I am a Brazilian medical doctor, psychiatrist and Jungian analyst. My work with pregnant couples has led me to understand that in order to foster the quality of pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding it is necessary to impart the knowledge we have about the prenatal and perinatal development of the mind to high school seniors. This year, I am preparing a psychology doctorate introducing the concept of "Science of the Beginning of Life" as a high school curriculum subject. I work with the NGO Pensamento Ecólogico (Ecological Thinking) to qualify disseminators who take this knowledge to schools and communities.

Affect Regulation and Resilience Building Skills. I am aware of the impact of prenatal and perinatal imprints across the life span. I share simple and user friendly tools to refocus attention on accessing a restorative and heart centered nervous system response that can pleasantly down regulate an overactive nervous system. These tools can facilitate the growth of neural networks to emotional states of inner safety and calm. Regaining emotional control and inner safety allows deeper work, when necessary, to be done in a newly resourced and non traumatizing manner.

It offers a new model of the woman’s body and potential in giving birth. This method works with current childbirth medicine. It can be a vital complement to medical birth as well as being a natural childbirth option. The Calm Birth training classes are focused primarily on the practices and how they help women use innate ability to manage labor anxiety and pain. The method includes neuromuscular release, a practice of healing the nervous system in preparing for birth.

The Institute provides heartcentered hypnotherapy throughout the United States and South Africa. We incorporate humanistic psychology (Gestalt, TA, body/mind, bioenergetics), behavior modification techniques (classical and NLP), developmental psychology (prenatal & inner child work), hypnotherapy (traditional and Ericksonian), and a mind/body holistic approach. This unique training teaches powerful age regression techniques and specific tools to heal the whole person. Masters and Ph.D. level therapists. We train therapists to become healers.
