Revised Module 2: History and Theories of Prenatal & Perinatal Psychology
Experiences during this primary period form the blueprint of our core perceptions, belief structures, and ways of being in the world with others and ourselves. These foundational elements are implicit, observable in newborns, and initiate life-long ways of being. These core implicit patterns profoundly shape our being in life-enhancing or life-diminishing directions.
Your Instructor
Christianna Deichmann, RCST®, PPNE, LMT is a somatic psychotherapist focusing on pre and perinatal psychology, conscious parenting through emotional awareness, and the spiritual science of nurture. She practices massage, Biodynamic CranioSacral Therapy, and pre and perinatal psycho-somatic techniques to help adults, children, and babies release and integrate the pivotal and life altering experiences we have during conception, in-utero, birth, postpartum and early childhood. She is also a trained doula and works with birthing people prior to, during and after birth.
She has been working with the body for over 20 years and deeply believes
in the connection between the physical, spiritual, emotional and mental layers of the body to nature. Healing is about connection: connection to our deepest Self, to one another, and to the powerful health and ability to heal that is inherent in us all. Her greatest goal is to
help women reconnect to themselves, to where they feel the most wise, whole and supported, and can go on to create nurturing relationships.
