Nurturing the Inner Midwifery Journey:
Essential Tools and Practices for Sustaining Wellness in Midwifery Care A special new class with Dr. Gauri Lowe, a medical doctor and natural birth specialist, presenting practices and tools to support your midwifery work. Four 90 minute Sessions on Mondays June 3, 10, 17 and 24, 2024, 11am (EDT) Midwives play a crucial role that often goes unnoticed and unacknowledged, serving as a significant support system for doctors in this field. It is harder to ignore the prevalent issue of fatigue and burnout among midwives, stemming from the demanding nature of their roles, whether working independently, within centers, or in hospitals.
Medical and supportive structures often fall short in delving into the emotional and psychological well-being of midwives. Consequently, many surface-level solutions lead midwives to seek their own resources or leave the system altogether. This course provide practical tools that midwives can integrate into their busy lives to ground themselves and release the stressors inherent in their work. This group course fosters a safe and supportive community, offering a space for sharing, growth, and rejuvenation, ultimately enabling midwives to continue their work with pregnant and laboring women in a manner that feels balanced, aligned, and complete. Course Content
Module 1: The Role of the Midwife - Integrating Sacred Wisdom into Clinical Practice Module 2: The Daily Midwife - a thorough exploration of the intricate web of interconnected factors that contribute to burnout and stress within the realm of midwifery and how this affects us. Module 3: Sustainable Solutions for Midwifery Well-being - finding real life and practical solutions for sustained support for midwives to effectively do a very important job with the resources they need (mind, body and soul) (including boundaries, advocacy, self care, support, nutrition and supplements) Module 4: Cultivating Resilient Midwifery Practices - integration and Planning forward. |
The Inner Child Process with Robin Grille
A 6-session practitioner training for practitioners New course now enrolling Starting June 12, 2024 7pm EDT There are times when the journey of being a parent can almost feel like it is breaking us. But if we know how to read these moments of challenge and overwhelm, we see something new: we see that the journey is breaking us … open! Understanding the developmental needs of our own Inner Child can transform the times of parental stress, helplessness and conflict into doorways to the greatest personal growth and healing journey of our lives.
If you are a counsellor, therapist or parent-coach, and you’d like to learn how to facilitate Inner Child Journeys safely and effectively as part of your practice, this course will equip you with evidence-based skills and competency in my approach to Inner Child Journeying. Expand for more
My approach to Inner Child Journeying has brought vital and transformative changes to clients and workshop participants around the world for many years. The many obstacles and blind-alleys that parents and teachers commonly face in child-rearing will often have something to do with old emotional wounds that have been triggered in the adult. Without this insight, what we say or do for our children can too-often miss the mark. But compassionate self-awareness gives us more gifts than we might imagine. The more closely we know our Inner Child, the more intuitive we become about what our children need. Moreover, we discover that even the most painful or frustrating challenges brought to us by our children are rich opportunities for our own healing and growth. This Inner Child Process offers a safe, step-by-step method for contacting the deep feelings, thoughts and wisdom of the Child that lives in all of us, clearing a path for healing and personal unfoldment.

The Archetypal Pulse and the Kinetic Chain: Their roles in Resolving Trauma and Restoring Health
Four two-hour classes Class dates: June 12, 19, 26 and July 3 Noon Eastern Time The notion of the Deep Pulse is a powerful yet under-appreciated principle in much of therapy. In Formative Psychology, Stanley Keleman calls it the archetypal pulse. Other versions of this concept can be seen in other modalities as well. This Deep Pulse underlies all experience, as well as all physiological and psychological rhythms.
This organizing pulse, when interrupted or over-aroused, such as in trauma or other challenging life experiences, disturbs the homeostatic and embodiment process. This short course will introduce the Pulse and suggest some ways to access it directly, primarily through the methodology of Formative Embodiment. The course will consist of lecture, demonstration, and selected small group activities. The attendee should come away with a clear sense of the possibilities of this approach to the health and healing process. Expand for more information
Course Contents: Seminar 1: The Archetypal Pulse We explore the different expressions of the pulse process and differentiate its phases and functions. TopIcs:
Seminar 2: The Kinetic Chain The kinetic chain is generally considered as the primary set of biomechanical relations in the body, beginning in the nervous system and extending through muscle, connective tissue, and joints. The kinetic chain is sustained by and expresses various layers of the pulse. Topics:
Seminar 3: The Formative Paradigm We will track selected aspects of the Formative Process from conception to the mature adult. The body´s form is a combination of genetic, social and personal influences seeking satisfaction and completion. Topics:
Seminar 4: Applications A deep appreciation of the educational and therapeutic possibilities of the pulse process requires personal experience. From this base it is possible to build a responsiveness to the formative needs of others. Topics:

Foundations Courses now Enrolling for New York City, Arizona, Australia and Virginia
This Foundations course in Integrated Prenatal and Perinatal Dynamics™ offers the basic building blocks for working early overwhelming states that may occur starting preconception, including conception, pregnancy, birth and attachment. Often called early developmental trauma, recognition, reaching and healing ruptures or interruptions in development from this early time are increasingly seen as the cracks in the foundation of human health. Come, study, learn, heal.
Current healing science now includes overwhelming childhood experiences and ancestral patterns; the prenatal and perinatal period is the missing piece. This introductory workshop will give you tools so you can normalize early difficulty and have a skill base to help families get the best possible start and individuals onto the healing path. The first step is working with your own internal states and is vital to the relationship you establish with your client base. Our course combines early trauma resolution with midwifery model of care.

Listen to Kate on the Field Dynamics Podcast
Kate was a recent guest on the Field Dynamics Podcast where she gives us an overview of pre and perinatal care, her skillset in presence and reading the space between people, and the influence of pioneers in the field Ray Castellino and William Emerson. They discuss the body as memory, and the layers and imprints of pre-conception, pre-natal and birthing trauma. She shares the commonality of the "double bind" and a "stuck place" in life as a result of inherited or birth trauma. Listen to this an much more: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1958873/12407389 |
