About Prenatal and Perinatal Health
The pre- and perinatal period includes the time before conception, pregnancy, birth and the first year of life. Many aspects of health come into play. Recent findings in cell biology, neuroscience and epigenetics emphasize that our being is influenced by our ancestors experiences, our mother's experience when we were in-utero, our birth and bonding and attachment with our caregivers.These early and ancestral experiences can influence our genetic code and create implicit memories that in turn, influence our perceptions and experiences today.

Articles by Kate on Prenatal and Perinatal work
Online Ebook: "I Had a Baby": Three Steps in Healing Difficult Births Over many years of practice, I developed an approach to help families heal from difficult births. Our training program for professionals addresses the layers of experience a family has when getting pregnant, carrying a baby, birthing and after the baby is born. Our program has been so successful, we wrote an ebook that can help you get started healing right away. We recommend an appointment with Kate, a member of her teaching team, or one of her graduates or colleages. The three steps are outlined below and are in the attached pdf. |
