E: eleanorluzes@uol.com.br
I am a Brazilian medical doctor, psychiatrist and Jungian analyst. My work with pregnant couples has led me to understand that in order to foster the quality of pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding it is necessary to impart the knowledge we have about the prenatal and perinatal development of the mind to high school seniors. This year, I am preparing a psychology doctorate introducing the concept of "Science of the Beginning of Life" as a high school curriculum subject. I work with the NGO Pensamento Ecólogico (Ecological Thinking) to qualify disseminators who take this knowledge to schools and communities.

Affect Regulation and Resilience Building Skills. I am aware of the impact of prenatal and perinatal imprints across the life span. I share simple and user friendly tools to refocus attention on accessing a restorative and heart centered nervous system response that can pleasantly down regulate an overactive nervous system. These tools can facilitate the growth of neural networks to emotional states of inner safety and calm. Regaining emotional control and inner safety allows deeper work, when necessary, to be done in a newly resourced and non traumatizing manner.

Birth Sequencing in your Daily Life.
I’m also available for INTERACTIVE EDUCATIONAL TALKS. Mature, experienced practitioner with 15 years counseling, psychotherapy and group work experience, extensively trained in Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology. HEALING and INTEGRATING prenatal and birth trauma with babies, kids and adults; PREVENTION of early trauma with pre-pregnant and pregnant couples - from preconception, through post-birth bonding. Your journey into life is unique, and shapes the way you feel in your body, and in your core self. Many of your current and core beliefs, and the way you create and perceive your life, originate in your experience of your conception, your womb life, and in your birth sequencing imprints. These very powerful early experiences usually remain outside of your conscious awareness but are easily accessible. Memories from this early time are not cognitive, but we all remember them in many powerful ways. Becoming aware of these influences allows us to better understand ourselves, our patterns of behavior, and how we relate to others, including our children.

In partnership with consultant OB Yehudi Gordon, I run a programme called 'babiesknow'. It is designed to support parents and carers to understand and appreciate the consciousness and emotional needs of the baby, and how their own unintegrated emotional issues may impact their relationship as parents or carers.
