Where Our Story Begins

HOW we are welcomed into this world MATTERS -
and influences us for the rest of our lives

Birth Psychology is a field of study that explores the lifelong impact of our earliest conscious awareness beginning in the womb.

Our pregnancy, birth and attachment experiences have an ongoing and cascading effect on shaping our adult lives.

These foundational relationships, in turn, impact our world in a profound way.
