This training is for practitioners who are interested in working with families who have difficult births, babies and with adults who have prenatal and perinatal trauma patterns. 

Each module will present the issues and patterns that come from this distinct time in a mother/baby's life: preconception, conception, prenatal experience, birth, and the postnatal period.  Our experiences in infancy lay the ground for our lifelong health and happiness. 

​This training will also include the latest science on epigenetics and polyvagal theory, patterns from the prenatal and perinatal period, the midwife's perspective, birth stories, and somatic approaches to help families, babies and adults recover from difficulty and go on to thrive.


Each human being has a bio-psycho-spiritual blueprint. This aspect of health is at the basis of our physical bodies and has been illustrated by such images as a tree of life. Included in this logo we have a young baby within an adult tree, showing the idea that the seeds of experiences in our first years continue to affect us into adulthood. In our program, Integrated Prenatal and Perinatal Dynamics™, we work with imprints from early traumas or overwhelming experiences. In our understanding, the best trauma resolution therapies must include a thorough understanding of health and sensitive ways to support people who have had overwhelming experiences. Our logo shares a message of hope, that therapeutic work aligning with the blueprint can reach and shift even life-long held patterns in people of any age.
 
Each mammal lives within a group, each tree relates to others whether in a forest or not. Our image is not meant to stand alone -- we hold true that each being has layers and layers of support and relationships.  Come study with us! ~ Kate White and Lois Trezise ​
