About The Workshops:

These 2 or 3 day workshops with 3 or 5 participants are an opportunity to be held in a small group womb surround which is designed to explore and heal early imprinting.

Karen will begin by sharing the basic interactive principles, empathy, and contact skills. They are the principles of: Contact (eye contact and touch), Choice, The Pause (for Self Regulation), Confidentiality, and Self-Care (as taught by Dr. Castellino). These ground rules create the possibility for participants to actively support each other during the workshop, creating a safe and nurturing container.

Each participant receives a 2 - 3 hour session facilitated by Karen, and with group support, during which he/she explores physical and emotional patterns of prenatal and birth origin. Each session is followed by individual and group debriefing, integration processing and discussion. Tools used include energy awareness and other touch and empathy skills. The purpose is to heal and repattern early trauma and current dysfunctional behavior. In addition to healing prenatal and birth trauma, this process encourages loving bonding within primary relationships.

Suitable for anyone who is seeking to explore their early imprinting in relation to their life now. This workshop is also recommended for professionals as a means to personally experience the profound changes possible with this approach. Participants leave with deeper levels of awareness directly related to prenatal and birth processes. Birthing professionals are particularly encouraged to explore their own journey into life because it affects they way you sit in your work with birthing families. Also suitable for pregnant women.

From an Abortion Survivor:
"I lived in terror of annihilation all my life, until I got help with my prenatal trauma. The grip it's had on my life, and the toll it's taken on my health, has been enormous. As a young adult and teenager, I expressed this terror unconsciously by being aggressive and verbally annihilating toward people, I felt threatened by anyone who got too close to me, and groups used to be terrifying. I never felt safe, and I didn't know why for a long time. When I realized the origin of my terror was from my mom trying to abort me I still felt it. It wasn't until I was able to get help from someone who knows about these early traumas and their profound affect on us all, and understands their somatic nature, that I was able to heal. I feel my Little One has become an integrated and loved part of me, and she is no longer living in terror for her life because I have embraced her through my healing. I am very blessed to have received this healing work, and to be able to live with a normal nervous system!"
