Birth Mask Reveal – Level 1: Class 3 out of 4 classes

Wednesday April 26, 2023 2:00-5:00 pm EST

Karlton Terry joins APPPAH in April to teach this foundation course of the Birth Mask Reveal (BMR) training. Our Birth Masks are the story of our cranial and facial molding caused by compression and drag forces during birth.  Evaluating the Birth Mask enables us to appreciate clues to the physical and psycho-emotional story of the client’s birth. A diverse range of practitioners can benefit from this information to support their clients in an efficient and compassionate manner.  When the traces of trauma are acknowledged, most human beings are instantly moved to compassion, and a deeper field of “holding” opens

HOW BIRTH IMPACTS THE LARGE CRANIAL BONES

Because a perinate’s cranial bones are thin and not fully ossified, even the four large cranial bones (the Frontal, Parietal, and Occipital), are subject to twisting, buckling, and warping from the forces of the uterine contractions pressing the head through the birth canal.

Unit 3 of this training will cover: how compression and drag forces impact the four large cranial bones parietal and frontal bone ‘overrides’ and ‘underrides’
superciliary archway depressions the overall morphology of the cranium, and the brain the meninges, the falx, and the tentorium and how these important membranes and proximal tissues are affected by birth.

Karlton Terry is one of the world’s leading baby therapists and instructors. His courses are now being taught across Europe where he supervises and continues to influence some of the preeminent baby therapists of this generation. Now he wants to share the gifts of Accurate Empathy, Baby Body Language, Somato-magnetism, and the Birth Mask Reveal (BMR) with practitioners and parents in the Americas.

A “birth mask” is what we see in the face of a baby, especially a newborn, or in the features formed by birth that are still apparent in an adult face. It is always called a birth mask, no matter what the age, because the causative dynamics were compression and drag forces from birth. The mask-making outcome of cranial and facial molding, when properly and empathically studied, reveals a person’s birth story, and shines a bright light on how birth, such as any intense experience, shapes and molds one’s nature and character.
