Format: 8 two-hour classes for 2 months

Module 1: History Taking: Taking the birth history, how to make history taking easy, and a walkthrough of the history
Module 2: Examination of the Baby: The examination framework, examining the baby's cranium, and knowing your skills and safety
Module 3: Treatment: Challenge or ease, finding the ease, challenging the tissues, thorax and shoulder complex, treating the cranium, and what treatment to use when
Module 4: Putting it All Together: Action plan, referrals and red flags, improving your skills.

Episode 107: Repairing Pre and Perinatal Trauma and Listening to Babies with Kate White

---

Qigong, energy cultivation, is a simple practice. Embryology is an act of re-membering, of listening to the echo of our formation and growth. Principles underlying our embryological development can enrich our qigong practice and embodiment. No embryology or qigong experience is needed. The principles and movements of embryology can serve as a basis for future study. These principles are universal and underlie many practices of energy and cultivation. ​Embryological processes and body-based qigong practices we will consider include:

• Egg and sperm; stillness - movement
• Early cell division; membrane - fluid balance
• Yolk sac and amnion; internal and external Seas of Qi
• Primitive streak; onset of our mesoderm, sense of weight and width
• Allantois; our lower dan tien
• Notochord; our soft spine
• Blood vessel formation; spatial support for our heart, middle dan tien
• Caudal eminence; grounding our spinal cord and central nervous system
• Limb buds; sprouting and spiraling our arms and legs
• Releasing our coccyx from our lower limbs; lateral weight shift
• Pro-kidneys; lengthening our back and easing energy expenditure
• Embryonic breathing; abdominal organs and membranes
• Neuroenteric canal; balancing front body and back body
• Central channel; seated meditation
