I am pleased to be teaching this webinar as part of the Association for Pre and Perinatal Psychology and Health Somatics Lecture Series.

Experience ultimate healing in one of the most beautiful places on Earth! Join us for 8 decadent days together in the beauty of Costa Rica! Escape mid-winter and restore yourself with network chiropractic entrainments, embodied transformational yoga, meditation, gratitude practices, and optional bodywork, somatic therapy and coaching sessions!

Holistic childbirth preparation classes incorporate relaxation and self-hypnosis techniques for pregnancy and childbirth. Classes support a mother's natural instincts and pre-birth bonding to experience a more empowered birthing. Five, 2.5 hour classes are held in a small group format to support mothers and their partners, or birth companions to prepare for an empowered and embodied birth experience. 

In this four part series we will explore bonding and attachment, from the perspective of Somatic Perinatal Psychology, developmental movement, Somatic Experiencing® and Body Mind Centering. This workshop is perfect for doulas, midwives, lactation specialists, psychotherapists, bodyworkers, physical therapists, and any professional who works with babies and families.

Deepen your holistic skills for supporting healthy pregnancy, birth, postpartum, abortion and pregnancy loss. Explore different styles of touch and practice Jin Shin Jyutsu and Acupressure points for common symptoms, emotional states, and emergency first aid.

Weaving together tools from Somatic Experiencing® and Perinatal Somatic Psychology, you will learn powerful exercises from a body-oriented perspective to expand and deepen your skill set for working with clients. Through bringing awareness to your own experiences, you will expand your capacity to be present with others.

Building on the foundation of basic midwifery skills, we delve in deeper, to learn and practice speculum exams, measuring dilation, catching babies, managing postpartum bleeding, and assessing newborns.  Herbal medicine, placenta medicine, homeopathy and acupressure is taught and applied throughout the curriculum material. Requirement: Beginning Midwifery Skills Practicum or equivalent experience. 

Together we will explore the physiology and psychology of experiencing and healing miscarriage, abortion and birth loss. Learning will include herbs and homeopathy, trauma resolution, ritual, and other embodied practices. This is an opportunity for doulas, midwives, therapists and other care providers, as well as people who have experienced loss to share and listen to stories and discover how we heal.

We gather each month for a full year. This is a unique opportunity for birth professionals of all kinds to deepen your knowledge and skills in holistic health while also being part of a nurturing community of dynamic women. Each gathering is dedicated to self care and skill-building. 

In this workshop we weave together cutting edge tools and exercises from Somatic Experiencing® and Somatic Perinatal Psychology. In this seminar you will optimize individual and group health, deepen communication skills, experience empowered vulnerability, and increase competency and productivity.
