Under Construction
Creating conditions for health and healing that last a lifetime!
This program welcomes families who want to conceive, are pregnant, preparing for birth, and are in the first year after birth. It is for people considering parenthood, couples, and families who are pregnant or postpartum. It is also for practitioners who help families and are interested in working with a prenatal and perinatal somatic tool kit.
This program is part of "the Little House Next to the Hospital System," a branded approach to supporting IPPD graduates and families for greater health and a more peaceful world.
This is an online asynchronous course that parents can choose, and IPPD graduates can guide parents through. Links will be provided once it is complete. It resides in Prenatal and Perinatal Healing Online
