Integrated Prenatal and Perinatal Dynamics has had over a century long pathway of influences grounded in pre and perinatal psychology, Polyvagal Theory, trauma-informed care, epigenetics, osteopathy, biodynamics, polarity, social neuroscience, neuroplasticity, fetal brain research, the baby’s experience, attachment, and bonding. The IPPD Somatic approach is deep-rooted in the midwifery model of care, and includes the experience of the baby. IPPD hopes to prevent and treat birth trauma through our practitioner skills - presence, relationship, listening, recognition and conversation. In our sessions, we honor your personal journey and the echoes of generational patterns that may still live in your body.

Non-regressive and present-time oriented, we work from the earliest chapters of life—from preconception and pregnancy through birth and bonding. These moments shape how we experience safety, connection, and love—and when those experiences are interrupted, they can leave lasting imprints on the body and mind.

We focus on deepening to one’s felt sense, promoting states to metabolize these “first wounds”. Sometimes called early developmental trauma, it is the kind that may go unseen but stored in the body nonetheless, and culprit to underlying emotional and physical patterns.
