Birthing a New World:

Creating Compassionate Birth Models That Work

APPPAH’s 2024 Birth Summit

March 4th - 25th, 2024

Birth Psychology Month celebrates the transdisciplinary practices shaping the cutting-edge field of the pre and perinatal sciences. All month long, you will encounter luminaries who create compassionate birth models that nurture human potential and family connection. This diverse gathering of souls will encompass parents, birth professionals, health practitioners, therapists, sages, coaches, and change agents who make up the mandala of Life on our Planet.

Womb Ecology becomes World Ecology

Birth Psychology is a field of study that explores the lifelong impact of our earliest experiences during pregnancy, birth and attachment.

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