Pre & Perinatal Trauma Healing with Kate White
Posted on
Kate White is a somatic trauma resolution therapist, Biodynamic craniosacral and advanced bodyworker specializing in prenatal and perinatal therapies. She specializes in healing early trauma by helping people work through and resolve the adaptive strategies initiated in their earliest years of life. Throughout her career Kate has helped to “educate professionals and the public, worldwide, that a baby’s experience of conception, pregnancy, and birth creates lifelong consequences for individuals, families, and society.” In this episode Kate gives us an overview of pre and perinatal care, her skillset in presence and reading the space between people, and the influence of pioneers in the field Ray Castellino and William Emerson. We discuss the body as memory, and the layers and imprints of pre-conception, pre-natal and birthing trauma. She shares the commonality of the “double bind” and a “stuck place” in life as a result of inherited or birth trauma. We consider the regularity of ancestral imprints and their effect on the family system. Kate addresses the importance of our self-healing, and how treating a baby is in fact treating the whole family. She also shares her insights with regards to best birthing practices such as midwifery, the role of a birth doula, and extended support of the broader family.
Since 1999, Kate has studied alongside many of the pioneers in prenatal and perinatal trauma healing, with extensive education in anatomy, physiology, neuroscience, embryology, interpersonal neurobiology, craniosacral biodynamics and somatic experiencing. She is Founder and former Director of the Department of Education for Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health, and offers online training in both Prenatal and Perinatal Dynamics. Her work combines somatic therapy with brain development to help give families with babies and small children the best possible start.
