“This
program begins where traditional education ends. Here is a truly
personal preparation for childbirth, reaching emotional and unconscious
depths.” -David Chamberlain, PhD, former president of the Association for Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health, author of The Mind of Your Newborn Baby and Windows to the Womb
About the Programs
Becoming a mother is a
pivotal experience in a woman’s development. Giving birth is the
threshold to motherhood. It is not a neutral event. Childbirth can be
gratifying and empowering or devastating and traumatic to a woman’s
psyche. This program gives childbirth professionals the necessary tools
to help a woman explore and express her deepest needs at this important
developmental milestone. The training enables the practitioner to
effectively assist a woman in gaining valuable insight into her core
beliefs and feelings about childbirth, family and motherhood, ensuring
an increased ability to adapt to the power and flow of labor. This model
is based on Dr. Gayle Peterson’s philosophy and childbirth preparation
program originally presented in 1980 in her groundbreaking
book, Birthing Normally: A Personal Growth Approach to
Childbirth and developed over more than 35 years of research and
clinical practice.
